Great Groups
“And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.” (Hebrews 10:24-25, NIV) As a Christian, there are many ways that I can do what this passage says. One of which is going to youth group. Youth group is a great way for me to feed my faith, see my friends, and go to some cool events occasionally.
First off, youth group helps me grow as a Christian young man. Every Sunday night I get to gather around God’s word with my friends and have a devotion. Sometimes we study God’s word, and reflect on it. Other times we apply His word to our life and see how we can lead Christian lives better. An added benefit is that I get to meet with fellow Christians as God commands in the passage stated earlier.
Next, you can see your friends at youth group. Everyone likes seeing their friends outside of school. Youth group is one of those times that you can see friends outside of school. After the devotion is over with, you can do many different things depending on what people want to do. If people want to socialize, then they can do so for a while. If they’d like to play a sport or a game, they can do so. So many kids my age hang out by sending pictures of their foreheads to each other. However, if I asked everyone in my class if they like seeing their friends in person or online, I’m almost certain that the fan favorite will be seeing them in person.
The final reason that you should become a part of youth group is because there are cool events that happen from time to time. For example, the youth group has gone to a corn maze, and is going to be roller skating in the future. Of course, there is also the youth rally every two years where lots of teens gather around God’s Word and enjoy time with each other.
Not many people go to youth group, and I’m not really sure why. You get to learn more about our Savior, hang out with friends, and go to cool events. So what are you waiting for? Go and enjoy youth group today!
