In our final episode in this series, we look at WHY we should be and ECHO and WHAT prevents us from being a clear ECHO to our world. You have a right to be an ECHO. You’re voice needs to be heard. Revelation 12:11 says that we “overcome...by the word of our testimony...” Psalm 145:6 “...I will TELL of Your greatness!” So...go...and be the ECHO that your world needs!

In our 3rd episode of “ECHO”, we’ll look at some of the basic parts of the definition of an ECHO. In its simplest form, it’s just a sound repeated...being reflected back to it source. We can be the ECHO of Christ to the world we live in. Did you know that there are 2 types of boomerangs? Ones that return to the point from which they were throw...and ones that don’t return (guessed you figured that out). It’s God’s desire that we “return to the point from which we were sent”...HIM! Glad you chose to tune in to ECHO Student Ministries!

Week 2 in our introduction of ECHO! Study sound and you will find that there are certain conditions necessary for a clear ECHO to take place and certain conditions for it to be heard. Check out this weeks episode and see if you can be that ECHO!

A new name for the youth minsitry at Father’s Vineyard...our home church. One definition of ECHO: a person who imitates another. Ephesians 5:1 “Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are his dear children.” You are called to be an “ECHO” of Jesus Christ to this generation! Check out the next few weeks as we look at what it takes to become an ECHO for Christ!

A short Christmas message to remind us all of “THE BIG PICTURE”. I hope that you didn’t caught up in the all of the distractions this season can bring. There really is a greater story. Don’t miss the bigger picture!

Surrender. Give up. Neither of those sound appealing to us. Do they? But (big BUT), if we’re going to serve God (and that’s our choice), we’re going to have to eventually surrender our life to Him and His plan. His love for you and me should be enough reason to surrender our life. Think about it. We struggle with giving control of our life over to the One who made the entire universe AND everything in it? We don’t trust the One who spoke and planets, stars and galaxies simply came into being? It’s time to surrender your life...to honor God! He’s worth it!

What? Serve? And, serve IN LOVE?!?!?! Really? Yep. Really! We were created BY God to DO good works! Yeah, I know...sometimes we serve just to get something from someone else. But true “service” exists when we do something for someone else and we don’t expect anything in return!

Who are you “growing to be like”? Seriously. Who? You may not think you’re growing to be “like” anyone...but you are. And you are the only person who can determine who you are growing to be like!

Connections are super important! Having the right connections are even more important. Connecting our life to God is THE MOST IMPORTANT!

We all occasionally ask the question; “What am I here for?” Well...even though the title may mislead you, we all need to live with PMS. Not what you think...really! P=purpose M=meaning S=substance So...we ALL need to live with PMS!
