10/4 Ignite "Masquerade-Chameleon"

Devotion- Jared Graves

Intro

• Students made a mask as if they were getting ready for a Masquerade

Devotion

• We like to fit in. We find a select number of individuals and call them friends. We adjust our lives, our thoughts, our likes and dislikes based on their views and preferences.  Sometimes this isn’t a bad thing, but often, it is.
• We change our morals, our stances on right and wrong, and other things because we want to fit in and be cool.
• We run from mask to mask in order to fit in with a group of friends and clicks.
• 1 Peter 2:1-12. We are called out, a people not meant to be wishy-washy in our encounters with others. We are to be the example for others to follow, not to follow blindly.

Application

• We can wear different clothes, we can hang out with different people, but who we are should not change. We should be the same person at all times, not letting others influence us.

M&M Discussion

Discuss the masks that we put on in order to fit in, to be cool, or to act like someone else.

Once everyone has gone, discuss with the M&M how to overcome some of their struggles. Perhaps match people up with others who struggle with the same thing for support.
