This Wednesday Night


This week we will be talking about an interesting issue that teens face.  We will be talking about paranormal activity.  Basically Ghost Stories. I wanted to make you aware of this topic.  I will be showing a skit from a Christian crew called Skit Guys as part of the teaching.  It is mildly scary, but hey Ghost Busters was scary for me.  With Halloween coming up I thought it would be a great time to discuss this topic.  

The Scripture for the Night will be Acts 19
I am including some discussion question for you to ask.  PS.  In this instance the answer is the sunday school one.  Jesus is the answer.  The name of Jesus is powerful, prayer is powerful!  Jesus is more powerful than anything you and your family come up against weither it is medical, psychological, or spiritual.

I will be talking about how much of the things we are scared of we make up.  

The things on TV are fake

Sometimes what we are dealing with are medical or psychological problems that people have.  

But from time to time there might be a spiritual condition that needs to be addressed.  My goal for the night will be to address all three of these.

1. How did this video make you feel? Were you scared?
2. Why do many humans love to be scared?
3. Do you believe spirits and demons exist today?
4. Do you believe witchcraft, warlocks, Ouija boards, and séances are gateways for demons to work? Why or why not?
5. If there is a spiritual realm, how can you connect more closely with God in your daily life?
6. Have you ever felt supernaturally “attacked”? If so, describe your situation.
7. How does prayer help in your daily walk with God?
8. Have you ever been in a situation that just “felt” wrong—perhaps even a bit evil? If so, how did you respond?
9. Can Satan grip humans’ lives in ways that leaves them paralyzed with fear or paranoia?
10. If demons clearly believed in Jesus’ authority, how does it make you feel when we deny Christ and his word and his authority?
