Elevate Sunday Follow Up - Lesson 47
Dear
Parents,
We’re on the home stretch of The
Thread, in which we’ve examined how the Gospel ties together the entire
Bible, from beginning to end.
This week, our lesson, A Letter from Peter, was about God’s
purpose in calling together His church. We clearly saw from 1 Peter that the
purpose of God’s people is to tell about His greatness. We also said that every
one of us has influence; the question is whether we are using that influence to
point people to Jesus or to push them away from Jesus.
We
looked at the following Scripture passages:
•
1 Peter 2:4-14
•
Matthew 5:13-16
Check them out so that you can understand exactly what we discussed
and so you can be encouraged about your life’s purpose.
Next Steps . . .
During the week set aside
a few moments to discuss these questions with your teenager:
•
What is
influence? How do we gain it?
•
What does it mean
that everyone has influence? Where are some areas that you feel like you have
influence? How are you using that influence?
•
What would happen
if our entire church began to use their influence in order to point people to
Jesus? What would happen if our family used our influence to point people to
Jesus?
