Parents... Want to know what we talked about @ youth group this week? Here's our discussion questions
August 26th Discussion Questions
- Just for Fun…
- What is your favorite “Dad Joke?”
- What is your most cringe sound? Like fingernails on a chalkboard, this sound drives you crazy.
- Thinking Deeper…
- When you hear the words “total freedom,” what comes to mind? What does it mean to actually be free?
- If you can’t control your cravings, are you really free even if you are allowed to have as much as you want?
- Can you think of something that feels like freedom at first but can eventually control you?
- Read 2 Peter 2:19 together.
- Peter says, “People are enslaved to whatever defeats them.” What do you think that means?
- What is the difference between being free to do something and being free from something?
- Jesus says, “Deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow me.” (Matthew 16:24) How is that almost the exact opposite of our culture's message of “Do whatever makes you happy”?
- Jesus promises abundant life, (John 10:10) but He also says the road will be difficult. How can both statements be true?
- What's the difference between an easy life and an abundant life? Can something be difficult and still be incredibly good?
- Read John 8:31-32 together.
- ABIDE: Jesus said, “If you continue [abide] in my word…” What do you think it actually looks like to abide in Jesus' Word rather than simply hear it occasionally?
- FIND TRUTH: Jesus says, “You will know the truth.” How does knowing God's Word help us recognize what's true and what's counterfeit?
- LIVE FREE: Jesus says, “The truth will set you free.” What kinds of things can knowing and following Jesus actually free us from?
- Pray for one another.
- Pray for one another.

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!
