Session Four: Big Give (May 6)

God grows your faith through spiritual disciplines. That’s probably not news for you. Praying and being generous are just things that Christian do. But there’s more than just doing an action because it’s the right thing to do. In fact, in Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, He tells us that not only is our heart tied to how we pray and our generosity, but also the growth of our faith. 

Parents, think about this question for yourselves and talk about it with your teenager: How can you leverage your time this week so that you spend more time with God? What is one way you can be generous this week?

It may be out of left field. It may not be the way you've ever thought. Consider it.

Session Three: Big Team (April 29)

This is what we are talking about in Sunday School this week!

Who has had the most influence in your life? Your mom? Your dad? A coach? A camp counselor? There are all kinds of people that play a part in our lives, in our stories. And some of these people have played a part in how you see God. In fact, God has used some of those relationships to grow your faith. We call these relationships providential because they are about having the right people in your life at just the right time. 

Parents ask your teen these questions this week in preparation for Sunday School: Who are the people in your life who have had a direct impact on your relationship with God? In what way did these people influence, guide or encourage you?  

It may be out of left field. It may not be the way you've ever thought. Consider it.

Session Two: Big Life (April 22)

You can know a lot. Maybe you know the stats of every football player in the NFL. Maybe you know the cheat codes to hundreds of games. Maybe you know every Scripture in the New Testament. But unless you do something with what you know, then what you know isn’t enough. Especially when it comes to our faith. God’s truth was meant to be put into action. It was meant to affect our lives, our relationships. And when we begin to live out the truths we know, something happens to us our faith. It begins to grow. 

Parents, talk with your kids this week about this question in preparation for Sunday School : What is one truth that you know from the Bible that you can commit to live out this week? Follow up with each other to see how that’s going. 

It may be out of left field. It may not be the way you've ever thought. Consider it.

Grow Up- Session One: Big Faith (April 15)

This week we begin a new series in our Sunday School called "Grow Up". It's purpose is to turn our teen's attention to growth in their spiritual walk rather than just their physical growth and "maturity".

Here's a summary of week one:

Your faith in God matters to God. In fact, God is most honored through your living, active, death-defying, out-of-the-box faith. That being the case, He’s committed to growing it. Big. Imagine how differently you would respond to difficulties, temptations, and even good things if you knew with certainty that God was in all of it and was planning to leverage it for good. But in order for all of that to happen, there’s one thing it all hinges on—your trust. 

Parents, talk work this question into conversation this week with your teenager: What area of your life are you most reluctant to trust God? Why?
