Responsibility wk3

This week in the ROCK & Extreme…

Bible Story: Who Wants to Be a Good Samaritan? (the parable of the good Samaritan) • Luke 10:30-37
Bottom Line: I can be trusted when I choose to help others in need.
Memory Verse: “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much.” Luke 16:10
Virtue: Responsibility—showing you can be trusted with what’s expected of you.
Basic Truth: I should treat others the way I want to be treated.
.

Our Bible story is the Parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:30-37). In this powerful narrative, we see how the people we most expect to be responsible aren’t responsible at all. We’re challenged to be more like the Samaritan, even if we’re busy or have other reasons not to stop and help others.

This week we will expand our focus to look at how we can be more responsible with our actions, in addition to what we do with our stuff and how we use our words. Our Bottom Line is: I can be trusted when I choose to help others in need. Another way to say this is one of our three Basic Truths: I should treat others the way I want to be treated.

Bible Story: Lingo (words matter) • Ephesians 4:29

Virtue: Responsibility—showing you can be trusted with what’s expected of you.
Basic Truth: I should treat others the way I want to be treated.

In this week’s Bible story we’re discovering story that our words matter (Ephesians 4:29). What are you doing to encourage others with your words? We’ll focus on the part of the verse that talks about “building others up according to their needs.” We can become trusted people in the way that we talk to people in addition to using the stuff God gives us to be responsible.

Bible Story: Deal or No Deal (the parable of the talents) • Matthew 25:14-30
Bottom Line: I can be trusted when I make the most of what God has given to me.
Memory Verse: “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much.” Luke 16:10
Virtue: Responsibility—showing you can be trusted with what’s expected of you.
Basic Truth: I need to make the wise choice.
.

This week’s Bible story is the Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25:14-30). This is key for the whole month because it talks about being responsible with our stuff—both our money and our gifting. Everyone’s been given something, so what should you do to best invest it? We’ll see how the worst thing is to sit on it or just save it for later.

Our Bottom Line is: I can be trusted when I make the most of what God has given to me. When we bury our stuff, we seem to be afraid. People waste their lives and what they’ve been given when they don’t trust God enough to let Him work through them with the abilities He gave them in the first place. When we are responsible, we can become trusted people.
