Stretch

On opening night of our Middle School Ministry, we played a game that involved balloons. In preparation for the game, each student had to blow up his or her balloon. I didn't anticipate how difficult this task would be. Many of those kids simply did not have enough wind to blow up the balloon. The leaders walked around the room saying: "Stretch the balloon! If you want to get results, you have to stretch it!" You and I are, in many ways, like a balloon. God wants to stretch us so that we can be part of his Kingdom work. This Sunday, we dove into the last portion of Acts 9. And, we're going to see how God stretched Peter to accomplish great things for the Kingdom of God!
