In the beginning, God created a song, a rhythm. Humanity existed in harmony with God, with ourselves and with each other. But then humankind settled for another song--a lesser one--and the rhythm started falling apart. Yet even then, God didn’t walk away, and because of that, we have a way to restore the rhythm with Him, with ourselves and with others.
HEY PARENTS! The first week of the Rhythm series was designed to help students understand that in the beginning, God established a rhythm. They unpacked the story of creation and the harmony that existed between Adam and God, Adam and nature, and Adam and Eve. They entertained the idea that from the start, everything worked together in perfect harmony like a beautiful song. But then Adam and Eve made a choice that destroyed the song and threw the rhythm off. They also looked at God’s response to Adam’s sin, and they saw that God continues to seek relationship with us even after things have fallen apart. Talk with your teen about how he or she sees the brokenness in the rhythm around them. Feel free to share your observations as well.
It may be out of left field. It may not be the way you've ever thought. Consider it.
