Hard Rock Series

We are excited to be back in the rhythm of High School Ministries.  This fall on Wednesday Nights we are working on a new series of talks focused around Identity. High School can be a challenging time for student as they wrestle with who they are, redefining yourself after going down the wrong road, and who God says we are. Here are the weekly topics and scripture to back up each of the talk. Our hope is to help students see that their identity. Follow along and if you have any great stories to share I'd love to hear them.

HARD ROCK TALKS

 

Week One: John 8:3-11 You don't have to be defined by your mistakes!

This week is about making mistakes-not literally- but things in our past that can create false identity in us. We all make mistakes, but we need to make sure we aren’t holding on to them and being defined by them. Identify what mistakes we hold onto, and reminded to forgiving yourself.

Week Two: Luke 9:25 Knowing who you are.

A lot of students become a person who—deep down inside—they don’t want to be. They find themselves acting out of insecurity. Often, this can lead to hurting others. This week, help your students reevaluate who they are around their friends. Help them see if it’s consistent with who they want to be as well as who God has made them to be. We want students to take a look at who they are and align themselves with who God has made them to be.

Week Three: Luke 6:45 What defines you.

It can be easy to give into our critical thoughts and pessimism. We often find ourselves being more negative and cutting others down than optimistic and uplifting. We cause separation in relationships when we take on a character of negativity. People simply don’t want to be around negative people. We need to be defined not by our negativity, but rather by finding the good in people and situations. We’ll learn that life is much better lived helping others and caring about people. Help your students figure out what areas of their life they feel they’re most negative about and how they can create positivity in those things.
