Transcription:

Have you ever considered the fact that you are in a war; not a physical war, but a spiritual war? If you love and follow Jesus Christ you are fighting with Him, on His side, with His army. If you have not decided to love and follow God you are still in the war only you are fighting on the other team... Satan s. (If you have not decided to follow God and fight in His army yet and would like to, give us a call and we will help you!!

SUNDAY WARRIOR GOD What do you think of when you think of war? wisi What enim are ad words minim you veniam, think of quis when nostrud you think exerci of tation God? ullamcorper suscipit nibh As you euismod read these tincidunt verses ut laoreet keep in dolore mind magna David was aliquam a man erat who volutpat. followed Ut wisi God with enim all ad of minim his heart. veniam, The quis Bible nostrud says exerci He was tation a man ullamcorper after God s suscipit own lobortis heart. Try nisl to ut picture aliquip God ex ea in commodo the way David consequat. describes Him. Psalm 35:1-3 O LORD, oppose those who oppose me. Declare war on those who are attacking me. Put on your armor, and take up your shield. Prepare for battle, and come to my aid. Lift up your spear and javelin and block the way of my enemies. Let me hear you say, I am your salvation! What character qualities do you see about God in these verses? (personality, nature, basically who is God)? Have you ever thought of God as a warrior? Why or why not?

SUNDAY WARRIOR GOD David asked God to go to war for Him, how would you feel about asking God to go to war for you? lobortis If God, the nisl creator ut aliquip of ex the ea universe angels, commodo consequat. demons, nature, people needs armor, how much do you think you need God s armor? How would your life be lamcorper different if suscipit you were lobortis always nisl ut ready aliquip for ex the ea battle? commodo conseq.

MONDAY BELT OF TRUTH LITTLE WHITE LIE STARTING Think about a WITH time in THE your life BASICS when you told a really big lie what did Lorem you lie ipsum about dolor and how sit amet, did you consectetuer feel before adipiscing and after elit, you sed lied? diam nonummy How do you feel when someone lies to you? What happens in your relationship when they lie? (A little background) One day Jesus was talking to people who claimed to follow God and He told them a little background about Satan: John 8:44b He (The Devil) was a murderer from the beginning and has always hated the truth. There is no truth in him. When he lies, it is consistent with his character; for he is a liar and the father of lies. Why would Satan want to lie to you? What are lies Satan is telling to you? What truth do you need to fight the lies? How can you help other people find God s truth for their lives?

TUESDAY BELT OF TRUTH COLD, HARD FACTS STARTING Colossians 1:6, WITH 9-14 This THE same BASICS Good News that came to you is going Lorem out all ipsum over the dolor world. sit amet, It is consectetuer changing lives adipiscing everywhere, elit, sed just diam as it nonummy nibh changed euismod yours tincidunt that very ut laoreet first day dolore you magna heard and aliquam understood erat volutpat. the truth Ut wisi about enim God s ad great minim kindness veniam, quis to sinners. nostrud exerci tation ullamcorper suscipit We ask God to give you a complete understanding of what he wants to do in your lives, and we ask him to make you wise with spiritual wisdom. Then the way you live will always honor and please the Lord, and you will continually do good, kind things for others. All the while, you will learn to know God better and better. We also pray that you will be strengthened with his glorious power so that you will have all the patience and endurance you need. May you be filled with joy, always thanking the Father, who has enabled you to share the inheritance that belongs to God s holy people, who live in the light. For he has rescued us from the one who rules in the kingdom of darkness, and he has brought us into the Kingdom of his dear Son. God has purchased our freedom with his blood and has forgiven all our sins. Do you ever feel like you do not know what God wants you to do? What do these verses say will be the benefit of becoming wise? How does this passage say you can know God better? Why do you think truth would be referred to as a belt?

