Living Proof Live!

A group of 11 of us went to see Beth Moore at a Living Proof Live event this weekend in Kansas City. It was an awesome time of worship, fellowship, catching up with old friends and making new ones.

This is our whole group. There were six of us from our church, plus my sister-in-law, friends from Iowa State, a childhood friend, and a new friend I'd never met before.
Waiting for the event to begin.
Kiles (college friend), Melissa (sis-in-law)
Evanica, Karissa and Nicole (church friends)
Jane and Lisa (church friends)
Darcy (college friend), Jana (new friend)

Our church group
My wonderful friends, I wish they lived closer. Oh how I miss them!

We had SO much fun laughing and catching up and staying up WAY too late. What a blessing this time was for me and I think everyone in the group would say the same.

I've debated about whether I should post notes. It just isn't the same if you weren't there to hear her commentary, but in the hopes that something in the notes will catch your attention, give you some encouragement, or make you think, I'll post the main points she gave.

Text: 1 Thessalonians 1

Definitions:
WE - The Effectual - fruit bearers (mature believers)
YOU - The Affecting - fruit bearing
THEY - The Affected - fruit tasting

1. The contagion of faith still spreads through WE, YOU and THEY.
2. THEY can catch what YOU have and YOU can catch what WE have.
3. WE are called to affirm YOU in your faith and in your fruit.
4. YOU need to see proof that WE are for real and THEY need to see proof that YOU are for real.
5. THEY cannot remain indecisive. THEY must choose.
6. Every WE, YOU, THEY and the rest will behold the return of Jesus.
7. WE will see YOU there.

So, these points make perfect sense to me because I heard everything else she said, but if they're confusing on their own I would be more than happy to explain them further. Or just ask me about the conference, I would love to tell you more about it!
