What Makes Momentum So Awesome?
Last night at my church, I had the opportunity to share about my recent trip to Momentum conference. When you come back from a long trip, most people want to know how things went. They want to hear if you enjoyed your time or why you took the trip on the first place. So, having the chance to share more than just the normal few seconds of responding to a "trip" question, I shared what makes Momentum so vital to our Fellowship of Grace Brethren churhces.First, it's about Jesus. We all know why we came. We came because we have One Person in common and that is our Great God and Savior, Jesus. Second, It's an amazing conference that draws young people together to worship, grow deeper, serve, and commit to their God. Third, it's more than a conference. It is an environment that encourages young believers to look beyond themselves and to see that they can (and do) make an impact on a dying world for Him. Fourth, it helps young Christians see that the church (local & universal) is not only important but a way of life for all believers. They are not an island unto themselves but a body connected together.
Fifth, it is the future of the Fellowship. When I asked the college-age people how they came to Christ, more than half of them responded that Momentum was a significant reason why they are still followers of Jesus. These young believers are in Grace Brethren churches. They are going back to their home church to start small groups, disciple young people, live lives that please their God, and will some day be leaders in your church.That's what makes Momentum so awesome and vital for our Fellowship. If you had some young people that attended Momentum, stop and ask them what impacted them at conference. I think you'll be very encouraged by what you hear.
