What you will need for this session:
Bible.Pen.Journal
This is the last Wednesday in our series of lessons. Has living your faith become easier for you? Have you grown in ways that you see as good?
On our last Wednesday we are going to talk about the content of Christian faith, and our concern for the world. God wants us to care about our friends, and our families, and our communities, but he also desires that we care for all people.
As a final prayer, use your journal to make the following words personal:
Dear Jesus,
You modeled true humanity and true servanthood while on this earth, and [I have trouble picking my clothes off the floor when my dad asks me to]. You traveled around the dusty Middle East in sandals, eating a simple diet, yet I [complain when my shower isn’t hot in the morning]. I sometimes fail you, and yet you choose to use me in your work.
Please teach me to see the needs of others in a [place like Darfur, or some other poor or war-torn region] and show me where I can serve people. Open my eyes to the great wide world outside my community. Thank you for what you have given me—the change to be part of this church community and to learn about you. Use what I am learning here to overflow your love into the lives of others.
Help me to follow your example and serve others in all that I do. In your name, amen.
Open your journal and take one last opportunity to record your thoughts about this study. What challenges remain? How are you different?
God bless you as you continue to bless others.
