What Makes You Valuable?

We are in our discipleship series this month and our main theme is that we are being conformed into the image of Christ. (Romans 8:28-29) Our goal is to help our students stop focusing on how the world sees them and start to view themselves as God sees them. We want the students to see themselves as God's workmanship, who God is working on in order to make them into the image bearers they were created to be. We are putting the emphasis on what God is doing in us to conform to the image of His son and less on what we should do to be conformed.

To help our students think about this question, we set up a huge mirror that we found laying around in the church and set it up in the youth center and allowed the students to answer the question, "What makes you valuable?" The students took markers and wrote their answers to that questions. We then answered that question in gender specific panel discussions through out the night. It was a great night. We showed this video during the night.
