October 8 - High School

Tonight is One on one night, which is an opportunity for HS students to have a quick one on one conversation with their small group leader. This will help the small group leader hear about how they are doing, where they are at in life and in faith, and how we as a ministry can help them grow! While leaders are meeting with their students, the other students will have an opportunity to connect with other HS students before/after their one on one time.

As we work through the New Testament and read about the early Jesus followers, we are going to learn about some of the tensions between the Jewish Jesus followers and the Gentiles who were interested in following Jesus. Through a vision about unclean animals, God confronts Peter’s favoritism and tells him to welcome Cornelius (a Gentile) into the family of God. As we walk through the story, some students will be challenged to invite people into God’s family, while others will be reminded that if they have felt counted out by others, God still welcomes them to Himself!

During this teaching, we will explore what God’s people did to pay for their wrong throughout the Old Testament, what Jesus did in paying the price for our sins, and what we can do to respond to Jesus’ death on our behalf.

This week is a discussion night! This is time set aside to open our Bible, engage in conversation, and grow closer to Jesus, not only as listeners, but as participants! In our conversation about the fruits of the spirit, students will discuss two “weeds” that could choke our growth towards being who God has called us to be: Legalism and Sinful Nature. In talking about both of these extremes, we will remember that both need the truth of the Gospel.

As we continue our series about the story of God, we will explore how Adam and Eve were deceived into disobeying God and students will be reminded that we have an enemy who wants to disrupt our pursuit of God. The good news is that God had a plan to move toward the brokenness – He still moves towards the brokenness today.

You can know something with your brain without continuously taking the time to get to know it. It’s the same with the Holy Spirit; while our students might kind of, sort of, understand who the Holy Spirit is, we believe that we are called to continuously get to know Him. During this series, we will get to know who He is and explore what it looks like to spend time with Him.
