Sunday, May 19th // Recap

Hello rbcstudents! Yesterday we got to spend the morning with all of you continuing our series about the life of Hosea, "A Prophet, A Prostitute, and the God of Love".
Yesterday we discussed about how it is not necessarily about what is on the outside, but what's on the inside... as cliché as that may sound.
In all honesty, though... two things can be identical on the outside, but be completely different internally.  God doesn't care about our exterior... it's not about how we look to the world... that's not what He looks at. God looks at our heart and what's on the inside... and that's what matters.
What do you look like on the inside? What does your relationship with God look like? Not to the world... but to you, and more importantly to our God.
Think about that this week as you go through your life.

Sunday, May 12th // Recap

On Sunday we continued our series, "A Prophet, A Prostitute, and the God of Love", which is a series that is taking all of you, your teachers, and our staff through the book of Hosea.  We hope all of you are enjoying it as much as we are!
This past week we talked about seeing the signs that God gives us to lead us in the direction He desires us to go.  We talked about trusting God and knowing that no matter what, He is involved in our affairs and is actively involved in our lives.  He has a plan for us, which we need to trust. 
If you missed Sunday and you'd like to know more about what we studied, we were in Hosea 4-7 throughout the morning.
We hope all of you loved on your moms a bunch on Sunday and made their Mothers Day awesome! Maybe you even gave them an awesome rbcstudents card with a bear on it! :)
And CONGRATULATIONS to all of you who graduated this past weekend! We're so proud of you!

Sunday, May 5th // Recap

Hey rbcstudents!! We so enjoyed getting to spend Cinco De Mayo with all of you! Yesterday we kicked off our new Sunday series, "A Prophet, A Prostitute, and the God of Love".  We're studying the life of Hosea-- That's "Ho-Zay-Uh"... not "Ho-Zee" our pastor :)

Yesterday we discussed how we need to obey the Lord no matter what, and how His grace and redemption are amazing.

We hope all of you have a wonderful week! Maybe the nice weather will finally stick!! :)
