HIGH SCHOOL TEACHING SERIES
February 21, 2012
We have started a 3 week teaching series with the somewhat intimidating title of “Curse God and Die”. I feel like this should be followed by a lightning bolt and thunder crash every time I say it! This title actually comes from the “advice” that Job’s wife gave him during his testing. This study will be a study of the Biblical book of Job and broken down to the following emphasis:
Week 1 – Don’t give up on God
Week 2 – Don’t give up on people
Week 3 – Don’t give up on yourself (in your faith journey)
Some questions to ask at home:
1) What did you learn from the story of Job week?
2) What one thing challenged or stuck out to you this week?
3) Are there any trials or tests you feel you are going through this week that we as a family can help you with?
New Flood series “WHY?”
January 19, 2012
We have started a new series in The Flood we are calling “WHY?”. This series will be looking at the “why questions” of the Christian faith like why we pray, why we read the Bible, why we choose purity and more. I am excited to see the impact this series has on our students as most of these questions have come from them!
Some questions to ask at home:
1) Which “why question” did you study this week?
2) What was the answer given? How do you feel about this answer?
3) What was your favorite discussion from small group this week?
NEW IMAGINE SERIES STARTS THIS WEEK!
September 6, 2011
We will be starting our new Imagine series this next week in both Modified and The Flood! I can’t wait to teach through this series on what our lives could look like if we could imagine them as being Christ-centered.
IMAGINE TEACHING SERIES
August 29, 2011
This fall both The Flood and Modified will be teaching through a series along with the entire church we are calling “Imagine”. Each week the Middle School and High School groups will be studying the same Scripture and Biblical point that the church as a whole will be studying on Sunday morning, just altered to directly communicate with them in an appropriate way for your student in their unique place in life. This series will take a look at what we can imagine our lives to be like if Christ was at the center. We are going to imagine a Christ-centered life at school, within the family, among friends, in the area of money and contentment, and every aspect of a person’s life.
The Flood has started a new teaching series titled “The Narrow Path”. We will be looking at Biblical characters who chose to take the narrow path, to do the right thing, to do the hard thing… even though doing the opposite would have been easier.
Questions to ask at home:
1) What Bible story was taught tonight?
2) What “narrow path” were you challenged to take?
3) What was your favorite part of this weeks Flood?
NEW FLOOD TEACHING SERIES!
June 6, 2011
We are starting a new teaching series titled “Counterfeit”. This series will look at the things in life that we strive for to find our identity and happiness other than in Christ, and how ultimately, they leave us empty.
Some questions for home:
1) What type of counterfeit happiness did you study tonight?
2) Do you think this is an area you tend to find yourself finding your identity in?
3) What can you do this week to focus more on finding who you are in Christ?
NEW MODIFIED TEACHING SERIES
May 2, 2011
We will be teaching through a series called Am I Happy? this month. The goal of this series is to take a look at the things we strive for to make us happy, but really leave us feeling unfulfilled in light of the happiness that Scripture describes. This series is based on the teaching of Sean McDowell.
Questions to ask at home:
1) What did the students interviewed in the video talk about this week?
2) What was your favorite question asked at small group? Why?
NEW MODIFIED TEACHING SERIES
March 21, 2011
Our high school students are currently going through a series we are calling “The Three Hardest Words”. This series is based on the teaching of Leonard Sweet. The idea is that the three hardest words in the human language to get right are “I”, and “love” and “you”. Our goal is that our students will better understand these three words and what it means to live out love in this world.
Questions for follow-up at home:
1) What did you study tonight?
2) How were you able to go deeper in your small group? Which small group question this week really challenged you or made you think?
3) Do you feel you are living the Biblical truths taught this week in your daily life? How can I help you to better live them out?
NEW FLOOD TEACHING SERIES: SPIRITUAL HABITS
February 9, 2011
For the next several weeks we will be taking a look at the spiritual disciplines of the Christian faith in a series we are calling, “Spiritual Habits”. Our goal for this series is to examine the habits that we can implement into our lives that will help us more closely connect with and follow Christ with our lives.
Follow-up questions for parents to ask:
1) Which spiritual habit did you study tonight?
2) Is this a habit that you think could benefit your spiritual journey?
3) What steps are you willing to take to make this a regular habit that you practice in your life?
4) How can we as a family support you in this habit?
“MOMENTUM” – New Flood Teaching Series
January 26, 2011
We are excited about our newest middle school teaching series. Each week we are going to look at ways we can keep our spiritual momentum far into the new year as we learn how to love God and love others more!
Questions to ask at home:
1) What are you doing to build momentum in the way you are loving God?
2) What are you doing to build momentum in the ways you are loving the people around you?
3) Who is someone you can invite to The Flood this week?
