  • Summer Leaders Retreat

    By CO Staff on 02 May 2012

    This past weekend we took 80 people to Camp Shamineau in Minnesota for our summer leaders retreat. The weekend was packed full of talks and workshops to help prepare our student leaders for their different roles for the summer. We heard talks from staff guys on the heart of a leader, the head of a leader, and the hands of a leader. Reid Jilek shared with us about the importance of our leaders really owning everything at the training project. As a leader of the project, we are called to think that we are hosts of the project, not just guests.

  • Exposing Personal Sin

    By Steve Discher on 17 Apr 2012

    I am studying through the book of Ephesians with my group of five sophomore guys. Tonight we are studying Ephesians 5:1-20. A couple verses that stuck out to me were verses 8 and 11, “For at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light… Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them.” Paul is talking about them actively walking in the light and exposing the unfruitful deeds of darkness.

    Much could be said about confessing and exposing sin but I just want to point out one principle and give some thoughts on it:

    Principle: A Christian walks in the light and exposes their personal sin.

  • Holy Week

    By Ann Nelson on 09 Apr 2012

    This week, an old family friend wrote me this note: "After the resurrection people began to meet the risen Christ. Millions have done so over the last 2000 years. Today is a good day to introduce someone to him."

    This week we celebrated Holy Week; the week that contains the most important events of human history. And my friend is right, for 2,000 years, hundreds, then thousands, then millions of Christians all over the world have gathered to remember and worship the one who died and rose again on their behalf. This celebration of the events of Holy Week will continue until Christ returns and then on into eternity where we will forever worship the Lamb who was slain.
