Serving

We just completed week four in our five-week e3 study designed to help students understand God’s purposes for their lives. This week’s lesson, called “Serving in Ministry,” focused on the truth that God’s unique design provides us with the privilege to serve others. My hope is that students will have realized they are gifted to serve and will begin serving others today!

Sometime this week, ask some questions to generate discussion with your teenager about serving others in ministry. Here are some possible questions to ask:
• Share with your teenager how you believe God has gifted you to serve others. What are some ways that you serve others individually?
• As a family, how much do we value the importance of serving? What are some ways that we as a family could serve others in our neighborhood, in our church, and in our community?
• How does serving others in ministry help us grow in our faith?
Carolyn, reminded me to serve today as we walked by a handicapped elderly person with a cart load of groceries and I could have just passed the person by but C. nudged me. Thanks for the reminder.

As always, thanks for the investment of love, time, and prayer you make in your teenager’s life. God will reward your faithful commitment!
