"Abnormal: eight" - 08.21.19

Middle & High School Message
As a final wrap-up / review we discussed again what it means to have an eternal perspective.  To drive the point of the series home we briefly walked back through several of the passages from it to recognize the lies that directly oppose living and seeing eternally ...and how naturally we hold to them instead.

"Abnormal: seven" (MS) - 08.14.19

Middle School Message
This week students read through chapters 5 and 6 of the book of Ephesians.  They used it like a personal evaluation quiz comparing their life and spiritual maturity to the instructions laid out for believers in those passages.  All this led up to a few questions for application of their findings:  How “abnormal” are you?  What are your struggles?  Where do you need to grow?

"Abnormal: six" (HS) - 07.24.19

High School Message
This week we took time to discuss the symbolism of the Abnormal theme video.  Then we read from 1 John chapter 2 about how important it is to not love the world's system or what it offers.  We're not to be wrapped up in our feelings or our stuff or plans but to deal with them like they're all passing away.  Finally students took time to ask God what they may be clinging to like this and begin to deal with it.

"Abnormal: five" (HS) - 06.26.19

High School Message
Continuing our trek through some passages in 1 Corinthians that instruct the church on how to live for Christ and NOT like the world we get some specific advice.  The Kingdom of God isn't just about talk but about living by God's power!  And then we get some examples of how that should be transforming our attitudes and how we handle things in this life.
