Faith Maintenance (Part1)

What does a spiritually healthy person look like? Why do so many Chrisitans seem to be excited about their faith but then they get burned out? These are pretty common questions. Unfortunately we see a lot of Christians that are getting "burned out" on their faith or sometimes giving up altogether. This even happens sometimes shortly after initially trusting in Jesus! The reason why people break down in their faith is the same reason a car cna break down on the road...no maintenance!

In Matthew 6 we see Jesus showing us a big answer to the question, what does a spiritually healthy person look like? What are some areas we as Christians need to maintain to stay healthy in our faith? In this lesson, we talk about giving and praying, two huge areas in a Christian life. We find out what our attitude should be in these areas how we should accomplish these two things in our lives. Make sure you find time to pray and give of yourself this week. Check out the podcast to learn more! Your youth pastor is praying for you :)

2011/02/16 - Temptation

Temptation

When we are drive down the road that follows Christ, there will be opportunities that come that may veer us off course. Temptations come to believers that are meant to keep us from the truth. To keep us from becoming more like Christ. To keep us from proper fellowship with Jesus. Not only should these temptations be expected, but we should prepare to stand against them as well. In this lesson we look at our best example of standing strong: Jesus. When we examine the nature of temptations, and see how He handles them, we realize we not only have a God that we can truly trust and follow, but we also have a Lord that we stand strong in.

Traditions

We all have traditions. We have our traditions with our family. Friday is Daddy Daughter Day at my house because I spend all day Friday with Ella. We have traditions with our friends. My senior buddies and I would go to Perkins every Friday morning before school. We also have traditions in our youth group. We learn about Christ, go on trips, play fun games. A lot of these traditions can be good and can be a healthy way to identify yourself. But some traditions are, well, not-so-good. In this lesson, we look at Jesus when He calls into question some not-so-good traditions that the Pharisees were trying to impose on the disciples, and we look at what He can teach us as we examine some of our own youth group traditions. I've also included the handout that we used. Use it this week in your devotion time. Have a great weekend and we'll see you next Turbo Charged! :)

2011/01/05 - A Group With A Difference

Wednesday, Jan. 5

Group with a Difference

I loved my choir growing up. We had such a good time together. I loved them most because I could be myself, laugh and joke around with people my own age, and I really felt accepted. As teenagers, we all have different groups that identify us and influence us. In this lesson we look at a church youth group and ask the question, What makes FLIGHT different from these other groups? What makes us unique? When we pull back all the dynamics of our group, all of our activities, we find the true difference that is and should ALWAYS be, Jesus.

Temporarily offline

Hey everyone.

If you have been wondering, where are all the new lesson posts? I have the answer: They are recorded and will be up soon! As many of you know, our favorite Youth IT guy Randy has been in China for the past few weeks and will be returning soon. We'll have all the posts up when he gets back. Should only be a week or so left. We'll have the True Happiness series up as well as other lessons we've had.

Thanks for your patience! See you all on Wednesdays :)
