Hello! We just wrapped up the second of four lessons on what Jesus had to say about our stuff. This week, the lesson was titled “Follow Me, But Leave Your Stuff.” In this lesson, we helped students learn that if our love for our stuff comes between our devotion to God, we’re doing it all wrong, and we challenged them to honestly evaluate whether or not their love for their stuff competes with their devotion to Christ.
We looked at the following Scripture passage:
- Mark 10:17-27
Next Steps...
During the next week as you have time to talk with your teenager, remember that one way that will help him or her to understand and apply what he or she has learned is to explain it to someone else. Use the following questions to guide your conversation:
- Why was the story of the rich young ruler a sad story?
- How did this lesson make you feel? Did you realize that you had some attitudes about your stuff that may be coming in between you following Christ? Or do you think you’re OK in this area of your life?
- Is anything in your life coming between you and following Christ? If Jesus was talking to you or me instead of the rich young man, what would He tell us to give up, I wonder?
