Below is a brief summary of what talked about this week. Most of the time we teach through a series for several weeks at a time that way students that miss can get caught back up quickly, and so we can dissect a topic more fully than just a one night deal. Use the overview and questions for both you and your teen to answer and have a dialog that continues outside the church walls and into your homes. Use this opportunity to see what God is teaching your student and also allow your student to see what God is teaching/taught you.
Current Series:
Kairos
is about time. Not the tick-tock kind of time we are used to living in.
Kairos is the beautiful kind of time where God breaks in and changes
everything. These are moments when something special happens. They are
moments that interrupt our status quo. They are moments when the
trajectory of our journeys change forever.
When God breaks in, we must take the change He creates — whatever it may be. We must accept both the work of Christ and the way of Christ. We must trust in what God is doing instead of trying to do it ourselves. And then we must step out in faith and believe that God’s goodness will come in time.
In this series, we will set aside tick-tock time to engage God intentionally and expect him to break into our lives in timeless ways. We’ll be inspired and disturbed. We’ll be encouraged and challenged. We’ll be loved and changed. The moment is upon us. Don’t you think it’s about time?

This Week's Recap:
Week # 2 (02.17.2016): Time Bomb
Bottom Line: e More by Becoming Less
We want the work of Jesus in our lives. We want the miracles, the provision, the experiences, and the love that Jesus provides. These are all good things — but they are not the only thing. The only thing is Jesus Himself. When we evaluate everything by focusing on the only thing, we discover that we must embrace not only the work of Jesus but also the way of Jesus. God’s work of breaking in through a Kairos moment happens to change us so that we become more like Jesus and live in the way of Jesus. To do this, we must embrace sacrifice, and we must learn to be more by becoming less.
Intentional Interaction:
Describe the religious leaders’ attitude. What people in your life do they remind you of?
What is humility? How can we practice humility?
What will need to change in your heart for you to do this?
