Y.O.L.O. Week 1
1. If you only have 24 hours to live, how will you spend it?
2. What is one thing that you plan to do before you die?
3. What is your favorite video game? Why?
Psalm 90:12 Teach us how short our life is, so that we may become wise. (GNT)
Life is not like a video game in which we can restart every time we lose. We only have one life to live; therefore we ought to make it count. While it is impossible to cruise through our years without making mistakes, it is possible to live life to the fullest. So how do we do that? The first step is to discover where our life comes from.
1. God is the source of life
Genesis 2:7 7the LORD God formed the man[a]from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.
We are not mere products of random chance. The beauty and intricacy of all creation proves that there is an Intelligent Designer behind it all. Cast a gaze at the night sky and see the splendor of the stars then judge for yourselves if a chance collision of gases really did start it all. Take a glimpse at the little engine that is the human brain and ponder if evolution really is capable of fashioning such a powerful organ. As it is, it takes more faith to believe that the universe “just happened” than to believe that God created it.
2. God gives us a full life
John 10:10 10The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
We often engage in meaningless and harmful activities, hoping that by doing them we can live life to the full. But the truth is, apart from God we will always be incomplete. If God is our Creator, only He can give us a full life. It is by truly knowing Jesus can we truly know what our life is all about. All of us want to live life to the fullest. For us to achieve this, we have to understand that God is the real source of life and He alone has the ability to empower us to live our lives to the full.
1. What are the things that you do that you think are hindering you from fully experiencing that full life the God has for us?
2. What are the mindsets that you have that were changed based from the things that were mentioned? What is that new mindset that you have right now?
3. Do you think you are living your life to the full? Why or why not?
1. What are the things that you need to stop/start doing so that you can experience your life to the full?
2. What do you think God is telling you to do immediately so that He can empower you?
3. In what area in your life right now do you think is not being maximized? What are you going about it?
1. Pray for more of God in our lives and less of us.
2. Pray for the grace to be able to do things for God and also stop doing the things that hinders us for fully experiencing God.
3. Pray for opportunities to share life to people and the same time the boldness to do it.
