"Jesus Talks"

Young Life's mission statement is simple: "Introducing adolescents to Jesus Christ and helping them grow in their faith." The book known as Matthew, found in the New Testament, is an awesome place to start for anyone who wants to be introduced to arguable the most famous person who has ever lived!

Until the end of this school year at Campaigners we will be taking a look at chapters 5-7 of Matthew, a section known as "The Sermon on the Mount." You might be surprised at how many of the things said by Jesus in this "Talk" you recognize. For example: "blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth", "let your 'yes' be 'yes' and your 'no', 'no'", "turn the other cheek", "the Lord's prayer" etc...

What we find is that when Jesus Talks:

• It's often surprising
• He talks about issues that are just as relevant now as they were 2000 years ago
• He challenges us to consider our relationship with others, with our stuff, and with God

Here's the schedule of topics we'll look at over breakfast at Campaigners:

Week 1 "Who is truly Blessed?" 5:1-12
Week 2 "Anger" 5:21-26
Week 3 "Relationships" 5:27-30
Week 4 "Revenge: Love Your Enemies?" 5:38-48
Week 5 "How do I Pray?" 6:5-15
Week 6 "Money" 6:16-24
Week 7 "Why Worry?" 6:25-34
Week 8 "Judgmental: Who Me?" 7:1-6
Week 9 "Ask, Seek, Knock" 7:7-12
Week 10 "Walk the Talk" 7:24-29

So join us at Campaigners or follow along from home! Parents, this could be an awesome opportunity to read along with your kids and have meaningful conversation about relevant issues. I'll be posting a summary each week of questions used and discussions had. All are invited to come find out what happens when Jesus Talks...
