I just wanted to send you a quick note to remind you that we’ve started our three-week study on service. This study is amazing, and I know it will help your teenager live out his or her faith in practical ways. It’s coming at a great time as our church and HSM is focusing on missions with the “Compassion Experience” (March 24-27) and the HSM “Love Parker County” Project (April 9). And then we begin our focus to prepare for the Chicago mission trip this summer with our Breaking Free Youth Choir practices beginning and parent info meeting on Chicago (March 26).
This week’s lesson was entitled “Life-Changing Service.” The lesson helped students see that the heart of service is seen in God’s desire to provide for us, His children. Students were challenged to understand that they are called to serve others, and to evaluate their attitudes toward serving.
We looked at the following Scripture passages:
- Psalm 23
- Deuteronomy 15:7-11
- 1 John 3:17-19
- 1 Peter 4:10-11
Next Steps...
During the next week as you have time to talk with your teenager, consider asking the following questions:
- What is something that surprised you during the lesson this past week?
- How does God’s view of people differ from your view of them?
- Did you realize how much God loves you, and loves other people?
- How can I pray for you, particularly as it applies to you relationship with God?
