College Choices Seminar: Q & A

six14 Recap 10.17

Thanks to everyone who was able to make it to last Saturday’s corporate meeting; I hope you enjoyed our time together as much as I did!

Because we don’t record these meetings (just to keep the set up as simple as possible), I post my notes from the message. Click here to download those notes.

Also, below are the discussion questions and fellowship points from the meeting.  Thank you, parents, for discipling your teens in these ways.  It’s our privilege to support you in any way that we can!

DISCUSS – with your discussion group

1. Let’s go around the circle so that everyone shares. What was most helpful to you from this message?  How was that helpful for you?
2. How should seeing the “character” of God’s word help you?  Are there ways that you could trust God’s word more?  Please explain.
3. How should seeing the “consequence” of God’s word help you?  How does seeing that motivate you to feed on God’s word?  What will be your plan to do so?

APPLY – in fellowship with your parent(s)

• The Encouragement Point (for parents to ask):  As your parent, the areas where I’m most encouraged about your intake of God’s word would be… (be as specific as you can)
• The Application Point (for parents to ask):  For your answer to question #2 above, how can I help?
• The Input Point (for youth to ask):  As my parent, how would you like to see me benefit more from God’s word in my life?
