Word Alive Youth: August Series- Just Not That Into You

About Us

In our small groups we are experiencing intimate times of fellowship, while discussing relevant topics for today’s contemporary teens. Our time together is not only impacting our small group but our teens and pre-teens are reaching the community, especially their peers within their sphere of influence. (We break into small groups by gender and grades.) We recently started teaching on the same message that's in our adult services, it has been awesome! If you are in this age group SPREAD THE WORD! This group of teen-agers and pre-teens is in full pursuit of the plans and purposes of God and we want everyone to experience life more abundantly while living in the grace and mercy our Great Creator, our heavenly Father, Almighty God, designed us to live and function in. See you there! SEARCH THE RIGHT SIDE OF THIS BLOG TO SEE WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE WEEKS TO COME FOR WEDNESDAYS AND SUNDAYS IN OUR STUDENT MINISTRY!

August Series- Just Not That Into You

Series Description

Every one of us has experienced it at some point. At one time, we were really into a relationship--whether that;s a friendship or a dating relationship--and now, well, not so much. We're just not that into it anymore. So we walk away or we let the relationship die. But what happens when that relationship you're not that into anymore is the one you have with God? You were really into Him at one point. You were feeling connected, directed, close. Now it feels like nothing. How do you deal with it?

Session 1: The Breakup

Bottom Line: My relationship with God has moments when I feel close, and moments when I'm just not that into Him.

Session 2: Fight for Me

Bottom Line: God never leaves, but sometimes I have to fight my own feelings and actions to stay in relationship with Him.

Session 3: Do You Know Me?

Bottom Line: When I am so focused on me, sometimes I miss seeing God for who He really is and make Him into someone who is easy to walk away from.

THE XP: The XP for the Not That Into You series involves creating a panel of Christ followers who can share their stories about the ups and downs of their relationships with God. The XP is intended to take place between Sessions 2 and 3.
