Updates on this week’s Lifeline, resources, and tools for you as you lead your students
If you serve at the Bella Vista campus, view the Wednesdays update!
As we begin a new series walking through the letter of Ephesians, we discover that Paul wrote to a specific group of people in a specific time; and while these people lived 2000 years ago in a whole different part of the world, we can relate to their experience. Students will be reminded that the love of God displayed in Jesus gives them a more secure identity and stable footing than any feelings of being new, experiencing change, and living under pressure.
We are off this week, Sunday October 12 as we will be returning from a weekend retreat with many of our students. We resume next Sunday the 19th with a new teaching series titled Transformed which will look at how God changes us and makes our heart more like his. This is a part of our overall yearly focus to become more like Jesus every day!
These are starting questions to help you guide small group conversations. These questions are created especially for our relationship series so that you can feel confident owning your small group time! This guide also includes terminology and strategies for turning the conversation.
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.
