I went to CFC, Christian Fellowship Church, for the first time this evening. It was their 'youth' service but there were peeps of all ages, about 500 peeps of all ages. And I really enjoyed it. The sermon was given by 2 pastors who have been working in South Africa (already awesome) and are now ministering at City Church Belfast. He talked about our inheritance as the people of God and being on fire for God with regards to the charimastic church. She (and this is the bit I liked) then tagged in and talked about wisdom and discernment and not being a gullable people. She also mentioned how important it was to be grounded at a home church so that you can be held accountable when you go out into the world. This obviously spoke to me as somebody who is so desperate to get out again already.
This all affirms my decision to take on the Blaze program at church. Blaze is aimed at 16-18 year olds, which this year makes up the core of our youth. It needs to be a program that is appropriate for believers with questions, at a crucial stage of their faith life. It will be a challenge to design but there is alot of potential and if I am going to get involved with anything at FLPC, this is what I want it to be.
