WEDNESDAY, 11/20-  YOUTH GROUP @ CHURCH!!!

We are scheduled to have "Family Dinner" together tonight.  Instead of meeting at the Sullivan's this week WE WILL ALL PLAN ON MEETING TOGETHER AT THE CHURCH.
THE MAIN IDEA FROM OUR DISCUSSION ON WEDNESDAY (11/20)
  • Tonight we will be looking at the Parable of the Wedding Banquet in Matthew 22:1-14.  We will be discussing what the 'Wedding Clothes' were in vs. 11 & 12 & what it means to be 'Clothed in Righteousness'.
  • Discussion Questions:
    • Read Isaiah 61:10 together.
      • Isaiah 61:10- “10 I will greatly rejoice in the Lord;
         my soul shall exult in my God,
        for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation;
         he has covered me with the robe of righteousness,
        as a bridegroom decks himself like a priest with a beautiful headdress,
         and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
  •  
    • What does it mean to be clothed in garments of salvation?
    • What does it mean to be covered with the robe of righteousness?

    • Read Ephesians 4:22-24 together.
      • Ephesians 4:22-24- “ 22 to put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, 23 and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, 24 and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.”

    • What are we supposed to put off?  What does that mean?
    • What does it mean to “put on the new self?”
    • Read Matthew 5:20 together.
      • Matthew 5:20- “20 For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven"

    • How is this possible?

It has been such a joy beginning the process of getting to know your students here at Creekside and I am humbled to be entrusted with the task of pointing them towards Jesus.  I realize when a church hires a new 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!
