"What do I stand for?"

Our weekly Cru meeting has been having 270-300 students in attendance this year!  We praise God for the chance to clearly communicate the Gospel to so many students! To start the year off, we are doing a series that looks at popular song lyrics and how those lyrics show a desire we all have that can be found through Christ.

Last week, I looked at the song "Some Nights" by Fun. and 2 Corinthians 5 to see how we find what we stand for.

Check out the talk here:

They didn't film the first minute where we listened to the song, so if you need a refresher here is the music video.


And lastly, here are the verses I am speaking from:

 14 For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this: that one has died for all, therefore all have died; 15 and he died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised.
16 From now on, therefore, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we once regarded Christ according to the flesh, we regard him thus no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. 18 All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. 20 Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.
-2 Corinthians 5:14-20
