On Sunday (7/15/07), I asked the youth for what they want to do and what they want to get out of this group. Please pray as I am still putting together the mission statement and goals for the youth group. Please do let me know if there is any input you would like to contribute.
Afterwards, we took a look at Psalm 149. However, something that is interesting to do is to let multiple people read the bible passage out loud. People can get different things out of the same passage from different readers. Different readers may also emphasize different words or different parts of the passage. New meaning can be drawn out of the Scriptures this way and hopefully make it come more alive for all of us.
Only a couple things to point out in the actual text. Verses 1-5 gives us several ways that we can praise the Lord- singing, dancing, and musical instruments. Since these are all musical ways mentioned in the psalm, I need to stress that praising the Lord is a lifestyle and can be done through most actions. Also of note- the double-edged sword in verse 6 represents the complete judgment the Messiah will do when He returns. It is never right for us to take vengeance out of our own will or accord.
