In order for you to understand your purpose, God needs your to be able to empathize with others, so he can use you effectively. So sometimes he will take you through somethings you won't understand at the time, but it is all for His Glory. And when God sends a warning, its important to seek God before the Destruction. Don't wait until it's to late. God is a Forgiving God, and just like God sent Moses to warn Pharaoh, God sends us warning. He is giving us a chance to repent, adjust our mindset, and change our behavior. Don't miss your chance!

Sometimes you have to Switch it up! We are always asking God to do new things in our lives but then we try to bring our same old garbage with us. The bible says we have to be TRANSFORMED by the renewing of our mind. Some of us are not spiritually ready for what God wants to do for us, and God is not going to put new wine in the old bottle. You have to work to change yourself so you can be ready! Date: January 26, 2020 Speaker: Elder Adrias Schwartz - Youth President Message Title: Switch it Up! Primary Scripture Reference: Matthew 9:16-17 KJV "No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse.Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved."

God always keeps his promises, we just have to have the strength to wait. Waiting is hard, and God’s timing is not always our timing. But if God has promised it, we know it will come to pass. But you have to put in the work. Sometimes God is waiting on us to make the first move to show our commitment before he starts blessing us.

Our relationship with God requires just as much effort and attention as we put into our relationship with our best friend, he deserves it! He died for us, and all He asks of us is to follow His teachings. If you love God, keep His commandments. Speaker: Sister Amber Schwartz Date: Sunday June 22, 2025 (Youth Day! Every 4th Sunday of the Month) Sermon Title: That’s It! Scripture References: John 3:16 ESV For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. John 14:15 ESV If you love me, you will keep my commandments. Romans 10:9 ESV Because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 1 John 2:4 – 6 ESV: Whoever says “I know him” but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him, but whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected. By this we may know that we are in him: whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked. John 14:21 ESV: Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him. John 14:23 ESV: Jesus answered him, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. John 15:10 ESV: If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love. John 15:14 ESV: You are my friends if you do what I command you. Galatians 5:22-23: But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.
