We Must Be Strong (Red Coat Series, Part 4)

What does it take to earn the Red Coat?

The same thing it takes to follow Christ, give it your all!


Reciting the Gettysburg Address at
Bethany Village Nursing Home
during a Mother's Day Luncheon

It takes Courage! 

I developed courage as I learned new skills in L2L in my 7 years of participating.  

Courage is sometimes feeling fear and doing the thing anyway. 

 In a little while, it becomes easier!   

At first, I did not enjoy speaking in public.  

Now I love it!  Practice makes perfect.  

Although I rarely do it perfectly.  

This was the first time I led the 
Communion Service


It takes Strength

What else does it take to earn the Red Coat?

A tremendous amount of Strength. God will give you the strength, so don't worry.



Giving it your all

What does it take to follow Christ, to give him our "ALL?"

It takes courage, and it takes daily strength.

The word of God says that we will be transformed when we meditate on the words in the Bible

as often as we can!

Convention 2021

What is the benefit of this?

More joy.

More adventure.

More purpose.

More is something we all want. 


Giving to Get

What if the only way to find more is to give Jesus all that you have?

You can discover the Treasure worth everything. 

Jesus has everything you need.

Matthew 6:21 says, “For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” 

How about you, do you know Jesus?

What is Servant Leadership?








During my third year in Lads to Leaders,

 

Our Theme for 2015/2016 was

 "All that you say to me, I will do."

 

 It is never easy to strive
 
To obey the Bible in all things
 
But there is no better way to try to live.

I have met many wonderful people who
Have Ruth 3 verse 5 as their goal in life.

These people are good people,

 I mean
 
Salt of the Earth types. 

 

Many of them are with me in Lads to Leaders (L2L).

My Puppet Team last year


For 2015/2016 in Lads to Leaders, I signed up for 19 events.  



That is HUGE.  



This is only my Third year in L2L, but I was interested in so many things, 

my parents said I could do 19 events, 

IF promised to complete two events or items per month. 

  

I had to make a plan on paper, and my mom made me keep a journal, 

writing down when I was working on each event, 

and when I finished. 


 It kept me on track.  


But even if I don't win a single event, it doesn't matter, 

because I will have gained so much more.  

Youth Service work this year


Here is a song that sums it all up:


Make me a servant, Lord, Make me like you... 
For you are a Servant, 
Make me like You,
Make me a servant, 
Do what you must do,
To make me a servant, 
Make me like you.