WEDNESDAY BELT OF TRUTH THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH, AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH nibh euismod tincidunt All American ut laoreet Rejects- dolore magna Dirty Little aliquam Secrets erat volutpat. Ut lobortis nisl ut aliquip I ll ex keep ea commodo you my dirty consequat. little secret (Dirty little secret) lamcorper Don t suscipit tell anyone lobortis or nisl you ll ut aliquip be just ex another ea commodo regret conseq. (Just another regret, hope that you can keep it) Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, My consectetuer dirty little adipiscing secret elit, sed diam nonummy wisi enim ad minim veniam, Who quis nostrud has to exerci know tation ullamcorper suscipit lobortis nisl ut aliquip When ex ea we commodo live such consequat. fragile lives It s the best way we survive I go around a time or two Just to waste my time with you Tell me all that you ve thrown away Find out games you don t wanna play You are the only one that needs to know I ll keep you my dirty little secret (Dirty little secret) Don t tell anyone or you ll be just another regret (Just another regret, hope that you can keep it) My dirty little secret Who has to know The way she feels inside (inside) Those thoughts I can t deny (deny) These sleeping dogs won t lie (won t lie) And now I try to lie It s eating me apart Trace this life out

WEDNESDAY BELT OF TRUTH How do these lyrics define truth? Lorem What words ipsum dolor stick sit out amet, to you consectetuer in regards adipiscing to where elit, living sed hidden diam nonummy lives nibh and lies euismod lead? tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna aliquam erat volutpat. Ut How does it make you feel to live lies and/or know a lot of the world lives lies? What do you know about God that would provide you with real truth and hope?

THURSDAY BELT OF TRUTH TRUTH AND CONSEQUENCES STARTING Paul was a Jew WITH and THE the Law BASICS was the foundation for everything Jewish Lorem people ipsum believed dolor and sit followed. amet, consectetuer During this time adipiscing there elit, were sed a diam lot of nonummy Jews nibh who euismod had taken tincidunt the Law ut to laoreet an extreme dolore magna and followed aliquam exactly erat volutpat. what the Ut Law wisi said rather enim ad than minim really veniam, knowing quis God nostrud and following exerci tation the heart ullamcorper of the suscipit Law. lobortis When Paul nisl says ut aliquip I love ex God s ea commodo Law he consequat. is in essence saying he loves God and the heart of what God intended through the words of the Law. You see, people thought the Law was only what was written in the Old Testament Scriptures. However, Paul is trying to help people understand the Law is a combination of God s commands in the Bible and His gracious love for all people. Romans 7:21-25 It seems to be a fact of life that when I want to do what is right, I inevitably do what is wrong. I love God s law with all my heart. But there is another law at work within me that is at war with my mind. This law wins the fight and makes me a slave to the sin that is still within me. Oh, what a miserable person I am! Who will free me from this life that is dominated by sin? Thank God! The answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord. So you see how it is: In my mind I really want to obey God s law, but because of my sinful nature I am a slave to sin. Do you ever feel like Paul in this passage when he says he wants to do what is right and yet does what is wrong? How? How would you describe a slave? This passage says we are slaves how? What does this passage say is the answer to this battle?

THURSDAY BELT OF TRUTH Paul talks about the law that fights against God s law how can you fight this law and win the battle? In what ways would having the belt of truth help in these situations?

FRIDAY BELT OF TRUTH MOMENT OF TRUTH STARTING Philippians 4: WITH 6-9 Do THE not be BASICS anxious about anything, but in everything, Lorem by prayer ipsum and dolor petition, sit amet, with consectetuer thanksgiving, adipiscing present elit, your sed requests diam nonummy to God. nibh And euismod the peace tincidunt of God, ut which laoreet transcends dolore magna all understanding, aliquam erat volutpat. will guard Ut wisi your enim hearts ad and minim your veniam, minds quis in Christ nostrud Jesus. exerci tation ullamcorper suscipit Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable if anything is excellent or praiseworthy think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you. Right after this passage says, God s peace will guard your hearts and minds it gives a list of things to think about. Does this list reflect how you think? In what ways does it or doesn t? How do you think your thoughts affect how you see truth? How does it make you feel when you hear The God of peace will be with you? What do these verses show you about God?

