Life... What's Up With Yours? Youth and Young Adult Bible Study

"The Lord your God will delight in you if you obey his voice and keep the commands and decrees written in this Book of Instruction, and if you turn to the Lord your God with all your heart and soul." (Deuteronomy 30:10 NLT)

This dynamic approach to youth and young adult bible study is a gripping soul connecting guide to understanding biblical principles.  It is also an energetic interpersonal view of thought provoking life stories that provide enlightenment for those who are interested in the mystery of a faith walk with Jesus Christ.  Each session centers the discussion group’s attention on the plight of the many different characters whose stories are woven throughout the series. The characters are socialized urbanites whose behavior may be familiar to some, or offer enlightenment to others. If you have a passion to capture the attention of urban youth and young adults, this book must be added to your teaching arsenal.

The Best Me I Can Be!!!

Refer to yourself by words that represent confidence, determination, and the grace of God.

Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when the desire is fulfilled, it is a tree of life.
Proverbs 13:12 (Amplified Bible)

Story: 

There are several students at school who are F-I-N-E.  The sun rises and sets by the intensity of their smiles. You look at these people, then look at yourself and wonder why you don’t command that much attention.  Maybe attention is the wrong word.  You are not the type of person who people go out of their way to get to know. What is it about some people that makes the world stop to let them get on board, while for other people, the world will roll right by as if they don’t exist?  The ordinary people have to take a running start to jump onto the world if they want to participate.  Is being “ordinary” a state of mind or a matter of physical appearance? People don’t have a problem throwing fat jokes my way.  They love to remind me about my big lips, thick thighs, protruding teeth, and big head.  They call me Big Head, Frog Legs, Big Foot, Big Mack, Thunder Thighs, and more. I can get mad because they don’t call me F-I-N-E.  The behavior of others will never stop me from being the best me I can be. Call me what you want. I will call myself W-O-N-D-E-R-F-U-L.

W – Willing to
O – Obey authority and
N – Not be
D – Destroyed by
E – Evil
R – Rude
F – Fake people because I have the
U – Unlimited ability to
L – Love

Only labels that reflect the attributes of God are acceptable in my space. My space is precious. My space is comfortable. My space includes the best person I know. My space includes me.
