Welcome!!!

Hi everyone!

Welcome to EFC East Valley's HS blog. We are glad that you have found our site. We will try to update this as much as possible to update you on the happenings of our HS fellowship. Anyway, here is our mission statement for our group:

EV High School Fellowship exists to build a strong community of believers who are growing in their faith through the teaching of Scripture to equip and train them to reach out to their friends and community around them who do not yet have a relationship with Jesus and glorify God in all that they are.

Our key verse comes from Matthew 22:36-40: "Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law? "Jesus replied: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hand on these two commandments."

We hope that you will continue to drop by our blog and come join us on Fridays and Sundays!

discovering God's will (part 2)

in our HS CE this past sunday, we went through part 2 of "discovering God's will" by Andy Stanley. we want to remind you that the foundation of knowing what God wants us to do is grounded in knowing who God is and knowing His truth found in the bible. 


Here are the notes from our lesson:

  1. The problem with knowing God’s will is not God’s unwillingness to speak; the problem is our unwillingness to follow through.
  2. God does not give us direction for consideration.
  3. God gives direction for participation.
  4. Surrender to the known will of God paves the way to discovery of the unknown will of God.
  5. Broken people have a very east time discerning God’s will.
  6. God is more interested in your discovering Him that His will.
  7. Your prayer life is at an all-time high when you’re making a decision.
  8. In the process of trying to know His will, we get to know Him.
  9. God created communication. That makes Him the greatest communicator.
  10. God wants you to know His will even more than you want to know it.

the goal of this lesson is to create a clear distinction between desiring to follow God's will and desiring to benefit from His wisdom. God doesn't give advice; He gives direction. But He only gives it to hearts that are first surrendered to His lordship. If you're looking for opinions, ask your friends. If you're looking to give God control of your life, you're essentially guaranteed to find out His will in the process.