MONDAY BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS THE MORAL CODE STARTING Below are two WITH translations THE BASICS of Matthew 5:6. As you look at both Lorem translations ipsum what dolor do sit you amet, think consectetuer this verse adipiscing says is righteousness? elit, sed diam nonummy wisi Matthew enim 5:6 ad minim niv Blessed veniam, quis are those nostrud who exerci hunger tation and ullamcorper thirst for suscipit lobortis righteousness, nisl ut aliquip for they ex will ea commodo be filled. consequat. Matthew 5:6 message You re blessed when you ve worked up a good appetite for God. He s food and drink in the best meal you ll ever eat. Righteousness is a pretty big word. What do you think it means? Would you say you hunger and thirst for doing what makes you right with God? Righteousness means you are living in a way to become right with God. In what ways are you seeking to be more like God or what ways would you like to become more like God? In what ways can you change your life to become more like God?

TUESDAY BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS PROTECT YOURSELF What does a breastplate protect, why would it be important? Why do you think a soldier would wear a breastplate? Since righteousness means you are living in a way to become right with God, why do you think the breastplate would be a visual example for righteousness? What are areas in your life need to be protected to enhance your relationship with God? How will becoming more like God help you in these areas? What do you need to do to become more like God?

WEDNESDAY BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS START A R.I.O.T. - RIGHTEOUS INVASION OF YOUTH STARTING When you think WITH of righteousness THE BASICS do you think of it as an individual act or Lorem as something ipsum dolor that sit involves amet, other consectetuer people? adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy What would you think if I said, Living a life for Christ is not about how we look, what we do, or what we do not take part of. Living for God is so much more about living in unity with each other. Romans 14:17-19 For the Kingdom of God is not a matter of what we eat or drink, but of living a life of goodness and peace and joy (righteousness) in the Holy Spirit. If you serve Christ with this attitude, you will please God. And other people will approve of you, too. So then, let us aim for harmony in the church and try to build each other up.

THURSDAY BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS WARRIORS OF VIRTUE What are areas in your life where you feel like you are not like God? What needs to change in your life for you to become more like God? Write out the areas of your life you want to change and pray the verse below as you ask God to make you more like Him. Psalm 5:8 Lead me in the right path, O LORD, or my enemies will conquer me. Tell me clearly what to do, and show me which way to turn.

FRIDAY BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS THE HOW TOO... STARTING What in your WITH life makes THE you BASICS want to do things you know are not honoring Lorem to God? ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy How would you live differently if you knew someone you respect (Shaun, your small group leader, your Mom or Dad) was watching you all the time? How would you live differently if you knew someone younger than you was watching what you do to make their decisions in life? II Cor. 5:20-21 We re Christ s representatives. God uses us to persuade men and women to drop their differences and enter into God s work of making things right between them. We re speaking for Christ himself now: Become friends with God; he s already a friend with you. How? you say. In Christ. God put the wrong on him who never did anything wrong, so we could be put right with God (righteous). How do these verses influence the way you want to live your life? What do you want to keep the same and what needs to change?

MONDAY SHOES OF PEACE WHAT DOES THIS ALL MEAN? When you think of the word Gospel, what comes to your mind? Some of you may have thought of a certain genre of music, others may have thought about part of the Bible in the New Testament the books Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John (which are the books that tell about the life and death of Jesus) are often referred to as the Gospels. Here is what the Bible says: Romans 1:16-17 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: The righteous will live by faith. After reading these verses why do you think it is important to understand what the Gospel is? The word Gospel literally means Good News. Last week we studied about righteousness and how we can become more like God. Knowing these two aspects, what do you see and understand about verse 17 where it says In the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed?

