High School Youth Group
For the week of April 19th, 2015
This Week's Topic
"Instruction Manual: Keeping Faith"
Theme Verse
"Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity. Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to preaching and to teaching. Do not neglect your gift, which was given you through prophecy when the body of elders laid their hands on you.."
1 Timothy 4:12-14
This week we will be in our high school life groups as we break down 1 Timothy 4 together. We will discuss how Paul encourages Timothy not to let others look down on him even though he is young. Instead, Paul encourages Timothy to be a model of faith to those around him. I pray that your teen will walk away from Sunday night and have some practical ways they believe God is calling them to impact their community and family.
Take advantage of our weekly family conversations. In fact, studies show that if your family talks about faith in the home, it is more likely that your teen will keep their faith once they graduate from high school. You can uses these short reflections and questions to talk about faith on a walk, in the car on the way to practice or school, or at the dinner table. I pray that your student and family will discover how God can shape your spiritual journeys together.
Day 1
Scripture: 1 Timothy 4:1-2
Scripture: 1 Timothy 4:8-11
Scripture: 1 Timothy 1:12-16
