This week's post will be short because it's actually an audio recording. This past week, I had the opportunity to speak at Highlands in Cleveland, a small group for teens in the Cleveland area. Just like any small group, there are games and activities, a time of worship, and a message. I was invited by Mrs. April and Mr. Browning to speak on a subject.

Many of you may know that I am a HUGE NASCAR fan! My favorite driver since I started watching has always been Dale Earnhardt Jr. Although he might not be as successful as his dad, he is always a fan favorite.

I love missions so much that I have a segment in Kidz Worship at Gardendale First Baptist Church called “Missionz With Noe”. You may ask, “Why is he so passionate about missions?” The answer is simple…Jesus tells us to go and make disciples of all nations. It was His final words before ascending back to heaven. I’m told that a person’s final words are usually their most important. I believe that is true with Jesus. He did so many amazing things while on earth. How would one know about Him if no one was willing to share what He did for them. He died on the cross and restored a broken relationship with the Father. As a follower of Christ, I need to connect with people, whether it’s my neighbors or someone from across the world, and tell them about
