Get Jack Out of the Box

// January 20th, 2010 // No Comments » // Adrenaline, Ministry

There is something strangely fascinating and creepy about a jack in the box. I don’t know who invented the thing, but it’s sheer brilliance in its ability to capture and frighten at the same time. Anticipation builds as the crank is turned and the music plays. We know what’s going to happen, yet we continue to turn the crank, knowing we’re about to jump out of our skin. The interesting thing about it is that Jack was never intended to live inside the box. It’s purpose is not fulfilled until Jack comes out of the box. What Jack was intended for is fully realized when he pops out of his cage.

The World’s Greatest Cheap Shot

// January 13th, 2010 // No Comments » // Adrenaline, Ministry

Job was a man that was the epitome of a follower of God. He did everything above and beyond in his devotion to his God. Because of that, God totally blessed him with wealth, possessions, fame, prestige, etc. He literally had it all together. But then he was struck by a cheap shot.

In a single day, he lost everything God had ever given him. His possessions, wealth, and even family except his wife. He didn’t do anything wrong. He was more godly than anyone else mentioned in the Bible. he offered sacrifices to God for himself and every member of his family DAILY just in case they MIGHT HAVE SINNED.

Rewind 2009

// January 4th, 2010 // No Comments » // Adrenaline, Ministry

As we are now fully into 2010 (pronounced twenty-ten), I want to take a moment and thank everyone who made 2009 an AMAZING year for Adrenaline.

  • To our adult leaders, you are incredible! Much of our C9 Groups could not be done without you pouring your hearts into these students! All of the time you take away from family and personal sacrifice for these students means to much! Thank you!
  • To our student leaders, you work so hard every week to make Adrenaline one pretty awesome place. Adrenaline wouldn’t be what it is without some great student leaders. Thank you!
  • To our students, we wouldn’t even be in existence if it weren’t for you. This last year has been an amazing year with all of you. Seeing God work in you has been our greatest joy this year.
  • To Chico First Assembly, thank you for letting us be an oasis for students in Chico. Without a vision to reach young people, none of what has happened would have been possible. Thank you for believing in us and in these students.

Looking ahead to twenty-ten,
Pastor Tony Mazon

P.S. What was your favorite moments of 2009? Leave it in the comments!

Christmas can [still] change the world

// November 25th, 2009 // 2 Comments » // All

Here we are again. The day before Thanksgiving and two days before the biggest shopping day of the year. Here are some of my thoughts.

It’s estimated that Americans spend $450 billion on Christmas every year.* And for what? For a gift that he/she MAY like? How long are they actually going to use that? How long until it’s being sold at a garage sale, given to a church or homeless shelter, or worse, thrown away? My wife and I have decided that this year, we are going to go minimal on the consumer type gifts this year, and instead try to do something a little more helpful to those in need.
