THE MAIN IDEA FROM OUR DISCUSSION ON WEDNESDAY (5/8)
  • **MAIN IDEA** Tonight we will be looking at the fact that Jesus referred to himself as “The Truth”.  Scripture didn’t just say he was honest and told the truth but instead that he IS the Truth!  We live in a culture that doesn’t believe in abject truth but instead teaches the individual to determine truth for themselves.  What’s true for you might not be true for me!  “Find your truth.”  “Live your truth”.  This leads us into moral relativity and situational ethics.  Truth is up for debate.  Right and wrong can be determined by the individual dependent upon the situation.  This is NOT what Jesus taught.  Truth is not something that changes dependent upon circumstances.  True is true no matter the circumstances!  You can count on that!  You can build your life on that!  Jesus is the cornerstone.  He is that plum line that keeps everything else strait!  Jesus is THE way, THE truth, & THE life!       (John 18:37-38)
  • Discussion Question:
  • Do you have any injuries you obtained in a really stupid way?
  • Is ketchup a “smoothie”?  Discuss
  • Is a hot dog a sandwich? Discuss
  • Did anything stand out to you about tonight’s talk?
  • Can you think of any examples of how “Truth” is up for debate?
  • Have you seen any examples of “Situational Ethics”
  • If you were lost in a vast remote wilderness, explain how having a map and a compass would change things. Why is it so important to be able to identify true north?
  • Read John 14:6- How is Jesus like a compass for our lives?
  • Pray

It has been such a joy beginning the process of getting to know your students here at Creekside and I am humbled to be entrusted with the task of pointing them towards Jesus.  I realize when a church hires a new youth pastor, there is a natural tendency to think that they are here to work with the teens.  Whereas that is certainly a part of my role, mom’s & dad’s, I want you to know that I’m also here for YOU!  Parenting is no easy task, and as parents you will absolutely be the number one influence on your children and upon their spiritual formation!  As you seek to point your kids towards Jesus, please know that you aren’t in this alone!  If there is anything at all that I can do to support you as you shepherd your children, my door is always open!
