Word Alive Youth: September Series-Babel

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!

September Series-Babel

Series Description

What does a tower in ancient times built to reach the heavens and a cell phone have in common? A lot more than you think. The people responsible for the tower of Babel, the uh Babel-ers we'll call them, took the technology, the tools of their day and used them in a way that elevated themselves and took God out of the picture. And the reality is that you and I have tools in our hands, the technology of our day, that we take and use in similar ways. The technology itself isn't bad or good. It's neutral. But like the people of Babel, how we choose to use the technology is important - it reflects the kind of relationship we have with it. And the right kind of relationship with technology will help us to do the right kinds of things with it.

Session 1: I ♥ Technology
Bottom Line: Every one of us has a relationship with technology.

Session 2: My Profile
Bottom Line: Your relationship with technology can distort your view of who you really are.

Session 3: Social Network
Bottom Line: The way we treat technology can help or hurt our relationship with others.

THE XP: The XP for the Babel series was created to help students answer the question posed in Session 1 of the series, "What is your relationship with technology?" The XP is a technology detox in which students will choose to go on a technology fast for the week from a specific piece of technology to help them determine their true relationship with it. Encourage your leaders and parents to participate as well. For more information, see the Babel XP document in your series downloads.
