Read: Mark 3:1-15
I was surprised to see a nationally distributed news article commending a group of teenage snowboarders who hold weekly church services on a Colorado ski slope. In the Summit Daily News, Kimberly Nicoletti’s story captured a wide audience with her account of teens who love to snowboard and to tell how Jesus changed their lives. Undergirding the teenagers is a Christian youth organization equipping them to demonstrate God’s love.
It’s easier to do things yourself than to train others, yet Jesus poured Himself into a dozen disciples through whom His work would reach the world. In the midst of the pressing need of people clamoring to be healed, He climbed a mountain where “He appointed twelve, that they might be with Him and that He might send them out” (Mark 3:14).
One of those snowboarders in Colorado said of her discipleship training: “I’ve never been able to build relationships with family or friends; I’ve kept them at arm’s length. [The program] showed me God’s love. It opened me to reach out to people.”
Experiencing Jesus’ love and being in company with Him and His followers, we find courage to act and speak in ways that honor our Lord.
Tell it wherever we are.
I have a small booklet (few pages) about 50 if I remember correctly, titled “Speak to the Mountain” based on ...
“And Jesus answered and said to them, “Truly I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ it will happen” (Matthew 21:21; Mark 11:23”
This teaching is rarely taught in main line Christian Churches. There are people that had faith to miracles.
DOUBT NOT!

Greetings Amy’s Place!
Still waiting for spring here in WI.
Was 40 for a day, now it’s 20, going down to -11 in a few days.
We missed the freezing rain predicted for yesterday (trying to point out something good about our weather).
It is very windy the last 24 hours. Only up to 50 mph,not bad (sarcasm).
The sun is shining beautifully (on the ice that is all over the ground...more sarcasm).
When it got to 40 the other day, it broke a record length of 75 consecutive days below 32 degrees. (helpful fact to try to make this winter “interesting”).
I haven’t completely lost my sense of humor, but my jokes are getting more lame as time goes on.
SOS..send chocolate and caffeine, asap.
Thanks for our theme song and the moving graphic, LUV.
Thanks for the cocoa!
