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 4 (2014.09.10)

We are progressing through just a few things that Jesus wants us to "Hashtagged" with in life.  This week we focus on humility. Not just fake humility but the kind that is completely reckless in the world's eyes. Humility purposefully gives priority to the needs of others and we are challenging the students to evaluate their posture and attitude in life.  Is it like Jesus?  If the answer is no, them we have some work to do.

Intentional Interaction 

•  Does placing other people’s needs first mean that you ignore your own needs and responsibilities? Explain your answer.
• How can obedience to God build greater humility in your life? 
• What’s the difference between having childlike faith and being childish?
