Parents:
We wanted to let you know that we had a great time with your student this weekend at HighPoint! Between free time, zip lining, EATING, and having a great time in general, we spent lots of dedicated time in worship and in God’s word! The theme of the weekend was “God Is In Charge” as we looked at all the ways that God’s authority changes the way we live. Below is a highlight of each of the main sessions and some follow up questions that you can ask your child to help them apply what they learned over the weekend! We appreciate your partnership as we raise the next generation of disciples!
Friday Night Theme:
Because God is in charge and created us, he gets to define how we live in relationship to Him and others.
Key verse(s): Genesis 1:27 - “So God created man in his own image; he created him in the image of God; he created them male and female.”
Parent Discussion Questions based on Friday evening to ask your child:
-Where do you struggle with Jesus “defining” (or having authority) in your life?
-What authorities has Jesus put in your life and how can you respond to them in a better way?
Saturday Morning Theme:
Because God is in charge and created us, we are created male and female.
Key Verse(s): Genesis 1:27
Key Point: God created us male and female, equal in value, yet with distinct responsibilities.
Parent Discussion Questions based on Saturday morning to ask your child:
-As your son about the “weight bar / deadlift illustration.” If you have a daughter, ask them about the “mirror” illustration and what that meant.
-What does it mean to be a man or woman? What false ideas might culture tell us about what it means to be a man or woman?
Saturday Night Theme:
Because God is in charge and created us, we show grace.
Key Verse(s): Colossians 3:13 - “Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.”
Parent Discussion Questions based on Saturday night to ask your child:
-Have you ever been wronged or sinned against?
-If we know Jesus, how do we deal with those who have sinned against us?
-How is that different than the way the world deals with those who sin against us?
Sunday Morning Theme:
