Now let's remember some of the key stuff the John Schaffner taught us this weekend:
First you gotta know the truth, and who is the truth? Jesus! You gotta know the truth, because Real Truth Always Transforms. And where do we find truth? The Word, God's word. So where is your jelly bean? Have you INjested it yet? Embrace it, injest it and start putting on spiritual weight.
Then you gotta speak the truth, but before you speak a word, you gotta live it out. We need to be a demonstration of the Gospel. Remember Jesus' example: His mission was to seek and save that which was lost, and his method was not to be served, but to serve, and not just help out, but to give his life - a sacrifice. There's gotta be a cost.
And finally, we've gotta be empowered by the Holy Spirit to do any of the things you committed to do. Otherwise you'll just get human results from human effort. And the way to get that power is through prayer.
I'll be praying for you guys as you live out what you believe.
Now let's get to the Scavenger Hunt!

Has anybody seen Deven's epiglottis?
I've heard of people liking milk, but this is ridiculous. On the lips, Ronny!
We really didn't have to do this, they just wanted to...
Mind if we sing Happy Birthday?
Going shopping, Alan?
Being Helpful at Dollar General...
Chase, if you sing Jesus loves you to a kid, and they cry, does that count?

It's Elvis, and the Shield of Faith!
Gladiators Rule!

Go!
And the winner is ... Alan!
Chase brings in a close second.

Whenever I am afraid, I hold my head erect (with a mouth full of crackers)
And... wait, don't lose your cookies here...
And whistle a happy tune...
Dude, you got it on the camera!
Now Blake heads into Lake Pontchartrain!
Are you sure this water's safe?
