LAST WEEK
This week, our small groups examined the third “part” of God’s Big Story. Our key words for this lesson were “fix” and “receive,” and we focused on Romans 6:23. This verse effectively summarizes our need for God’s fixing in our lives-”For the wages of sin is death”-and the details of how we can receive God’s remedy-”the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.”

When we talk about God “fixing” the world, we’re really talking about God’s plan of redemption-that which was broken can now be fixed, restored, redeemed through Jesus Christ. And the word “receive” is important because God is the one who does the fixing. We can only receive his gift of being “fixed” or redeemed through Jesus-we can’t do it ourselves.

Here are some questions that might help you engage in conversation with your teenager about this week’s lesson:

How has Jesus fixed problems or challenges in your life?

Tell me in your own words what it means to “become a Christian” and how you make the choice to receive God’s remedy of forgiveness and redemption through Jesus Christ.
