Welcome to the podcast of Emerge Youth Church, the youth ministry of Crown Pointe Church in the Kansas City area. We hope this podcast inspires you and challenges you to grow closer to Christ.
Jesus used parables (stories) to illustrate deep, Kingdom truths. We are looking at how to apply them to our lives today.
What if you had just 30 days to live? How would your life be different? Is it possible to make the most of every day, right now?
Looking at Matthew 28:16-20, Jesus is calling all of us to get in the game. Everyone has a part to play in bringing people to Jesus.

Mountaintops and Valleys
So good to have one of our volunteers share about their experiences on the mountaintops and in the valleys.
Any time you begin to do something worthwhile, especially when it involves living for Christ… there will alway be people who “Throw Shade,” so how do you deal with them, how do you live above the hate and live the life God has called you to live?
This was such a great night where we invited the parents of our students to be a part of our student ministry. Parents are vital to the life of our student ministry and we are so thankful for every parent.

This entire series is about identity and the identity of this generation as a whole. We want to help students understand that their identity is rooted in Christ. Their identity as a generation perfectly lines up with what the Bible expects of us as Believers, and because of this they are more primed for the Great Commission than any generation in history

It's one thing to say you are a Christian, it's another thing to actually follow Jesus. So how can you tell if you're for real, or if you're fake?

We want to be the kind of people where God looks at us and says, "That's what I'm talking about!"

We have a lot of "Christians" who don't look anything like Jesus or resemble His teaching. The word "Christian" seems to have lost it's meaning. We want to challenge our students to not be merely a Christian... but a true disciple of Jesus.
God is with us all of the time, so it makes sense that he should be number one in our Squad
Let’s be honest, so much of what students do is controlled by the opinions of others. “WHAT IF… I didn’t care what people thought about me?” Using the story of David and Goliath, this message challenges students to stand up to peer pressure and live courageously for their faith, even when they face ridicule and discouragement from other people.
