1826 Young Adults

Hey guys! We wanted to pull out a message from the archives for you to listen to this week. The 1826 leader, Joe, spoke this message to a youth group September 4th, 2019. The message is called "Look Again." We hope you enjoy it and we cannot wait to see you again soon!

Genesis 3:1-5: “Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?” The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’” “You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman. “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

Lying is not new. We can go back to the beginning of time and see some of the very first mistakes made were lies. Today, people are wondering who to trust and have a lack of confidence in people actually telling the truth. We live in an era where people are no longer afraid to distort the truth for their own gain. 1826 Leader, Joe Ross, asks a series of "True or False" questions that are sure to make you think. 

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:

What was your favorite part about “conspiracy” over the past few weeks?

Do you think the people of today are more inclined to telling the truth or distorting it?

When you speak to people you disagree with - do you think you approach them informationally or relationally?

What does it mean to be created in the image and likeness of God?

What do you think your identity is found in?

1 Peter talks through suffering and not to be surprised when things come our way because the spirit and glory of God RESTS on us (ie. In the middle of suffering, God’s caring spirit is shown more than ever) and then Peter gives 3 different types of suffering and why.

1. Consequences – Bad decisions have bad results

2. Persecution – Good decisions may have tough results

3. Circumstances – A broken world affects us

In the midst of suffering, we can feel God’s presence even more. He cares for us, and sometimes we will not know how much until we are in the midst of painful times. 

Follow up questions: 

1. How have you seen God’s caring spirit evident on your life? Or how has God been faithful to you?

2. Have you walked through anything in your life where you came out of the other side of it with a new perspective? If yes, explain! (: 

3. What is something that you need to care less about? Or something you’ve been carrying that you need to give to God?

On this week's overtime, Joe and Christian dive deeper into the lesson "Man or Myth" from our first week of the brand new Conspiracy series. 

Here are some questions to help guide you:

1. In your own words, answer the question, “What do you believe?” And “why Jesus?”

2. Do you think you would be comfortable and confident sharing your faith? Why?

3. Joe talked about there being a good God in a world full of suffering. How do you reason that?
