So what does fireBRANDS actually mean? Do we really know what it means as often as we use this word?

Firebrands : a bunch of youth who would not follow the status quo, who are super radical for Jesus and who hold on to truth even if it's not popular.

A torch (firebrand) in God's hands can make a huge difference.

A torch in the world's hands can also cause destruction.

Zechariah 3 - Joshua, the high priest, was clothed in filthy garments. But God still called him a 'firebrand', and then He cleansed Joshua.

Question is : what should we do as firebrands?

1. Grow spiritually- study the Word of God!

- takes time and effort.

- if you can read sejarah, bio, chemistry, physics - why not the Bible? :)

­- you can be as deep as you want to

- you don't read the Bible to feel good: it's spiritual survival!

2.Connect relationally.

- love God and be at peace with God

- it's not just emotional, it's a decision

- if you say you love God, but your heart doesn't mean it, it hurts God

-love one another with no ulterior motives

- prefer others better than ourselves

- good friendship watches out for and prays for each other.

in every relationship, you need to guard it, treasure it and give to it.

3. Serve strategically, not for attention.

-view our lifework as our vocation (calling/purpose)

education (our "favourite" topic)

- is important to prepare ourselves because if you got nothing to give to the world, why would they listen?

- serving God is completely related to what you choose to pursue in higher education

- go in studies where God wants you to be in.

- don't subscribe to the 'herd mentality'

- Do not blow up your chances of getting good results in school :)

Remember that through good results, you can glorify His name too!

And that's about it, folks.

For those who are reading this post and haven't been to any of our youth services, do join us this Saturday!
