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

September 16th Discussion Questions
  • Just for Fun…
    • Would you swallow a clump of hair from a public pool shower drain for $5,000?
    • What was your favorite children’s book when you were little?
  • Thinking Deeper…
    • Read Matthew 16:13–16 together.
    • If Jesus asked today, “Who do people say that I am?”, what answers do you think you would hear?
    • Why does it matter whether  we have the correct understanding of who Jesus is? Is it enough simply to believe that Jesus was a great moral teacher and a historical figure that should be respected? Discuss.
    • Read Daniel 7:13–14 together.
    • Daniel says that He will receive dominion, glory and an everlasting kingdom. What does that tell us about who this coming person would be?
    • Why does understanding Daniel 7 make Jesus' use of the title “Son of Man” much more significant?
    • What does the word “Christ” actually mean? Why is it important to understand that Christ isn't Jesus' last name? (Leaders: Christ is the Greek word for Messiah or Anointed One. Calling Him Christ makes a claim about His identity.)
    • What's the difference between saying “I believe Jesus was a great man” and saying “I believe Jesus is the Christ”?
    • Why do you think people are often comfortable describing Jesus as a great teacher or good person, but become uncomfortable when Christians say He is the Son of God?
    • When you hear someone call Jesus “Lord,” what have you normally understood that word to mean?
    • Can someone genuinely call Jesus “Lord” while also saying, “I'll decide which of His teachings I'm willing to follow”? Why or why not?
    •  
  • 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!
