THIS WEEK UPDATES
A question that all of us ask at some point is, “what difference can I make?” It’s a key question for each of us to ask as we look at the world around us, and notice the effect that we can personally have upon it. Paul argues in 2 Corinthians 5:20, that the key mission of the believer is to be an ambassador for Christ. Which means that the biggest difference that we can make in this world is to help those around us be reconciled to God.
Tonight is our panel night! During teaching time, we will go through questions that are often asked by high school students about love, relationships, and sexuality. We have prayerfully considered which questions to tackle and want to give our students Biblically-informed wisdom to help them navigate life as a middle school student!
Resources & Tools
Do you not know exactly how to redirect your students or lay down the law during Small Group time? We are here to help! Whether you are in middle or high school, your students may need a reminder that you are their leader and there are rules at Lifeline.
There are many crises a student can go through. As their Lifeline leader, you may be one of the first people to know. It is easy to feel intimidated or scared and you want to make sure you say the right thing and know what to do. That is where we are here to help and support you!
Committing to lead students or leaders is a big deal. You are not only a facilitator of discussion, you are an example to others in how you live your life and follow through on your commitments!
As a leader or coach in Lifeline, our students will be looking to you as a role model in how you live as a follower of Jesus. You have a significant opportunity to help students ground their identity in Christ by how you ground your own identity in Christ– not just on Wednesdays or Sundays, but with your whole life.
The Leader Toolkit is a helpful tool that can help you manage your small group. You’ll be able to click on each student in your group to see more information including photos, birthdate, parent contact information, etc.
