More Than A Logo – Week 1

We’re trying something new with this series. Bro. Mark was videoed teaching Week 1 and the video is posted below along with the link to the note sheet to follow along.

Week 1 – Student Notes

More Than A Logo

As preparations were being made for this year’s AMPED gatherings, the question that came to my mind was, “What is AMPED?” Is AMPED just a name we’ve decided to call our Tuesday night gatherings or even our student ministry or is it more? Does “AMPED” really encompass or convey everything we want to accomplish under God’s leadership? The more I prayed, listened, read, and contemplated, I began to hear God’s voice and He begin to teach me what AMPED truly is meant to be and become. AMPED is more than a logo, more than a name that we have decided to call our Tuesday night gatherings and subsequently our student ministry. AMPED encompasses a lifestyle, a direction, a drive to see the Kingdom of God expand in Clarksville and to the ends of the Earth. When I think of the word amped in general terms, I think of someone energetic either due to excitement or one to many Monster drinks. When someone is “amped” about something, there is a drive, an excitement, a dedication to see their energies pay off. Through this time of prayer, a drive began within me. The drive to see God’s Kingdom expand, the drive to see our students and their families grow in their relationship with Christ, the drive to see believers connect in meaningful relationships, the drive to ministry multiply as a result of hearts being excited for the things of God. I heard a statement last night, “Evangelism isn’t evangelism until the evangelized begins to evangelize”. This statement encompasses growth (discipleship), a desire to honor God (worship), a heart for those needing to hear the message of hope, forgiveness, and completeness found only in Christ (evangelism), encouragement that comes from true friendships (fellowship), and the desire to meet the needs of people in our community (ministry).

Tonight begins a 5 part series on what AMPED Student Ministries is, our mission, our vision, how we are a part of FBC St. Bethlehem, and the part each person plays in seeing the Gospel of Christ spread.

Prayer Time

In light of the recent events involving the tragic loss of life to friends of many of our students, the worship center at FBC St. Bethlehem will be open from 3-5PM for any students or parents to come and pray and/or have a quiet place to reflect and spend time with God.

When you arrive please enter the church through the office doors.
