What's Happenin' @ Collision

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 3 (2014.09.03)

Last week was a great start to the "meat" of the matter by starting off with Love.  This week the content continues with a completely counter-cultural message on servant-hood or service.  Let's face it, our world is me first, what can I get for myself, have it your way kind of place.  If Christ Followers will ever make a difference in this world, one of our hashtags HAS to be service.  Use this opportunity, parents, to chat with your teens about how they can best serve others in all the environments they find themselves.

Intentional Interaction 

• What are some of the challenges to having our lives "Hashtagged" with service? How can we overcome these challenges?
• Jesus said anyone who wants to become a leader must be a servant. What are some of the ways this statement challenges our ordinary, human, natural thinking on leadership and service?
• Why is it important to have the right attitude when serving? Is it possible to do the act of serving without having the heart of a servant? How do you think Jesus views a person who serves with the wrong attitude?
