lesson loop 3.20.13

Middle School and High School

Last night we watched Episode 2 of our Gospel Journey Maui series! It was a great night, and I really enjoyed having some of you parents with us for family night! One of the most enjoyable things for me is to see parents and children discussing the things of the Lord.
The main question that was addressed in Episode 2 was What is the purpose of life?
The entire cast went snorkeling, and while on the boat they discussed this extremely important question. Some said the purpose of life was to do good things and help others. Another cast member said the purpose of life was to make a name for yourself so you are remembered. Still others mentioned pleasing God and living for Him.
Zane Black shared his testimony of pursuing a life of worldliness, hoping to find fulfillment and purpose, but coming up empty - until He gave his life to Jesus Christ.
Then the group talked about Solomon, and his pursuit for joy that is described in the book of Ecclesiastes.
The episode ended with each of the cast members going off to the beach with a journal to spend 45 minutes in solitude contemplating the meaning of life. We will pick it up here next week!

After the video, we broke up into growth groups where we discussed these things further.
Here is the outline of what was covered in small groups -

We are excited about how this series can be used to equip our students and also impact non-believing students who attend.
Please encourage your child to invite their friends!
