Worship Unfiltered - Parent Connection

 

Key Scripture - Psalm 29:2 Give unto the Lord the glory due to His name; worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.

 

 

Objective -  Willingly worship the One Who is worthy.

 

 

Summary - Today's lesson was the third lesson in a four-part series called #NoFilter: Keeping It Real. This series focuses on the basics of how to live the Christian life and how our lives can clearly and boldly demonstrate our relationship with Jesus. One way to keep it real in the Christian life is to sincerely worship God. No pretense. No phony religious rituals, but simple and sincere worship. So, our lesson tonight focused on the idea of unfiltered worship.

 

We defined “worship” as “any action or attitude that expresses praise, love, and appreciation for God,” and your students learned this truth: worship is about expressing God’s worth. When we don’t truly understand God’s worth, we won’t really value Him. When we don’t really value Him, our actions and attitudes will not express true worship. We can never truly worship God until we understand and value His worth.

 

So, before we gave the students different ideas of how to worship God, we focused on developing an understanding of why we should express “praise, love, and appreciation for God.” We gave the students a glimpse of God’s value and worth by studying Isaiah 6. Then, we encouraged them to find creative ways to worship God this week. 

 

Ask your student what specific ways they plan on worshiping God this week and see if you can join them in that worship style.

Elevate Sunday Follow Up - Lesson 20

Dear Parents, This week in The Thread study, we looked at a new perspective. While we know that God’s grace is the only solution for our sin, it is important that we recognize God desires our obedience. In this lesson, titled “The Rise and Fall of Solomon,” students looked at God’s covenant with Solomon. Just as with generations before him, Solomon learned that God disciplines us when we are disobedient. By comparing Solomon’s story with the words of Jesus, students clearly saw that throughout time God has singularly desired our whole heart! We looked at the following Scripture passages: 1 Kings 1:28-30; 3:4-15; 9:1-9; 11:1-13 John 14:23-24 While the whole story of Solomon is fascinating, these passages will help you see the highlights that were studied. Next Steps . . . During the week set aside a few moments to discuss these questions with your teenager: ·          So, this week you studied how God views obedience....
