What's Happenin' @ Collision

Below is a brief summary of what we have been talking about recently.  Most of the time we teach through a series for several weeks at a time that way students that miss can get caught back up quickly, and so we can dissect a topic more fully than just a one night deal. Use the overview and questions for both you and your teen to answer and have a dialog that continues outside the church walls and into your homes.  Use this opportunity to see what God is teaching your student and also allow your student to see what God is teaching/taught you.

Series Overview

The word hashtag has taken over our social world.  Everything from natural disasters to sports events to just silly catch phrases at the end of a status update.  A hashtag groups information based on a descriptor...something that describes the data. The question we are asking of our students is, what message identities you?  What hashtag describes you? #Party kid? #True friend? #Cheater? #Complainer?  You see, there are certain things that every Christ follower should be described as-certain things that should be our #hashtags.  This series will dive into these and expose how a life that uses thee #hashtags is a life best lived in a relationship with Christ.

Week 2 (2014.08.27)

So this week we are really diving into one of the primary attributes of any Christ Follower....love. Our culture/society are lovers of lots of things...But what should the Christ Follower love. If you were to quickly glance through the gospels, you'd see the Son of God primarily concerned with one thing...people. Too often "Christians" are known more by what they "hate" than what they love. What if, as a result of your influence, your teen began to live ad Jesus loved instead of hate the way the world hates. And what if, their world around them was changed forever because of their presence in it. Love, has the power to do just that.

• What are some of the challenges to having our lives "#Hashtagged" with love for God and others? How can we overcome these challenges?

• How do you decide which people you will love and which people you won’t?
