Let's discover you - 11/24/19
We have been in a series called ‘You Are’ where we have been learning about our relationship to God. Like our current Sunday series ‘We Are’, teaching us about our collective relationship as a church body to Jesus, ‘You Are’ aims at the individual.
The lesson in week 1 taught about the value we each have because God gave us our value. Our ultimate value was sealed when Jesus came and sacrificed Himself on the cross, forever removing our sin, making us brothers and sisters in Christ. In week 2, we put focus on the fact that even though Jesus saves us as individuals, He puts others in our lives to help us out.
This week we did an exercise in self-discovery. Students gave answers to several questions that revealed a little bit about who they are. Day-to-day life for students can feel monotonous answering questions on a number of different subjects, but rarely getting the chance to say “this is me”. Not only that but how often do students get the chance to better understand themselves, start to identify their gifts, and then start using their gifts to serve Jesus?
The apostles Paul and Peter both speak of gifts that we are given. Those gifts are revealed to us in time and are for the mission God has called us to. When you give your “Yes” to Jesus, your mission begins. How Jesus will use you for this mission will look different for many, but we are all called to be on that mission.
Using the results from each student, an individual “mission plan” will be created for every student to help them grow into the mission they are on.
