Small Groups: Sunday, February 3rd

Hey parents of rbcstudents! We so enjoyed spending our SuperBowl Sunday with all of your students yesterday!  To recap the morning, we got the opportunity to dig into Exodus 32 with your students.  We talked about how we often tend to lose patience and instead of waiting for the answer, we try to figure things out on our own.  We gave an example about how we do this with new and exciting gadgets.  Maybe you got an iPhone for Christmas... did you pull the phone out of the box, set it aside, and reach for the instructions? NO! You pulled the phone out, turned it on, and started trying to figure it out on your own.  Then when you had a problem with it, did you pull out those dusty instructions to find the answer? NO! You jumped on Google or YouTube to see if someone else had figured it out on their own. We never take the time to just read through instructions, which we KNOW have the answers... instead we take a few clues and try to piece everything together.  We often do this when listening to God.  Instead of waiting for the answer to something, which we KNOW He'll give us, we decide to try and piece clues together and just figure it out on our own.

rbcstudents Small Groups- Sunday, January 27th

We had a great Sunday this past week at rbcstudents.  We finished our "Entitled" series by talking to your students about where we find our contentment.  We saw some crazy (as well as disgusting) examples of different items people find contentment in.  We, as believers, should find our contentment in Christ, as well as encourage others to do so.  We often find our contentment in earthly things--whether it be in our friends, our grades, our family, etc...  If we're searching for contentment in things of the world, we will be constantly disappointed.  The only place we can find true contentment that will not fade or disappoint is in our Savior. 

We also had our Parent Party on Sunday evening.  Thank you to everyone who came out and joined in!  If you couldn't make it and are wanting information that we covered at the Parent Party, please email me at Kate@ridgecrestbaptist.org

rbcstudents small groups, Sunday January 20, 2013

Hey all,
we had a great day with rbcstudents yesterday!  We are in week 3 of our series called "Entitled," dealing with the concept of feeling entitled to certain things.  We all struggle with this, and at its root, it is just plain selfishness.  In yesterdays lesson, we talked about the difference between confidence in our flesh, and confidence in God. We looked at Philippians 3, where Paul talks about his own reasons to feel confident, and yet, he gave it all up to find his confidence in Christ.  Take some time to read that passage...its a challenging one!  Have a great week!
