Full Tilt (Grade 7 & 8 Student Ministry) Weekly Updates FullTilt Lesson 20: Singleness Key verse: 1 Corinthians 7:7-8 Singleness is a gift from God and should be wisely used for the glory of God. Both marriage and singleness are good gifts from God. Those in either situation should trust God's wisdom in assigning His gifts as they pursue content, purity and thankfulness. Paul recognizes the special gift of singleness as a period not to be wasted in irresponsibility or selfishness. Singles are to devote their time to pursuit godliness, good work, character development and ministry. PARENTS CORNER: Am I becoming more responsible? Am I investing myself in Kingdom labors? How might some "waste" the gift of singleness that God has given to them? Can wanting to get married be an idol? How? Can wanting to stay single be an idol? How? What should one's motive be in deciding which to pursue?

The passage studied this week is Titus 2:7-8 Mature masculinity involves neither people-pleasing nor abrasively domineering but involves the pursuit of godly character. Paul portrays manliness in Titus 2, one of dignity, self-control, seriousness, maturity and honor. Manliness is not about being arrogant, self absorbed, crude or rude. God wants man to cultivate strength by embracing mature masculinity of leading, providing and protecting. Parent's Corner (Discussion questions for your teens) 1. Why is self-control so important for young men? 2. GUYS: Are you tempted to boss others around? 3. GIRLS: are you tempted to let guys push you around? In what situations are you most susceptible? 4.

(proverbs 19:11) ANNOUNCEMENTS: Wed, 7 Mar 2012 14:34:17 -0500 This week at Full Tilt we'll be looking at A Role Model of masculinity: Jesus The passage studied this week is John 10:27 Jesus is the one perfect model of manhood he is both tough and tender. He has lived an incredible life of sacrificial love, not to please Himself but to do the work God had given Him. Jesus represented His headship and authority to lead, protect and provide for His people. Parent's Corner (Discussion questions for your teens) 1. The difference between inappropriate and appropriate boldness 2. Guys: What situations have you been in when you needed to express toughness? Were you tough? Why or why not?

Tue, 21 Feb 2012 10:44:10 -0500 This week at Full Tilt we'll be looking at A Role Model of masculinity: Paul. The passage studied this week is: Philippians 3:17 If you know the stories in the Bible, you'll know that there are many figures we could hold up as role models for us-as heroes of the faith. Many of these heroes are models of masculinity as well, and if we want to see masculinity represented to us, we should take to heart the heroic examples of certain men in the Word of God. Most of the men highlighted in the Old Testament were men of authority who bore great responsibility-prophets, priests, kings, judges, military leaders, or leaders of some other kind. Paul is seen as a masculine man, he is a leader, provider and protector. Parent's Corner (Discussion questions for your teens) 1. While zeal, self-discipline and courage are marks of manliness, are only men to possess these qualities? Explain. 2. Give some real life illustrations of what men of zeal, self-discipline and courage look like? 3. Read 1 Corinthians 7:29-35, where Paul gives specific words to unmarried men and women, like himself? 4. Philippians 3:17, what does this tell you about the kind of people with whom you should" hang around"? Who are some people that you can point to as good role models of masculinity in your life? ANNOUNCEMENTS: February 24th Movie Night SOUL SURFER Tue, 14 Feb 2012 14:44:02 -0500 Friday February 10th This week at Full Tilt we'll be looking at humanities continuing rebellion against God's good design for men and women; we'll be looking at how to embrace masculinity and feminity according to God's Word. Since Masculinity and femininity are hard-wired into how we are created, even non-Christians can live as masculine and feminine to a certain degree. However, we've see in our studies so far that through the gospel of Jesus Christ we turn off the path of destruction that our sin and rebellion leads to and onto the path of restoration. By embracing the teaching and instruction of God's Word and putting into practice what He has revealed, we begin to recover His good and perfect design and live as the men and women He intended us to be. The passages studied this week are: 1 Corinthians 16:13 and 1 Peter 3:4 Parent's Corner (Discussion questions for your teens) For the young men: What kinds of strengths should you be cultivating in your life now? What are hindrances for you in cultivating strengths? What fears do you have? How can God help you conquer your fears and give you courage? For the young women: Do you want to be beautiful? Why? What does 1 Peter 3:3-5 say about the value of the physical body. How does one cultivate helpfulness? Are you helpful now to your parents, teachers, etc? Give examples. Because men are called to take initiative, is it wrong when a female takes initiative? Can you distinguish appropriate female initiative from inappropriate female initiative? Give some examples.

Since the fall of humanity male and female roles have become distorted in several ways. One of those distortions occurs when men's and women's gender identities are such that men or women desire romantic or sexual interaction with the same gender, known as homosexuality. The Scripture teaches that homosexuality is a serious distortion of God's good design. The Central passage in view is Romans 1:28. The goals of this lesson are to teach the students that homosexuality is immoral, that homosexual desires like all other sinful desires (i.e. greed, lust, hate, etc) are to be resisted, and to offer hope to those struggling with same-sex desires. Parents Corner: What makes a young person in this situation vulnerable to falling into sexual sin? Where in your lives do you receive pro-gay messages? The Mosaic Law also forbade cross-dressing? Deuteronomy 22:5? What does this mean? Why is it important for each gender to dress appropriately? How does a person "speak the truth in love"-what attitudes should the speaker have? (love, humility, patience, hope) Announcements: This Friday Jan 21st-the girls and guys will be splitting up for the lesson January 27 to 29 Junior High Winter Retreat Fri, 20 Jan 2012 10:44:33 -0500 Friday January 13th at Full Tilt This week we'll be looking at the continuing rebellion against God's design: Female Rejection of submission. The central passage will be from Genesis 3:16B "Your desire shall be your husband, and he shall rule over you." The curse of God has left women prone to resisting the appropriate male authority. What are the affects of female rejection of submission? Women were cursed with frustration and pain in the sphere of her closeness. The goal of this lesson is to reveal the widespread existence of feminist thought and to show how it is hurtful, destructive, and against God's good design. Examine your heart attitudes toward your thoughts on Female submission. Parent's Corner: Here are questions that you can go over with your child/children: How do parents (father's especially) lead and protect their children? In what ways has the feminist movement sinned against men? Guys: Are you afraid of women? Where do you see this fear of women by men in our culture? How can you overcome fear in male-female relationships? Girls: What can you do to encourage leadership and courage in guys Events: Junior High Winter Retreat 2012 - January 27_29 If you have not paid please do so by January 13th The bus will be leaving the church at 5:30pm and returning at approximately 3pm Thu, 12 Jan 2012 11:47:19 -0500 Wow what a great half of the year , it has been working in the youth ministries.
