Bridges Xample - The Story

The Xample Youth Group will be following along with the rest of the Bridges Church Family and will be participating in "The Story" series.  I say participating, because we will not just be reading and learning, but we are going to make this an interactive series.  

For this series, you may want to follow along by reading one chapter per week from the book The Story: The Bible as One Continuing Story of God and His People. We have copies for only $5.  (See Wally for details.)  The Student Ministry meets Sunday nights at  6pm at Shattalon Church of Christ. 

We look forward to seeing you there.

Let it snow!

Wednesday's lesson for the High School group has been cancelled due to bad weather.  At this point we are still on for Sunday's meeting.

Enjoy building your snow angles!

1 Timothy 4:12 -- Be the eXample

Don't let anyone look down on your because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity. 1 Timothy 4:12

1.     Speech: “Build Up/Don’t Tear Down”

Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing. 1 Thessalonians 5:11

2.     Conduct: “What is the right thing to do?”

In everything set them an example by doing what is good. Titus 2:7

3.     Love: “What is the loving thing to do?”

Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 13 Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 14 And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. Colossians 3:12-14

4.     Faith: “I can trust God no matter what.”

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5,6

5.     Purity: “Purity in mind, body and spirit.”

God wants you to be holy, so you should keep clear of all sexual sin. 1 Thessalonians 4:3
