Week 1: It’s All About God
Dear
parents,
Fusion
has begun a two-week series on the topic of worship, and this first lesson
focused on placing God at the center of our lives—the only one worth of worship
and adoration.
Our
students examined Deuteronomy 6:1-9, a passage
that reveals God’s desire for his followers—people whose lives would be defined
by full commitment and devotion to him. In verse 5, we learn that God wants us
to love him with all of our heart and all of our soul and all of our strength—every
part of who we are. This passage is full of the type of love and passion that
we can have for the God who created us. The words are powerful and meaningful
and truly explain the meaning of worship—putting God in the center of our lives
and putting God first in our soul, our mind, and our heart.
Here are some questions you might want to use this
week as you talk with your teenager about our lesson:
- How do you think God feels if we choose to worship something or someone else, instead of worshiping him?
- What are some common obstacles teenagers face to obeying God and loving God fully?
- What are some ways you can show God your devotion this week—including through your attitudes and actions toward other people?
Have
a blessed week!
