Next Level lesson 8/3/10

I told them to keep up with three activities for the coming month: pray for me, go to church, and read Galatians to Colossians.

The lesson for the day was a quick overview of what I wanted to teach over the course of two weeks: previously, I taught about the importance of love as the greatest aspect of Christian living.  Today I went over the idea that they need to have a learning attitude and to live out what they've learned.  School may have disillusioned them about the importance of learning, but it is vitally important to keep studying and growing.  Then I told them to live out and apply what they've learned, from me and from their personal study of God's word.  The only way for them to grow and change is to intentionally apply what they learned to their circumstances and experiences.
