FOCUS – I AM GROWING
SERIES: GOD IS THE WAY – I AM RUNNING THE RACE
This brief 3-week series teaches on Christ as the beginning of our abiding pursuit. Everyone is following a certain path of life, everyone’s life is bearing some kind of fruit, and everyone is building their life on a foundation. This series leads students to discern if their lives are aligned with how Scripture describes the life of a Jesus follower.
Every student should know that:
- God is the only way to life, hope, and peace.
- Everyone is on the path leading to life or the path leading to death.
- The path to life is hard and few find it, while the path to death is easy and many are on it.
Every student should strive to:
- Use the workouts consistently as a tool to help you study God’s Word.
- Start using the ACTS model of daily prayer.
- Find someone who can consistently disciple you and help you to run the race of life for God’s glory.
Every student should feel:
- Fearful about the possibility of being on the road that leads to death.
- Hopeful in the reality that God has made the path of life accessible through Jesus.
- Encouraged that God’s Word, people, and Spirit can help us run the race well.
Every student should ask God to:
- Give them a desire to pursue the path of life and reject the path of death.
- Help them to take the next step in obediently following Him this week.
