Youth LIFE Meeting - August 1, 2012

3. What is
CHRISTIAN
Commitment
for you?

4. Pamilyar ba kayo sa mga pangungusap na ito?
• They talk the talk, but doesn’t walk the walk.
• Nagsisimba naman ako pag linggo ah!
• Nakapagsermon na naman, tara na!
• Maaga pa naman, pag word of God na lang tayo
pumunta sa church.
• Nagbibigay naman ako ng tithes and offering ko
tuwing Sunday.

5. Do you
remember the
story of the
Chicken and
Pig?

6. A chicken and a pig were walking down
the road together. They passed a sign for
a local diner advertising its breakfast
special: “Ham and Eggs – $2.95!” The
chicken said, “That’s our whole
contribution to society: breakfast food!”
The pig replied, “For
you, it may
be a contribution. For me
it’s a total commitment.”

7. Contribution is
far different
from
COMMITMENT

8. Do you know that
GOD commits
Himself for you?
John 15:13
13 Greater love has no one than
this: to lay down one’s life for
one’s friends.

9. Now, If God
gives His life for
you, what would
you offer to
Him?

10. It is our commitment.
And commitment is
offering your life to
Him
Isaiah 26: 4
So trust in the Lord (commit yourself to Him, lean on
Him, hope confidently in Him) forever; for the Lord
God is an everlasting Rock [the Rock of Ages].
Proverbs 16:3a
Roll your works upon the Lord [commit and trust
them wholly to Him;

11. The HEART of
Commitment
is not just in our
hearts, but in
ACTION /
