April 14 - High School
What we’re doing this week:
The Bible is full of valuable wisdom on love, relationships, and sexuality. The Bible is also full of real stories of broken people turning their backs on the very wisdom that we are called to live by. During this series, we are going to take an honest look at some of the poor choices made by people in the Bible in an effort to stay away from the same mistakes.
King Solomon is noted as being the wealthiest and wisest king in all of history. He wrote hundreds of wise sayings that we find in our Bible, he enjoyed all of the luxuries one would ever want, and he made some catastrophic mistakes in his relationships by taking 700 wives and 300 concubines. Beyond the astounding number of women in his life, we will learn that where Solomon went wrong was allowing the culture around him to dictate his relationship decisions more than the God that he had promised to serve. Examining King Solomon’s failures will cause each of us to ask ourselves an important question: Are we fully committed to the ways of God?
Bottom Line: Fully pursue God and devote yourself to him
Scripture: 1 Kings 10:23-11:13, Romans 12:2
Things to know:
-
We are encouraging our students to bring a physical bible to Lifeline this year! We’re going to be more intentional about opening it up and reading for ourselves as we walk through a teaching. If you our your student need assistance getting a bible, don’t hesitate to talk with our staff!
-
We have launched a new Grow resource page to help students take practical next steps in areas of their faith. Some are more devotional in nature while others are meant to be a bit more information to help grow their understanding. A student can walk through these alone or it could be something you go through with them. The current topics we have are all available here on our Grow page.
