2021 Fall College Conference

2021-Fall-College-Conference-Title

 

Topic: Christ’s Deep Longing and Good Pleasure
November 5th-7th, 2021, Glorieta, New Mexico

2021-Fall-College-Conference-Collage

4 Takeaways:

  • The Bible is a romance revealing that God desires a bride and is working to gain her; we
    must respond to God’s desire by loving Christ in a personal and affectionate way.
  • The first couple in the Bible, Adam and Eve, presents a picture of God’s desire to be one with
    man and of all that He did to gain the church for Christ as His counterpart.
  • Christ gave Himself for the church in order to sanctify her through the washing of
    the water in the Word, making the church His beautiful bride.
  • We as the Lord’s bride must earnestly desire for the Lord to come back while also sounding
    the call for sinners’ salvation so that the consummation of the divine romance can be reached!

We also learned a new song based on (Mark 12:30)

(Part 1)

You shall love the Lord with all your heart,

You shall love the Lord with all your soul,

You shall love the Lord with all your mind,

With all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind!

(Part 2)

O Lord, I love You for all the things You are!

O Lord, I love You for all the things You do!

O Lord, I love You. Help me love You more,

With all my heart, with all my soul, with all my mind!

The Heavenly Vision

In the Summer of 2021, a few Christian clubs around the Mountain States gathered on Zoom to talk about the heavenly vision that the Apostle Paul saw during his conversion in Acts 9; the same heavenly vision he mentioned to King Agrippa that he was obedient to throughout his life (Acts  26:19 ).

As we unravel the Heavenly Vision, we see six main things that the apostle Paul saw.

1. The Vision of Christ
2. The Vision of the Church
3. The Vision of the Body
4. The Vision of the Self
5. The Vision of the World
6. The Vision of Consecration Continue reading “The Heavenly Vision”

Today Jesus is the real Jubilee

A story from the Fall 2018 College conference held in Wanship, Utah

Today-Jesus-is-the-real-Jubilee

The last message of the conference was about the Jubilee. God had delivered the Israelites, His people, from Egypt and from oppression.. At the end of Leviticus God gave them the instruction to observe the year of Jubilee – that was supposed to be every 50th year. The children of Israel each had received a portion of the good land from God. Over time, if some mismanaged their possessions, they might have sold everything they had, even their portion of the land, and possibly even themselves (into slavery). However, on the year of Jubilee, they got to go back to their possessions!

Today Jesus is the real Jubilee–and we are those who have been set free from all slavery that is in the world! When we got saved, Jesus restored us to Himself as our allotted portion and to our family–all the brothers and sisters in the church! We used to live oppressed but now have Jesus and our new family! – Debbie

Spending Personal Time with the Lord

A story from the Fall 2018 College Conference held in Wanship, Utah

Spend-Personal-Time-with-the-Lord-To-Eat-HimThe Bible verses in the College Conference emphasized the importance of eating Christ. For example, John 6:57 says, “As the living Father has sent Me and I live because of the Father, so he who eats Me, he also shall live because of Me.” For us to actually experience this, we were sent off to spend personal time with the Lord. During that time, I practiced singing to the Lord, reading His word, praying, and simply learning to spend time with Him, even learning to just communicate with Him.

Another aspect of eating Christ that stood out to me in the conference was that whatever we are surrounded by, that is what we take in to us and that is what we end up expressing. On the one hand, this is quite serious, as we could end up with “Garbage in, garbage out.” On the other hand, if we’re taking Christ in, then we’re expressing Him. – Eli

Christians on Campus at the University of Utah – 2018 Spring Break Trip

This much anticipated Spring Break trip took us through the following cities:
Colorado: Denver, Boulder, Estes Park
Wyoming: Lyman

When we were in Denver on Thursday and Friday morning of the trip we gathered together before going sight-seeing. Those morning times were full of fellowship and worship. We released our spirits in praise to the Lord like never before, especially as we sang Psalm 30:11-12 “Thou hast turned my mourning into dancing for me…!”

Here are the lyrics of this song:

Thou hast turned my mourning into dancing for me;
Thou hast put off my sackcloth;
Thou hast turned my mourning into dancing for me,
And girded me with gladness;
To the end my glory may sing praise unto Thee,
And not be silent.
O Lord my God, I will give thanks unto Thee forever.

Listen to the tune here: https://www.hymnal.net/en/hymn/h/1334

In Denver we also visited the Red Rock Amphitheater where we sang some songs from the stage!

Boulder is such a colorful town! We hiked and went tea tasting, of course!

During the Christians on Campus Mountain States College Cconference at Estes Park, every student from every campus prepared a one minute point of truth. One person shared on 2 Corinthians 4:7 “We have this treasure in earthen vessels…”. According to the verses surrounding this verse, the light of God is what brings the treasure into us, the vessels. This Treasure is Jesus Christ! What is needed, is for us to open our minds to God. This is like a camera opening the shutter to let the light in and then the light burns the image onto the film! Lord Jesus, We’d like to turn to you again and again, and gain You more and more!
