This Week # 3-29

This Week in OFF ROAD we started our summer series titled, “Hessid.” This is the Hebrew word for God’s love and really has a deeper, more powerful meaning than the love that we think about. This love can be described as steadfast, graceful, merciful, faithful, loyal, good, devote, unfailing, relentless, pursuing, lavish, extravagant, unrestrained and so much more. We will be spending the entire summer looking at aspects of God’s love because He first loved us. The talk this week focused on the fact that if our motivation for following Christ comes from doing what our parents say or just doing what we think is right and not form a love from God and for God that motivation will disappear. We need to understand God’s love so that we can be continually motivated to follow His call.
(1 John 4:7-19) (John :1-5)
Questions for discussion:
How would you describe God’s love?
What aspect of God’s love in the Hessid statement stuck out the most to you? Why?
How do you think your life would change if you really began to understand God’s love?
Why is it so important to begin to understand God’s love?

THIS WEEK

This Week in OFF ROAD we sadly said goodbye to the 8th graders as next week they will be moving on to the High School group. They are loved and will be missed.

BUT this coming week we get to welcome up the new, soon to be 6th graders. We will make them feel welcomed and loved. Unfortunately I have a commitment right after church so I can’t meet with all you new parents, but your child will receive a packet with all the OFF ROAD info you need.
