Break Free

// March 4th, 2010 // No Comments » // Elevate Update, Spiritual

As always, we are excited to jump into a new student message series @ Elevate Student Ministries.  Here’s what we’re planning for the rest of March…

The “Break Free” series will help students identify and talk about the things in their lives that can inhibit spiritual growth. Obviously, there are different hot buttons of temptation and sin for each person, but these lessons will tackle some root issues that can affect every believer. Teenagers often feel overwhelmed and trapped as a result of poor choices, temptation, and sin. The idea is to simplify the trap and, in the process, simplify the ability to break free! This three-week series will show students how to recognize traps, avoid traps, and mature in their relationship with God, who possesses the ultimate keys to true freedom.

Here’s how we’re gonna break down “Break Free”:
* Week 1: The Desire Trap (Romans 1:22-25)
* Week 2: The Word Trap (James 3:2-12)
* Week 3: The Sin Trap (Luke 7:36-50)

This Sunday night, Pastor Shawn has the rare opportunity to share with adults (grin).  He’ll be speaking at the evening service at Destiny Foursquare Church — start time is 6:30 PM.  The message is titled “Perception vs. Reality”.  He has some fun stuff planned.  Hope you can make it out!

Love and Relationships: Unfiltered

// January 25th, 2010 // No Comments » // Elevate Update, Spiritual

LOVE and RELATIONSHIPS… there is SO much to talk about in regards to students, dating, and romantic relationships.  We can’t wait to start this new student message series — based on the book of Ruth — next week.  Here’s how it’s gonna break down:

  • Past Mistakes / Future Grace (chapter 1) – relationships and consequences
  • Hot or Not (chapter 2) – dating, romance, and being noble
  • Good Girl, Bad Girl/Boy (chapter 3) – beauty, modesty, character, and popularity
  • It’s a Life Sentence (chapter 4) – dating isn’t a game a la “playing the field”; it’s a life-long commitment
