"Do you own your cell phone…or does it own you?

Interesting question to ask your teens.

Ipods, computers, smartphones, flat screen TVs – we are a society of materialism. In this day, it is too easy to become numb to it, or – worse yet – expect it as a right. We lose sight of Christ. But start talking about this topic (if you can get your teens to stop texting) and the walls go right up.

By Jenny Baker for Urban Saints

This highly experiential study uses narration, conversation, and art to relate a powerful overview of God's big story--as revealed in the Bible! Teenagers will explore how this dynamic assortment of ancient books is interlinked, purposeful, and part of an ongoing adventure. They'll gain a better understanding of God's dealings with people throughout the history of the world--from Creation to the present, and into the future. To help them grasp the "big picture," teens will design a mural and add to it each week, developing a panoramic view of God's story. They'll see how they're part of His story, how their roots go back to Creation, and that their future can be in the New Creation. Great for young adult small groups!
