Our speaker for the week, Norm Hubbard, is on staff with the Navigators at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He proudly displayed his love for the Green Bay Packers. Our group booed him like the proud Bears fans they are. Ok, maybe not, but you get the point! We decided not to hold it against him. ;)
Regardless of his nfl fandom, God has brought Norm here to Wintertainment 2013 for a specific reason. He will be sharing with us this week from 1 John & answering a question that many people, especially students, struggle with. How do I know without any doubt that I am truly saved? How can I tell if I'm a true follower of Jesus if I don't "feel" like it sometimes?
He introduced the topic tonight by asking whether people would know if we are followers of Jesus by looking at our everyday lives (our actions) the last few weeks. Would the evidence stacked up be able to convince ourselves? He encouraged the group by telling them that they can know for sure whether or not they are a true follower of Christ.
1 John 5:13 "I write these things to you who believe in the Son of God so that you may KNOW that you have eternal life."
Would you continue to pray for each of us, including Norm? Pray that we would be encouraged yet challenged in our relationship with Jesus.
Here are a few pics from our session!
