FlipSide UNPLUGGED will be taking a break for the Summer (June, July, August). Here’s why:

1. To give our incredible volunteers some much needed rest so they’re ready to hit the ground running for the 2010-2011 school year.
2. To take a step back and look at all we’re doing in UNPLGD and see how God would have us make it even better!

Dry your eyes guys! FlipSide LIVE and the 2010 FlipSide Summer Tour will still be in full effect so we can all stay connected throughout the Summer!

The sinful nature wants to do evil, which is just the opposite of what the Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature desires. These two forces are constantly fighting each other, so you are not free to carry out your good intentions.

If you’ve given your life to Christ then you’ve essentially said, “I DECLARE WAR!” We often go through life surprised when temptation comes and we actually fall for it. The bible tells us to “Be aware” that Satan is roaming around like a lion ready to devour us. It’s hard to fight in war that you’re not even aware is happening.

Join us at FlipSide LIVE in May as we discuss what it means to make war on sin in our lives! Invite everyone you know because no one likes to fight alone

FlipSide LIVE / 5.5.10 / 7-9pm / 5301 Sidbury Rd. Castle Hayne, NC

I recently took a trip across the country from Seattle to Wilmington. We took quite a few different routes getting back and for the most part made it to our destination in the time we had planned. Thanks to my amazing iPhone, I simply charted our course and followed the little blue dot for 3000 miles.

If you’ve ever tried to get somewhere without knowing how, then you know how beautiful good directions can be. Few things are as frustrating as wandering around in circles because you have no clue where you’re going. It can be even more frustrating when you’re on the journey of life! It’s hard to get somewhere in life when your not quite sure where you’re trying to get. God never intended for you to wander aimlessly through life just hoping you stumble on the right path. He HAD a plan for you and still HAS a plan for you. Sometimes finding that plan just needs a little adjusting.

Join us at FlipSide LIVE from 7-9pm on April 7 as we get back on the course God charted for you before you were even born. Believe me, it’s an adventurous path worth finding!

The word ‘Radical’ describes someone who causes extreme change in their world. True change doesn’t come from an emotional moment of radical faith but by dying daily to our selfish desires. Our faith can often feel like a roller coaster ride of spiritual highs and lows. A roller coaster doesn’t operate on fuel but rather the momentum that comes from each ‘high.’ Jesus’ journey to the cross, however, was not a quick moment of spiritual emotion but a daily walk of getting away from everything and ‘Fueling up.’ It was a marathon, not a sprint.

True Radical followers of Christ prepare to serve Christ for the long haul and not just in moments of passion.

Join us at FlipSide UNPLUGGED throughout March as we discover what it really means to go the distance with Christ.

Why Baton Rouge?

The Baton Rouge Dream Center is an outreach of Healing Place Church. They are Located in one of the most crime-ridden, underprivileged neighborhoods in town. Through church services, after school programs, discipleship classes, street outreach, grocery give-aways, a free clothing boutique, and more, they hope to be a light in the darkness by sharing Jesus and loving those who have been forgotten and abandoned.

Why FlipSide?

FlipSide has had incredible success working alongside those faithfully serving at The Baton Rouge Dreamcenter for the past two summers. Those who attended last year haven’t stopped asking to go back. I believe we have much to learn about true service and selflessness and the biblical mandate to think of others as greater than ourselves. Last year I watched as our teens worked harder and sacrificed more than I ever imagined.  We look forward to going back this year and getting our hands even dirtier as we continue to build a lasting relationship with the amazing ministries of Healing Place Church.
