Lesson Loop 3.31.11

 

This week in our Student Ministry:

THIRD PLACE: Special Worship Night
We had an awesome night just crying out to God in prayer, singing His praise in song and participating in communion together. I really felt as though God was moving and working in the hearts of our students, and all that glory goes to God!
We used the “Lord’s Prayer” as our template, and so we prayed:

“Our Father in Heaven, hallowed be your name…” – praise God because of who He is.

“Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven…” – pray for God to change our world (physically and especially spiritually).

“Give us today our daily bread…” – Prayer Requests and Popcorn Prayer

Personal Prayer
* “Forgive us our debts as we forgive others…”

* “Lead us not into temptation…”

 

LUCID: “Satan, Get Behind Me!”

We focused last night on how Satan attacks us. Sometimes his presence is obvious – in those things that are openly evil – witchcraft, etc…

Far more often though we engage in satanic activity without even realizing the seriousness of it. The Bible uses some strong language to show us that Satan gets the upper-hand when we choose sin over what God has for us. Here are 5 areas that we considered:

1. Love of $$ (1 Tim. 6:9-10)
2. Disobeying Parents (1 Samuel 15:23a)
3. Lust (Proverbs 5:1-5)
4. Gossip & Seeking Attention (1 Timothy 5:11-15)
5. Ignoring  God’s Will (Mark 8:33)

After we considered these sins which give Satan a foothold, we broke into growth groups and talked about which area each student struggled the most with.

I really enjoy having the students get into small groups to apply the lesson, and I think it is something we might do more often.
