FLOOD TEACHING SERIES
May 9, 2012
We are beginning a new teaching series in The Flood titled “How to Persevere”. During this series we will be looking at what it takes to persevere in your Christian growth. It seems for most people, you are either growing or falling, and that there really is no such thing as coasting when it comes to your Christian faith. This series hopes to equip our students with the tools it takes to persevere in your growth closer to Christ!
Questions to ask at home:
1) What way to persevere did you learn about tonight?
2) What one small group question or discussion stood out to you tonight? Why?
3) How can I help you persevere in your Christian growth as a parent?
Not a Fan
April 11, 2012
Are you a fan or a follower of Jesus? We will be asking some tough questions, studying some of Jesus tougher words, and taking a look at what it means to be a follower of Jesus. Grace is free, but the cross is costly, this is the main principle we will be looking at. This series will be taught in both Modified and The Flood.
Questions for home:
1) What was tonight’s talk about?
3) What can you do this week to move closer in your walk as you follow Jesus?
4) How can we as a family encourage you in this?

NEW TEACHING SERIES
March 21, 2012
Chad’s youth ministry intern, Josh Strickler, will be guest teaching this next series for our students called “Jesus Who?” on the person of Jesus. This series will answer many of the questions our students wrestle with concerning Jesus’ life while here on Earth and how His teachings impact their lives today. This series will be taught in both The Flood and Modified, but given in an age-relevant manner for each group.
Questions to ask at home:
1) What did you learn about Jesus tonight?
2) What was your favorite small group question asked tonight about this topic?
3) How can you live a life that looks more like that of Jesus based on tonight’s talk?
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?
