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

September 9th Discussion Questions
  • Just for Fun…
    • Lazy day in the Mat-Su Valley.  The weather is perfect.  You have no responsibilities and nothing planned. Unfortunately, you do not have an unlimited budget, this is real life… The day is yours to plan.  What does your perfect day look like if you’re in charge?
    • Steak is for dinner.  What is your perfect side dish?
  • Thinking Deeper…
    • “God didn't come from somewhere. Somewhere came from God.” What does that statement tell us about how different God is from everything else that exists?
    • What is the difference between the way humans “create” something and the way God created the universe?
    • We divided all of reality into only two categories: CREATOR and CREATED. Why is that distinction important? (Leaders: It establishes God’s ownership and authority over creation)
    • Read Psalm 24:1 together:
    • If God created everything, why does it make sense to say that everything belongs to Him?
    • We talked about five things that belong to God: my life, body, possessions, abilities, and time. Which of those is easiest for you to think of as belonging to God? Which is hardest? Why?
    • How might someone live differently if they truly believed, “My time belongs to God”? 
    • What about your abilities and talents? If those belong to God too, how should that affect what you do with the things you're good at?
    • What is the difference between being created BY God—and being created FOR God? 
    • Challenge Question: If you really believed both of tonight's big ideas—“Everything I am belongs to God” and “God created me for a purpose”—what is one thing that might change about the way you live this week?
    •  
  • 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!
