Copied from Real World Parents

Take a minute to read Colossians 4:2-6 to prepare your heart and mind to discuss some of the following questions during any available teachable moments that spring up this week.

Talking Points:
*What does it mean to you to be completely committed to something? What are some of the things in your life you’d say your 100 percent devoted to?
Which of those things would you say is the most valuable to you?
*How big of a deal is prayer in your life? Is it just a chore you know you should do—or an essential part of your day that you can’t imagine living without?
When does prayer feel the most valuable or “essential” to you?
*What are 10 things you’d say you’re thankful for today?
What are 3 things we could maybe ask for God’s help with today?
Have you ever thought about praying that more and more people will trust in Jesus and become Christians? Could we ask God for that in our town? In your school? In our church?
*If you were going to regularly pray for 3-4 people in your life to become Christians, who would go on that list? Why do you think those people come to mind?
What would be some good things for us to pray for your youth leaders or for our pastor at church?
*Do you have any Christian friends who act like different people when they’re with unbelievers than with other Christians? Is that a problem?
Should we talk and act “more Christian” or “less Christian” when we’re with unsaved people?
*Do you ever think about the way our family makes God look to people who know we believe in Jesus? How could we do better at that?
*Do you have any projects or jobs in your life that you think have been given to you by God? If so, what?
*How would you define the word “grace”?
