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 5 (2014.09.17)

We are progressing through just a few things that Jesus wants us to be "Hashtagged" with in life.  Our topic this week is unity. Ya know more fights are started amongst believers about things like worship style and carper colors than about truly important things like salvation, reaching the lost and our personal growth with Christ.  Even still, the whole time, Christ just sits back thinking, "I want you to be unified".  Our students need to know that we need to be known for our unity, not our division. This week our main focus is to communicate that the church is made of parts all working in unity to accomplish great things.

Intentional Interaction 

• What are some of the issues or topics that most commonly divide Christians of different “labels”?  
• What makes you unique? How do you celebrate your uniqueness
