Parents, as promised, here is the outline of my talk last night at Edge for you.
Tonight was the intro of Edge for the year and the introduction to our series called "Unbroken."
Here are a couple key points and take aways from the night.
1. Your life compared to eternity is like a mist. (James 4:14)
I used 2 illustrations for this point. You can ask your son/daughter about them. One involved my grandpa being in a movie and the other involves toilet paper. That is all I will say.
2. Since our lives are nothing compared to eternity this life is not about us, but this life is all about God. He is the main character.
From the beginning of creation to the time when everyone bows down to worship God, this whole story, this whole life is all about God.
3. Since this life is all about God, than wouldn't you want to make the very short time you have all about God.
4. Unbroken overview
I finished tonight by giving the overview of the Unbroken series that will happen over the next few weeks. It's this: God created us to reflect his image and have perfect relationship with Him, sin broke it and now all of us aren't living as we intended to live, but God did something so amazing...He made a way to get us back in that relationship.
That's the story for last night!
LATE NIGHT CHALLENGE
I also challenged students to invite their friends to the Late Night and to Edge throughout this month because the gospel story we are telling is not just for them, it's for everyone and they need to hear it. Help me challenge your son and daughter in this!
