This week in Power Up, we learned about being humble! It can be easy to think that we are better or smarter than people around us, but when we are humble we will listen to what they have to say!

In Large Group, Rom and Ram had to make their way to a button and press it before being blasted by lasers. Rom and Ram were unsuccessful because they refused to listen to each other. Using the code segments sent from the Game Boss, our tour group was able to unscramble a message and send it to Rom and Ram. They learned I Will Be Humble! After learning this, Rom and Ram helped each other and made it to the next level!

In Small Group, we read a story from 2 Chronicles 26 about a man named Uzziah who became king when he was 16 years old. God made Uzziah very successful as king. King Uzziah decided to go to the temple one day and burn incense as a way of worshipping God. However, only priests were allowed to burn incense in the temple. The high priest told Uzziah that he should leave the temple, but Uzziah knew he was being disobedient and he thought the rules did not apply to him. Then, God caused Uzziah's forehead to break out in a skin disease called leprosy that spread all over his face. God was punishing Uzziah for being prideful. Uzziah had to live in a room far away from everyone else to keep them from getting sick too.

We also learned the next part of our Memory Verse. We will continue adding to this verse throughout the series. Here is what we learned on Sunday:

“Run away from evil things that young people long for.
     (run in place)

Try hard to do what is right.
     (thumbs up)

Have faith, love, and peace.
     (count on fingers 1, 2, 3)

Do these things together with those who call on the Lord”
(point to everyone in the group)

2 Timothy 2:22 (NIrV)

Come back next week to see Rom and Ram take on more challenges in the Sector and learn more about God as we go through the video game!
