Hello and welcome to our latest edition of elevation youth online!
This week, we’re going to take a look at the video that went viral recently called ‘the UK blessing’. It’s another example of a video that has been made in lockdown and shows many Christians from across the country joining together to worship.
But did you know this song comes out of a passage from the Old Testament? What does that passage, and the words of the song mean for us today?
Over 65 churches across the UK recently joined together to sing a blessing over our country in the face of the difficulties Covid-19 is bringing.
I know good number of you have been sharing this video amongst one another in recent days. We thought it would be good to place it here for all to see and enjoy.
A very warm welcome to you all again to this week’s edition of our online worship.
This week Dave will be sharing from Acts 17 where Paul explains to the people of Athens how we can know the living God in our lives today.
Please click play on the video below to engage in our worship.
You can also find our lighthouse newsletter here and you are invited to click ‘continue reading’ after the video if you have a moment to leave a message.
Here we go with this weeks Elevation Youth Video Bible discovery. Watch the video “You Say” from the wonderful Lauren Daigle. Then read the bits below and I’ll catch up with you in a bit.
Bible: 2 Corinthians 12:9-10
9 But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. 10 That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
St Paul wrote this letter and he talks about God’s Grace being sufficient for what we need in our troubles and challenges. Grace being the gifts that He gives that we don`t deserve. Paul went through severe challenges but he knew that God was with him as he sought to faithfully follow Jesus and share the Christian message.
How do you respond that even in our challenges God is with us and we can draw on strength from him?
Lauren sings “All that matters is what You [God] think of me…. You say I am strong when I think I am weak”. These words come from the Bible verses above. Are there things in your life which you feel you are stronger in now after times of challenge? If so give thanks to God in your prayers.
We have just one video for this week, but do have a look at the mega-list for a much bigger selection of music videos.
Check out the video below, then have a look over the questions & passage for today before watching the final video (which this week features my garden!)
