Here is an overview
of what we’re talking about. Listed below the summary is a “parent cue” to help
you dialog with your child about the session. The question is intended not just
to be asked by you, but to be responded to by BOTH of you. Use this opportunity to find out what God is teaching
your child, and allow your child to see what God is teaching you as well.
NOT THAT INTO
YOU:
Series Overview
Every one of us has
experienced it at some point. At one time, we were really into a
relationship—whether that’s a friendship or a dating relationship—and now,
well, not so much. We’re just not that into it anymore. So we walk away or we
let the relationship die. But what happens when that relationship you’re not
that into anymore is the one you have with God? You were really into Him at one
point. You were feeling connected, directed, close. Now it feels like nothing. How
do you deal with it?
Session One: The Breakup? (June 6, 2012)
There is a natural ebb and flow to our relationships, isn’t there? There are times when we feel really close to someone, and times when we don’t. The reasons vary, but there are times when we’re just not feeling that into a relationship. It’s true of our friendships and other relationships, but what happens when it happens in our relationship with God? And when it does, why is it so difficult to admit it?
Session One Parent Cue: Describe a time when you felt really close to God. Now, describe a time when you felt really distant from Him.
Session Two: Fight for Me (June 13, 2012)
When you’re not that
into a relationship, you have a choice—to stay or to go. God has made it very
clear in the Bible that He’s not going anywhere. He’s in. But we’re the ones
who struggle with the choice, and that struggle sometimes involves fighting our
own feelings and perceptions. It’s a fight that we have to be willing to take
on, and a decision each of us has to make. And while it may feel like it, it’s
not one-sided, God isn’t going anywhere. So are you going to fight your own
tendencies to pull away? Are you going to fight for your relationship with God?
Session Two Parent Cue: Have you ever been tempted to walk
away from God? What made you come back to Him . . . or walk away?
