Contagious Last Night

We had a great time at the beach last night even though the water was a tad bit chilly.  There was volleyball, hot dogs, drinks, chips, hanging out, swimming and I even saw some beach soccer and football.

Our study was about God the Father:

1.  God the Father is your Creator.   Ps 139:13,16

2.  God the Father is your Comforter.   2 Cor. 1:3-4

3.  God the Father is your Challenger.  Rev. 2:4-5

The Parent Pod is growing and that is exciting.  After doing the study with the students I went and hung out in the Pod with the parents and we did the study together and some discussion time.  I look forward to watching the Pod grow into a parent ministry led by parents.

Parent/Teen Discussion:

Rejoice as God's Creation

PS 139:14

>What is one thing you really like about how you were created?

>Do you have any problem accepting  that you've been created in God's image?

Explain

Relax in God's Comfort

Psalm 145:8-9

>What are your worries or concerns right now?

>How might God comfort you in these?

>Do you agree with this statement: "God loves you more than you love yourself."

Run to God's Challenge

Phil. 3:12-13

>In what area do you think God wants to challenge you?

>Can you identify any ways in which you are currently resisting the challenges of God and His Word?

Spend some time praying together.  Pray for your teen to come to realize God as their personal creator, their comforter and to rise to God's challenges in their lives.
