What a great night! Tonight we welcomed our freshman to Kaio and I must say that I am impressed with them. We challenged our group to live their life in such a way that it draws people to Jesus. In the 12th chapter of John there is a great example of this – 9 “When all the people heard of Jesus’ arrival, they flocked to see him and also to see Lazarus, the... (more...)
I use to love saying “Your daddy is not a window maker” to people that would stand in front of the t.v. when I was trying to watch a show. I can remember family members as well as my own dad saying this to me and my brother. The point was that no one could see the the t.v. for the fact that we were in the way. This same thought came to mind as I read John 12:24... (more...)
John 11:16 – “Then Thomas said to the rest of the disciples, “Let us also go, that we may die with him.” I love the tattoo that Jesse James has on the palm of his hand that reads, “pay up”. I can imagine that a custom bike, car or anything else made by him would cost you a good little penny. So pay up is right. Anyone who seeks his services... (more...)
Jeremiah 1:9 – “Then the Lord reached out and touched my mouth and said; “Look, I have put my words in your mouth!” Wow! And I thought politicians and Emmy award winners had it made when giving speeches. (with their teleprompters and all) They have nothing on Jeremiah – right here in the opening chapter of this major prophets book we see the... (more...)
Are you one of those people who think often of where you are going and how you got to where you are? I know that I am. There has been a verse that I have been returning to time and time again this past year; its 1 Corinthians 11:1 and it says: “And you should imitate me, just as I imitate Christ.”(NLT) Paul is simply saying here; let me navigate you as Christ...

Last night at Kaio we talked about what it means for us to be filled with the Spirit and to live a life filled with the Spirit. Here is what Ephesians says; Ephesians 5:15-20 Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s... (more...)
Last night we jumped into our 3rd installment of “29″. The main point of our challenge was to let your life be completely and fully led by the Holy Spirit. One of the top five significant moments in scripture was when Jesus fulfilled His promise in sending the Holy Spirit to rest upon and in our lives. (Acts 2) We have tried for to long to lead ourselves to... (more...)
The second addition of our series for 29 was amazing! If you missed it, here is a brief synopsis of what we discussed and challenged Kaio to live out: Acts 1:6-8 6 So when the apostles were with Jesus, they kept asking him, “Lord, has the time come for you to free Israel and restore our kingdom?” 7 He replied, “The Father alone has the authority to set those dates...

What a great night at Kaio last night. (2-17-10) God was in the house and it showed! Four salvation’s and a monumental challenge that went out to you our students. We are continuing in the “acts” of Jesus in our world today. In order to do so you have to DREAM. We need you to dream about the Kingdom of God. Remember; do not be afraid to ask questions...

Hey Kaio! If you missed KAIO Bowl ‘10 then you missed an amazing night. We had Tailgating, Bungee run, Field Goal competitions and the most fanatically dressed. I want to thank everyone who helped make this night happen for all of their hard work. We also had the opportunity to challenge the students to be very selective with who they allow to speak into their lives.... (more...)