TUESDAY SHOES OF PEACE PEACE OUT! STARTING Do you ever feel WITH like everything THE BASICS in your life is just not okay? Are there Lorem times when ipsum you dolor feel sit distant amet, consectetuer from God, other adipiscing people elit, or even sed yourself? diam nonummy nibh Right euismod before Jesus tincidunt left ut this laoreet world dolore He told magna His disciples aliquam this: erat volutpat. Ut John 14:27 I am leaving you with a gift--peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give isn t like the peace the world gives. So don t be troubled or afraid. In what areas do you feel at peace? Where do you need peace? From this verse what characteristics do you see about God? How do you want this verse to affect the way you live your life? How can it help you live in peace?

WEDNESDAY SHOES OF PEACE ARE WE THERE YET? Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, Coldplay consectetuer - Fix adipiscing you elit, sed diam nonummy wisi enim ad When minim veniam, you try quis your nostrud best but exerci you tation don t succeed ullamcorper suscipit lobortis nisl When ut aliquip you get ex ea what commodo you want consequat. but not what you need When you feel so tired but you can t sleep Stuck in reverse And the tears come streaming down your face When you lose something you can t replace When you love someone but it goes to waste could it be worse? Lights will guide you home and ignite your bones And I will try to fix you High up above or down below when you re too in love to let it go but If you never try you ll never know Just what your worth Lights will guide you home and ignite your bones And I will try to fix you Tears streaming down your face When you lose something you cannot replace Tears streaming down your face and I Tears streaming down your face I promise you I will learn from my mistakes Tears stream down your face and I Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones And I will try to fix you

WEDNESDAY SHOES OF PEACE What do these lyrics say about how you try to find peace in life? How do the lyrics make you feel? How do these lyrics compare to what you learned yesterday (John 14:27 I am leaving you with a gift--peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give isn t like the peace the world gives. So don t be troubled or afraid. ) What does this verse show you about God especially in light of these lyrics?

THURSDAY SHOES OF PEACE SIMMER DOWN! STARTING Do you ever feel WITH like you THE get BASICS worried about life? Maybe you are worried Lorem about the ipsum future, dolor relationships sit amet, consectetuer with your friends, adipiscing your elit, family, sed diam financial nonummy nibh issues, euismod etc. Normally tincidunt you ut worry laoreet about dolore situations magna aliquam you don t erat have volutpat. control Ut wisi over; enim issues ad close minim to veniam, your heart quis and nostrud issues exerci overwhelming tation ullamcorper your mind. suscipit It is lobortis easy to nisl get ut down aliquip about ex ea the commodo uncertainty consequat. of life. Paul addresses the issue of worrying at the end of his letter to a group of people who live in a place called Philippi. This is the advice Paul gives these people: Philippians 4:6-7 Don t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. If you do this, you will experience God s peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. What do you see about the character of God in these verses?

THURSDAY SHOES OF PEACE Why would God want His people to tell Him what they need & thank Him? nibh What euismod do you tincidunt think is God s ut laoreet peace? dolore In what magna way aliquam could erat it be volutpat. better than Ut wisi anything enim you ad could minim ever veniam, imagine? quis nostrud exerci tation ullamcorper suscipit Ephesians 6:15 says For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News, so that you will be fully prepared. What correlation do you see between peace as the armor protecting your feet and peace guarding your hearts and minds?

FRIDAY SHOES OF PEACE STICK WITH IT! STARTING Proverbs 3:1-6 WITH My child, THE never BASICS forget the things I have taught you. Store Lorem my commands ipsum dolor in your sit amet, heart, consectetuer for they will adipiscing give you elit, a long sed diam and satisfying nonummy nibh life. Never euismod let tincidunt loyalty and ut laoreet kindness dolore get magna away from aliquam you! erat Wear volutpat. them Ut like wisi a necklace; enim ad write minim them veniam, deep quis within nostrud your exerci heart. tation Then ullamcorper you will find suscipit favor lobortis with both nisl God ut aliquip and people, ex ea and commodo you will consequat. gain a good reputation. Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will direct your paths. Do you ever feel like you want to get closer to God but you don t know where to start? Do you feel like reading the Bible will help, but you don t know what to read? (If you would like some help knowing where to start ask any staff member or your ABS leader, we would love to help you find a Bible you understand and passages that will help you know God more!) What do these verses say will help you follow God daily? What do you think it means to Seek His will?

