March 10 - High School
What we’re doing this week:
Here’s a fact of life: It’s possible to get older without necessarily growing up. While getting older is automatic, growing up is a choice that we all have to make. During this two-week series, we will explore two ways that we can grow in Christian maturity throughout our High School years.
Jesus’ teenage years are encapsulated by one sentence: Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man (Luke 2:52). What does it look like for us to grow in wisdom? For many, it begins with how we see the authority figures in our lives. Maturity is making the decision to see the adults in our lives as a resource of our growth instead of a nuisance to be tolerated.
Bottom Line: Growing up means getting smaller
Scripture: Acts 18:24-26, Proverbs 15:22, Matthew 18:2-4
Small Group:
Go over questions 1-3 in order, choose whichever additional questions resonate with you or your group and end in pray for each other.
What is something that you feel like you want to grow in during this next season of your life?
Who is someone in your life that is further along in the thing you want to grow in?
How can you lean into that relationship this week?
On a scale of 1-5, (1 not at all / 5 A ton!), how much pressure do you feel to be self-sufficient in this season of your life?
What do you find is your first response when someone with more life experience gives you advice? Explain your answer
I’m annoyed
I’m hesitant to listen
I sort of consider what they are saying
I am grateful for it!
How do you determine whether or not somebody is a good role model for you?
Do you feel like High School students generally respect people older than them? Why or why not?
