Teach Students How to Respond to Common Thoughts, Questions, and Struggles They Have.

The elephant in the room. It's the thing we're all thinking about it, but no one wants to talk about. This series will address some of the major elephants around today, and also encourage teens to face issues with Godly integrity and courage.

Series Overview:

Memory Verse: “Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper, but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy.” - Proverbs 28:13 (NIV)

Lesson 1: Bringing Up Elephants – Give teens the tools to bring issues to light in a mature and godly way. Matthew 18:15-19 and Galatians 6:1-5, Guidelines for Confrontation and Restoration

Lesson 2: Elephant #1: Self-Abuse – Whether it's eating disorders, drug use, or self-mutilation, teens need to confront various forms of self-abuse and come to know that they are loved and valued by God. Isaiah 61, The Year of the Lord's Favor

Lesson 3: Elephant #2: Pornography – What goes into our eyes comes out in our lives. Teens need to strive for purity, with both their bodies and their minds. Luke 11:33-36, The Lamp of the Body

Lesson 4: Elephant #3: Depression and Suicide – Many teens suffer from depression and thoughts of suicide. They need to have an encounter with the Savior who took their shame as his own and suffered death so that they might live. Ephesians 2:1-10, Made Alive in Christ
