H.A.B.I.T.S (Hang Time with God)

This week we started a new series that can help teenagers develop “HABITS” for personal spiritual growth. Each week, we focus on a different letter from the acronym HABITS. Our focus this time was “H,” which stands for “Hang Out With God.”

In Psalm 1, the psalmist contrasts the way of the wicked with the way of the righteous. The wicked person progressively falls into deeper and deeper sin, while the righteous one enjoys a blessed life. The righteous person is like a tree planted by a stream of water that doesn’t wither and produces fruit. Fruit is the result or byproduct of reading, meditating, and applying God’s truths to our lives.

We believe in the value of parents and teenagers having conversations about spiritual topics. So each week I’ll be sending you some questions that can help generate healthy dialogue with your student. Here are some questions based on our small group meeting this week:
• What are some examples of spiritual fruit that you have seen in your life?
• Have you ever felt like you were “walking,” “standing,” or “sitting” with people who were leading you away from God’s path for your life? What did you do to overcome it?
• What did you learn from meditating on God’s Word this week?

I believe this will be an awesome series that will help your teenager get closer to God. Have a great day!

We also had Pastor Paul and his wife, Suzanne join the youth room for the hour. Thanks for your interest in CCYouth Pastor Paul.
