(Bo Boshers - aka my new Student Ministry Hero)
Session 2 - Part 1 - by Rick Lawrence
Opening Questions:
* Are you going to leave to? * Are you going to stay on the hillside? * Is there a river of Legacy flowing through your life?What we're doing today:
* A narrative way of exploring God. * Pay attention to the streams that have flowed into ours. (He had us Form a trio of people to walk through this with together.)Question to do in a group:
* Group ActivityTalk about the giants that have influenced your life? (Ex. CS Lewis)He put more on the screens who we might not have known affect us today, but they have.
* St. Steven the martyr - we know him because he was stoned...before that he was known as a powerful communicator "translator" of the Gospel. * Julian of Norwich - swam upstream from prevailing culture. God's compassion rules his heart. Suffering is not punishment for wicked. Her slogan "all shall be well...and all manner of things shall be well." (belief and trust in a loving God.) * John Wesley - preached in lots of places and got kicked out (he listed about 6-10 instances when he was kicked out of a place for preaching the Gospel. 100,000 people came to Christ under him and it would not have happened if * Jim Rayburn - founded Young Life. Accept teens at their sharing point. he was known for things like this, "Incarnational Ministry", "Earning the rights to be heard".Journal Time:
* He gave us journal time to write about people who have been most instrumental in our lives personally. People who have flowed into our story and marked us. (Tim Timmons played music behind)MY LIST:
* My dad - Taught me almost everything I know about leadership, perseverance, depth with Christ, sincere worship, whole hearted devotion in the midst of trial, * My mom - Taught me strength beyond our circumstances. Taught me to dream bigger than what I saw on a regular basis. She's a STRONG leader and vessel * My Grandpa - Strong and wise, quiet with his words but when he spoke it was WISDOM. * Mark Beeson - Bridge the gap between passion and enthusiasm for me. I thought passion looked one dimensional because of how I grew up, but he taught me (through watching him) that there is a enthusiastic and uplifting type of passion! I learned the art of cheerleading through watching him. The closer you get to him the more amazing he is and the more you respect him. * Rob Wegner - Discipleship, Accountability, Theology education. * My Big Mama - Taught me how to be self sufficient at an early age. * John Ortberg - if you want to walk on water, you have to get out of the boat.Pairs: (he had us share with one other person who the most influential person on our list)
* He had us stand and SHOUT AS LOUD AS WE COULD THE NAMES ON THE LIST! (TO PROCLAIM THEM) * When we got to Jesus name, he wanted us to repeat Jesus name over and over again!!!! * THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! * After a mere few seconds it turned into a "JESUS CHANT!!!! (Listening to 2500 people SCREAM JESUS rocked!)Then we rolled right back into worship!
* First song was "heart of worship" - IT'S ALL ABOUT YOU JESUS!!! * Tim Timmons led an acoustic worship set!Session 2 - Part 2 - The Wake - by Bo Boshers
FOUNDATIONAL VERSE: 2 Tim. 2:2 "in these things which you've heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others."
* Timothy was able to see this picture of legacy through watching closely Paul When he thinks of mentoring he thinks of a wake behind a boat * The wake of the boat. * They like to ride jet skis and jump waves and have a bunch of fun. * Stop turn and quickly find the boat because there was a big wake * Get right behind the boat there was smooth water...(this picture for him is the picture of what he wants to be about. he stated, (It's what I think this generation is about.")Following in the wake of others
* Are we letting people follow in the wake of others. * Student want to be close to us and we can let them follow in our wake.There are wakes of men and women in this room that you can follow. ("and we should recognize that")
* Sometimes we have to pause and see it. * Before you leave I want to challenge you to see...AND LET THEM KONW!Run the race and applaud along the way and find a way to say thanks.
* It's good to be encouraged. * Who do you need to say thanks to? (who should you text, email, call that you need to say thanks to)What we're talking about is "what I think the blueprint of this generation is about".
* Let it be personal * Someone that knows you and loves you. * Give me the integrity and perseverance
