Ministry: Youth Next Gen What (Topic): Bible Study/Discipleship Lifestage (Age Groups): Ages 12-18 Gender: Co-ed / Mixed Childcare: No
Description: In this small group for youth, we will ll explore the theme of wavering between two opinions, inspired by the scripture in 1 Kings 18:21 where Elijah challenges the people of Israel to choose between God and Baal. This study will delve into the struggle of making decisions amidst conflicting influences, doubts, and pressures.
Through interactive discussions, group activities, and personal reflections, participants will:
1. Explore Biblical Stories: We will examine characters like Elijah, Peter, and Thomas, who faced moments of wavering faith. With the help of Holy Spirit, by delving into their stories, we will uncover valuable insights into overcoming doubt and uncertainty.
2. Identify Modern Dilemmas: Youth will have the opportunity to share their own experiences of grappling with conflicting opinions, beliefs, and choices in their daily lives. Through open dialogue, we will acknowledge the challenges they face in maintaining a steadfast faith amidst cultural influence, societal pressures, and personal struggles.
3. Discover Principles of Faith: Drawing from scripture, we will uncover principles for building and sustaining unwavering faith. Through guided study of passages like James 1:6-8 and Hebrews 11:1, youth will learn practical steps for strengthening their resolve and trust in God's guidance.
4. Prayer and Support: The small group will create a safe space for youth to express their uncertainties and seek support from their peers and leaders. Through prayer and encouragement, participants will be empowered to confront their doubts and make confident decisions rooted in faith.
5. Commitment and Action: Youth will be challenged to make a commitment to stand firm in their faith, even when faced with opposition or uncertainty. Through goal-setting and accountability, they will be equipped to apply the lessons learned in the study to their everyday lives.
By the end of this Small Group/Bible study, participants will have a deeper understanding of the complexities of wavering faith and the tools needed to cultivate unwavering trust in God amidst life's uncertainties.

Description: A small group that meets weekly to discuss Van Moody's book, The i-Factor. In this book, "Moody identifies three dynamics essential to winning the battle of the I-factor: identity, significance, and perspective. When you understand your identity you know who you are, setting your foundation for everything. When you understand your significance, you see the purpose and the greatness you were created for. And when you understand perspective, you can view the problems you face as stepping-stones to greatness rather than as stumbling blocks. Properly understand these three dynamics, and you will be able to master your I-factor."
