Brief Description
A Group with a Difference
There are many groups to which youth might belong. When the word "church" is placed before "youth group," a different kind of group begins to take shape. It is a group with a mission, a group dedicated to learning about and following God, located within a community of believers. Today's passage from Philippians offers a few guidelines that could be used to describe how a church youth group should live out its calling.

Traditions
Traditions are an important part of youth ministry. They can help the group bond and grow together. Some traditions, however, are harmful not only to the youth group itself, but also to their witness. This session will lead the group to examine a passage from Mark where a "tradition" was called into question. The passage raises questions that are still relevant today.

Making a Difference
Every group or club has a purpose. A group's purpose often gives group members a sense of meaning and accomplishment. Church youth groups find their purpose in Christ – in his teachings and in his life. Today's session focuses on Jesus' teachings in Matthew 25:34-46 and how this passage could help your youth group define and clarify its purpose.

What Is a QuickPak?

Youth QuickPaks offer busy youth leaders a terrific approach to leading Bible study. The sessions can be used any time your group gathers for Bible study and are unique in their strong use of media connections for teaching. Sessions point teachers to songs, movie clips, TV shows, or other media that help grab the attention of students and get your discussion rolling.

The sessions also are created to be independent of one another. While a QuickPak provides 3 to 5 sessions around a topic, you can choose to only use the ones you like, and you can use them in any sequence. It’s your choice.

Handouts are included when needed and are ready for printing.
