God's Umbrella

Bringing Heaven/Hell to Earth

We often talk about Heaven and Hell as "places" people go when they die based on the life they lived. Ypj challenges our thinking about heaven and hell to view them as present realities that we play a part in bringing into our world. Every day we can choose to bring heaven into our homes, school and lives of our friends...or we can choose to bring them hell. The choice, and the responsibility to choose right, is ours.

A Solid Foundation pt. 1 - Sand and Rocks

Today's Christian youth look and act almost the same as the rest of the world...why is that? Because their spiritual foundation is weak - consisting of mostly fun, friends, and feelings. ypj begins talking about what a solid foundation that will last a lifetime is built on. The first thing - Truth.

Trust Issues pt.2

ypj continues talking about trust using the story of Peter walking on water as an example. Peter trusted Jesus, but he also doubted. Jesus, however, didn't give up on Peter even when he fell short.

Little Sacrifices

ypj talks about a problem many of us have...we like to give God little sacrifices instead of giving him what he truly wants - us - our total commitment to him.

God's Umbrella

ypj discusses Proverbs 3 and explains that there are many things that God wants us to seek after...because the result of seeking those things leads to a blessed life. Under God's umbrella are all the good things we are seeking.
