Another year of senior high youth group is drawing to a close. This past semester we've been going through the Vintage Jesus series and it's been really good: a lot of basic knowledge, but several points for even the more mature believer to get his or her teeth into. Some of the lessons sparked quite a bit of discussion and some really were motivating.
Tonight, for example, was about Jesus' return (I know, ironic, right?) and what that means for followers of Jesus and non-believers. The part that was most motivating was the thought that God has laid out plans for all of us, if we wish to follow Him. They are good plans and can lead to rewards in heaven (when we get there). Before dinner, Chris threw out the idea of going down to help with the cleanup in Missouri. The teens had several excuses about why they wouldn't be able to go. After the lesson (which is after dinner), one of the teens piped up that he'd really like to go help the tornado victims.
Very cool.