MONDAY SHIELD OF FAITH CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?! How would you define faith? When are times you feel like you need faith? Hebrews 11:1 What is faith? It is the confident assurance that what we hope for is going to happen. It is the evidence of things we cannot yet see. Faith can be a subject that can be a little bit complicated. Some people think of faith as something they need when they are going through hard times, and yet, faith is needed just as much when things are going well. Since Faith is a trust in God for things we cannot see right now, do you think it is harder to have faith when things are hard or when things are good? What is something you hope is going to happen that you cannot see yet?

TUESDAY SHIELD OF FAITH TALK IT UP! What do you think of when you hear the phrase Share your faith? Why do you think sharing your faith is important? Philemon 1:5-6 I pray that you may be active in sharing your faith, so that you will have a full understanding of every good thing we have in Christ. Your love has given me great joy and encouragement, because you, brother, have refreshed the hearts of the saints. Why do these verses say to be active in sharing your faith? How does sharing your faith show love?

WEDNESDAY SHIELD OF FAITH GOTTA HAVE FAITH! STARTING Do you ever feel WITH like your THE life BASICS is boring? If so, what do you wish you could Lorem change ipsum about dolor your sit life? amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy lobortis nisl ut aliquip ex ea Blind commodo Melon consequat. No Rain All I can say is that my life is pretty plain I like watchin the puddles gather rain And all I can do is just pour some tea for two and speak my point of view But it s not sane, It s not sane I just want some one to say to me I ll always be there when you wake Ya know I d like to keep my cheeks dry today So stay with me and I ll have it made And I don t understand why I sleep all day And I start to complain that there s no rain And all I can do is read a book to stay awake And it rips my life away, but it s a great escape escape...escape...escape... All I can say is that my life is pretty plain ya don t like my point of view ya think I m insane Its not sane...it s not sane

WEDNESDAY SHIELD OF FAITH What do you think about these lyrics? Do you feel the same way about your life? lobortis What do nisl you ut think aliquip the ex line ea means commodo where consequat. it says And it rips my life away, but it s a great escape? Do you feel like you are trying to escape anything in your life? Knowing what you know about faith do you think there are areas of your life where you need to take a risk for God to step out of your comfort zone?

THURSDAY SHIELD OF FAITH FAITH LIES WITHIN Do you ever feel like you are trying to live your life on your own? Explain. When you think about living your life for God what are your fears? Right before Joshua was asked to step up and be the head leader of God s people, this is the message God gave to Joshua: Joshua 1:6-9 I will not fail you or abandon you. Be strong and courageous, for you will lead my people to possess all the land I swore to give their ancestors. Be strong and very courageous. Obey all the laws Moses gave you. Do not turn away from them, and you will be successful in everything you do. Study this Book of the Law continually. Meditate on it day and night so you may be sure to obey all that is written in it. Only then will you succeed. I command you--be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the LORD your God is with you wherever you go. What words or phrases do you see repeated in these verses? Why do you think they are repeated? How do these verses say you will be successful? How do you see God encouraging Joshua in his faith? What challenges you in these verses to have faith or to strengthen your faith?

MONDAY HELMET OF SALVATION & SWORD OF THE SPIRIT GOD SHAPED HOLE Lorem How many ipsum times dolor a sit day amet, do you consectetuer feel alone adipiscing or see someone elit, sed who diam is nonummy alone? wisi enim ad minim veniam, Something s quis nostrud Missing exerci tation ullamcorper suscipit lobortis nisl ut aliquip ex ea commodo John Mayer consequat.
