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.

This Week at Collision

Series Overview

Kairos is about time. Not the tick-tock kind of time we are used to living in. Kairos is the beautiful kind
of time where God breaks in and changes everything. These are moments when something special happens.
They are moments that interrupt our status quo. They are moments when the trajectory of our journeys
change forever.
 
When God breaks in, we must take the change He creates — whatever it may be. We must accept both
the work of Christ and the way of Christ. We must trust in what God is doing instead of trying to do it
ourselves. And then we must step out in faith and believe that God’s goodness will come in time.
 
In this series, we will set aside tick-tock time to engage God intentionally and expect him to break into our lives in timeless ways. We’ll be inspired and disturbed. We’ll be encouraged and challenged.

We’ll be loved and changed. The moment is upon us. Don’t you think it’s about time?

Week 1 (2014-11-5)

Tonight we are challenging our teens to stop in this Kairos and evaluate everything by comparing it to the ONLY thing....that's Jesus.  WE are looking at a passage from John 6:25-69 where the crowd is shocked by what Jesus tells them.  Essentially, he informs them that he is not a vending machine; meaning he' not here to give us what we want, when we want it.  One of the first steps of letting God use these Kairos moments is recognizing that he is all that we need.

Intentional Interaction

What does it look like to choose God over desires?

Do you think anyone has successfully received both (God as their only need and their desires)?

What desire do you currently hold that competes with God?
