FOCUS – I AM PART OF A FAMILY
SERIES: GOD IS FATHER – I AM ADOPTED
This series gives a theology of family and adoption. It discusses the importance of seeing, knowing, and relating to God as Father, and it looks at the reality that when we become Jesus followers, we are adopted into God’s family. We are not just individuals, but we are sons and daughters and brothers and sisters. This series will help students grow in their understanding of gospel adoption.
Every student should know that:
- Family exists for God.
- Their heart was bought with a price.
- God is building His family through adoption.
Every student should strive to:
- Memorize Romans 8.
- Do one new thing each week to honor their parents or siblings.
- Find one new way to love and serve their church family.
Every student should feel:
- Broken over the ways that sin has fractured their family and the family of God.
- Hope that one day, their adoption as sons and daughters of God will be fully realized.
Every student should want:
- To glorify God in their families.
- To see their family, and the church family, as gifts from God.
- To share the truth that Jesus made our adoption possible with someone.
