8/15 Senior High Sunday School "Relaunch- Moving with and impacting each other"

Lesson by: Jared Graves

Moving With Each Other

Acts 2:44-47

·      Verse 44-45

o   As a government, this ideal is called communism.  As a movement, this is called caring for one another and being selfless.

o   What is the point of youth group? Is it to get something out of it, or put all you have into it?

§  The fact is, we are not called to get something out of it, we are called to put all we have into it.  We have discussed this before, but often times the reason that we feel separated from God, or from others is because we are not doing our part in the relationship.

·      Verse 46-47

o   Why is it significant that they met together in the temple courts?

§  They did not abandon the Jewish religion. They simply saw that the hope had already been found in Jesus.

o   Wow, this sounds like a perfect world doesn’t it?  Almost too good to be true.  This atmosphere would not last, but it gives us an example of the mutual love and support we are to give each other.

Impacting Each Other

Read 1 Timothy 4

·      Verses 1-8

o   Does anyone see an instance of people following false teachings?

o   Notice that these people who are referred to as following these teachings and leaders were once Christians.

o   What does Paul tell Timothy to do with these people who are following the wrong directions?

·      Verses 9-15

Closing

The only way that we can be a force is to know the equation: Force=Mass x Acceleration. All of us have to be moving together as fast as we can. We need to care so about each other and to know everything about each other.  Only then can we become a solid form and move with a united purpose in every step.
