3 Story: THEIR STORY

This week, we looked at discovering THEIR STORY. Our story is the story of who we are and how much we need Jesus. Their story is about them... where they are... what is going on in their lives... and noticing those connection points between their story, my story, and, as we will see this next week, God's story.


The challenge this week, was for students to listen... really listen to someone's story. They were challenged to ask questions (that don't have question marks)... like "Tell me about your family."... you know... those questions that don't allow you to say "yes" or "no". We parents us "how was your day?" And we know the problem with that question is that the answer can be as short as, "fine." How different of a response if we said, "tell me about your day". 

PARENT CUE: So show your kids "how it's done". Ask them a question that doesn't end in a question mark. Then take the chance to discuss how they can Discover their Friends' Story. Also, ask the following question and take time to pray for their unsaved friends. If they say they don't have any, this might be a good time to pray that God would bring someone into their life that really needs to know Jesus.

Tell me about your friends that aren't Christians.
