LIONS DEN WORKOUT IS BACK!!

Tues. & Thurs. from 3:30 - 4:30

Parents... Want to know what we talked about @ youth group this week? Here's our discussion questions

October 21st, 2026-  Discussion Questions
  • Just for Fun…
    • Would you rather have no homework/schoolwork ever again or no tests ever again?
    • If you were given a million dollars to start your own business, what type of business would you start?
  • Thinking Deeper…
    • What evidence does Scripture give us that Jesus was genuinely dead when He was taken down from the cross?
    • Why is it so important to the Christian faith that Jesus actually died, rather than simply appearing to be dead?
    • Read Romans 6:23 together. Why was it necessary for Jesus to actually die in order to pay the penalty for our sins?
    • Hundreds of years before Jesus was born, Isaiah prophesied details about the Messiah's death and burial. (Isaiah 53:9) How does the fulfillment of these prophecies strengthen our confidence in Scripture?
    • The Creed says: “Descended into Hell”. After Jesus was buried, where do you think Jesus was and what do you think He was doing on Saturday?  Discuss.
    • Read Luke 23:39-43 together.
    • When Jesus tells the man, “TODAY, you will be with me in paradise,” what does that verse tell us about Jesus location on Saturday?
    • Read John 19:28-30 together.
    • When Jesus declared, "It is finished," what exactly was finished? What does that tell us about whether or not Jesus still had unfinished business in Hell on Saturday?  
    • Read Matthew 27:57-60 together.
    • Joseph of Arimathea was a respected member of the Jewish council, yet he boldly asked Pilate for Jesus' body. What might Joseph have risked by publicly identifying himself with Jesus?
    • What is the difference between Jesus dying as an example of sacrificial love and Jesus dying as a substitute for sinners? Why do we need more than just a good example?
    • Pray for one another.

PARENTS...GET SIGNED UP FOR PUSH NOTIFICATIONS.  We will send you reminders about everything you need to know!!!

- BECOME A STUDENT MINISTRIES LEADER:
We are ALWAYS in need of adult leaders.  The harvest is plentiful and the workers are few! If you've got a heart for kids and a heart for Christ, we would love to give you a place to serve! We need you!
-  BECOME A STUDENT LEADER:
A student leader means being a servant leader - someone who sets an example in word and action. High schoolers, if you are interested in serving, please fill out this application!
- BECOME A STUDENT MINISTRY PARTNER:
We are blessed with a growing youth group and our Student Ministry Partners are simply a group of committed people that want to help out our students whenever possible.
"I can bring snacks", "I can give rides", "I can be a chaperone", "Just let me know what you need and I'll see if I can help!"
What a joy it has been over the last few years getting to know the students here at Creekside.  I am truly humbled to be entrusted with the task of pointing them towards Jesus!  I realize when a church hires a youth pastor, there is a natural tendency to think that they are here to work with the teens.  Whereas that is certainly a part of my role, mom’s & dad’s, I want you to know that I’m also here for YOU!  Parenting is no easy task, and as parents you will absolutely be the number one influence on your children and upon their spiritual formation!  As you seek to point your kids towards Jesus, please know that you aren’t in this alone!  If there is anything at all that I can do to support you as you shepherd your children, my door is always open!
