As a young man, Bill Bright, wrote down a commitment that he made to God.
“From this day forward, I am a slave of Jesus Christ.”
It was a pivotal moment in his Christian life. Bright was the founder of Campus Crusade for Christ, commissioned the JESUS Film and many lives have been impacted through his lifetime of proclaiming Jesus.
On the final night of NYMC 2013 Andy Hawthorne spoke about Bright and urged everyone from Romans 12:1-2 to give ourselves wholeheartedly to the cause of Christ. Hawthorne gave a fantastic summary of Romans 1-11 and the gospel of free grace for sinners through faith in Christ Jesus. He then showed how this was the mercy described in Romans 12:1 “in view of God’s mercy”. It was my favourite talk of the conference and I am compelled to continue seeking to live out Romans 12:1-2 as a slave of Jesus.
#NYMC 2013 SUMMARY
National Youth Ministry Convention 2013 (official website) finished two weeks ago. It was a great conference! I loved catching up with old friends, making news friends and being part of stimulating discussion that helps sharpen my theology and youth ministry practice.
In each of my presentations I promised some online resources. Below are some quick links to these resources. If you weren’t at the conference they should still be relevant and useful if you’re interested in the topic.
