So you Know…
This Sunday!! Don’t forget we are having a leader celebration this Sunday January 16 from 12:45-2:30 in the youth room. I hope you can make it. If you didn’t think you could go and did not RSVP…no worries come on out. We will be having a meal together and we got you a gift to show our appreciation for all you do for the amazing students we serve. Then we will talk through the next few months of ministry
Next Tuesday Night!! We will be shifting our flow next week to accommodate a night of training for our students. A student had the idea to have training for students who are often the go to people for students who are having a mental health crisis. We loved the idea and are making it happen next Tuesday night January 18. We will break off into small groups at 7:15. So please try to arrive at PHC by 6:45PM. Then at 8PM we will gather in the youth room for a message/training.
The 21 Day Fast (In case anyone has questions)
PHC is embarking on a 21 day fast. Beginning January 9, you’re invited to join Pine Hills in a church-wide 21-day time of intentional prayer and fasting that could energize your prayer life, enlarge your understanding of your blessings in Christ, and enrich your intimacy with the Holy Spirit.
Fasting and prayer can also bring about more than just personal transformation. When God’s people practice biblical fasting and prayer, God hears from heaven and can heal our lives, our churches, our communities, our nations, and our world. Fasting and prayer can bring about revival!
Our hope is that God will bring spiritual breakthrough in areas where you’re desiring it and that you will experience His love and presence deeper than you’ve ever felt it before. We encourage you to take this journey with us and to see what God can do in the next three weeks!
Getting Started

Digging In
- What does it mean to be Justified?
- Why it is difficult to believe/trust that we are completely accepted by our Heavenly Father
- What aspect of life could/would/should change if we fully embraced being fulled accepted by The God of The Universe?
- How does our Justification by grace through faith impact our quite moments spent with Jesus. Are these times out of obligation, guilt or…?
- What does it mean to stand in the grace of God
- Romans 5:6 You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. What does this verse say about Gods timing?
- BONUS: What is the importance of the blood of Jesus as it relates to our Justification?
Discuss
It is clear that God through Jesus has gone to extraordinary lengths to make a way for us to have a relationship with Him. Our theme for the semester is “with” Jesus, how does a renewed understanding of what He did encourage us to spend time with Him?
