Parent Conversation Guide (4.6.22)

Passage: Ezekiel 36:26; Galatians 2:20; Philippians 1:6

Overview:
You may have heard the story a million times. You may have seen pictures of a stone rolled away and an empty tomb. You may have sung death was arrested or living hope. They’re on your most played songs list and you may have the lyrics memorized. But the problem is none of that matters if you’ve never allowed its reality to penetrate your heart. If you’ve never given your heart to Jesus and said, “Jesus, change my heart,” then no amount of knowledge or experience will ever fix the problem in your heart. So you may have heard the story, but have you experienced its impact?
 
What do we want our teens to know?

• God wants to transform your heart
• God wants to write a new story
• God wants to secure your furture

What do we want our teens to do?

• Know and personally experience the impact of the resurrection of Jesus.
• Be encouraged by this life-changing reality to the point where they are willing to take risks to be a light for Jesus. 

Ways to follow up with your teen this coming week:

• Continue to use the Easter season to have conversations with your teen/family about the signficance of Jesus' resurrection. 
• You can do this by reading an Easter-specific devotion together, or reading through the story of Passion Week from the book of John. 
• Choose another family or a friend together to use the invitation cards to invite someone to come to church for Easter.
