Stuck Together
A series on family can be tricky because every student in the room comes with a different experience and family dynamic. The goal here isn’t to set one kind of family above the rest. Rather, it’s to remind students that, when dealing with the good, the hard, and the everything in between with family, they have the Spirit of God to lead them toward what’s best, for them, for the family they’re born with, and for the family they choose.
WEEK 1: Your family doesn’t have to be perfect for God to use it. (John 13:35, 1 Corinthians 13:4-7)
WEEK 2: Your family doesn’t have to be perfect for God to use it. (Genesis 27:34-38, Hebrews 11:20)
WEEK 3: When your family changes, God is with you. (Isaiah 43:2, Isaiah 4:10)
WEEK 4: Sometimes friends are more like family. (1 Samuel 23:16, 1 Samuel 18:3)
