God has done so much in all of you just as we have been praying that he would do.  Our last Fuse service of the year on December 16th was incredible!  We had 25 students in the OP area give their lives to Jesus and so many others arise to the challenge to tell their family and friends about Jesus this Christmas and how he is alive and not dead!!  I can’t wait to hear all of the stories and testimonies of what God did when you all return.  Remember to be bold and not to worry if you dont have all the answers, all you need to know is what Jesus has done in your life and you cant fail!! 

Reminder that the next Fuse OP service will not be until January 13th, that will be 3 weeks from this past Wednesday night!  If you need prayer or help with anything please just comment on the blog and I will be sure to get in touch with you!  I hope that all of you will have an incredible Christmas with your family and friends, enjoy your time and take it slowly because it will fly bye.  Love you all

Sean

Take this poll and let us know what you want to do next for Element!!

Hey guys, as you all know or have felt God is really doing a lot of amazing things!  And if you have noticed also the devil is obviously upset at that and is trying to do everything that he can to disrupt, come between, tear apart and distract all of us from what God has for us.  What we have to do is make a decision that we will guard our hearts and minds and put Christ first in every area of our life!  That when we come to services on Wednesdays we are there for God and nothing else.  We need to come in as we are with all of our sin our mess and give it to God and let Him wash us pure as snow, because he is the only one that can 100% completely fulfill our needs b/c He was the one who created us and knows how to completely satisfy us! 

My challenge is that we read the Life Journal scriptures I send out everyday, that we spend time everyday in the presence of God talking to Him and letting Him know how much we love Him and are thankful and let Him love us as he was intended to do, commit to living a life that is above the worlds standards for God and reach out and love people as Christ did and still does.  When we do these 4 things then we will see and experience what God has and wants us to experience.
