Youth Group starts THIS WEEK!!!
Can't Wait to see you!!
Parents... Want to know what we talked about @ youth group this week? Here's our discussion questions
August 12th Discussion Questions
Just for Fun…
Just for Fun…
- What was your absolute favorite thing you did over the summer?
- What is a food combination that you like but other people think is weird? (Fries dipped in milkshakes, pizza dipped in ranch, peanut butter and pickle sandwiches etc.)
- Read John 14:1-7 together.
- What are some things that cause worry, fear, doubt, and uncertainty? Why do those things have so much power over us?
- Jesus doesn't simply say, “Stop worrying.” What does He tell them to do instead in verse 1?
- Jesus tells the disciples He's preparing a place for them and will bring them “to Myself.” What does that tell you about what Jesus ultimately wants for His followers?
- Instead of giving Thomas directions, Jesus says, “I AM the way.” What's the difference between Jesus showing us a way and Jesus actually being the Way?
- Jesus doesn't say, “Let me explain truth to you” He says, “I AM the truth.” What difference does that make?
- Jesus doesn't say, “I'll help you have a better life.” He says, “I AM the life.” What do you think He means?
- Thomas wanted more information. Jesus pointed Thomas back to who He is instead of a list of details. How can knowing who Jesus is help when we don't understand what Jesus is doing?
- What's one thing you know to be true about Jesus that you can hold onto when there are other things you don't understand?
- In the very next chapter of John, Jesus tells His disciples to “Remain in me” (John 15:4-5). Think back to where we started: worry, fear, doubt, and uncertainty. How could regularly abiding in Christ change the way you respond the next time one of those hits?

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!
