GREAT COMMISSION - TRUTHS FOR OUR TEENS 2014

GREAT COMMISSION – ST LOUIS 2014

THREE QUESTIONS WE ALL MUST ANSWER:

1.     WHERE ARE WE FROM?

2.     WHY ARE WE HERE?

3.     WHERE ARE WE HEADING?

THREE MOST IMPORTANT DECISIONS:

1.     WHO WILL WE SERVE? (Christ, Buddha, Muhammed, Self, Government, Philosophy, Self…)

2.     WHO WILL WE MARRY?

3.     WHAT WILL BE OUR OCCUPATION?

THREE COMMITMENTS FOR A GREAT LIFE HERE AND HERE-AFTER:

1.     CONFESSING CHRIST AS KING AND SAVIOR – Remember the empty tomb.

2.     BELIEVING GOD’S WORD AS TRUE AND RELEVANT – Inspired and Inerrant

3.     LOVING GOD AND ONE ANOTHER – The greatest of these is love—self centered love is unbecoming and unfulfilling.

THREE HABITS FOR SUCCESS:

1.     BE VIRTUOUS  ( Prudence/Temperance/ Justice/Fortitude/Faith/Hope/Love)

2.     BE INDUSTRIOUS - WORK (Laziness is a sin, Ignorance is no excuse)

3.     BE POSITIVE (A smiling optimism is winsome!)
