Pulse Worship in Review: Volume 4 09/23/2011
 Teaching Series: Sweet Relationships (week 2) Title: Buying the Lie: I Am What I Own & Do Lesson in a Sentence: Many times we buy the lie that we are what we do or own, but God reminds us that our value and worth are not based on what the world tells us, but on who he is and what he says about us. Understandable Message: This week we want students to explore some of the lies that we are what we do or that we are what we own. We're told to dress a certain way, to act a certain way in order to be cool. After believing those lies long enough, we identify ourselves by those things. But when we're faced with the truth that comes from God, reminding us of who we are--that we are unique and special to him, that we forever his, and that we’ve too often taken our focus off of him and pursued trivial things like looks, clothes, sports, etc.--we are able to see past the lies of the world and truly live for God. Song(s): Love Came Down (Forever Yours); Foreverandever Etc. Humor/Fun Element: We played a game before hand letting students try on different outfits and costumes as a relay. They were to find all the objects/articles of clothing in a tub to make the outfit complete. Once an adult noted it was complete, they could remove the costume and move on to the next person. In a struggle to go as fast as possible, the highlight moment came when an adult leader had to shout out, “Nope! Your pants are on backwards!” Favorite Moment: This week after the message, students had the opportunity to write out the things that have taken their attention and focus off of God. Those are the things that are often times the things that begin to define us, so by identifying them, students were given the opportunity to release them. After that they were given a chance to place their thumbprint on a cross as a way of reminding them that they are special and forever God’s.
