WEEK 4

Goodness & Faithfulness

The message this week, will help our students to understand that these two fruit of the spirit are reflective of what it means to be a Christ follower.

Next Steps . . .

As you go through this week with your student(s), look for instances to create some dialogue based on the theme of this lesson. Consider discussing the

following questions or concepts:

Read: 2 Peter 1:5-6 and Matthew 25:21

Ask: What is true goodness?
Ask : What is true faithfulness?

Ask : Does your faith place God as the first priority in my life? How?

Ask : What obstacles are there to my faithfulness? Why do I have difficulties trusting God?

Apply It : What areas of my life are not completely faithful to God? How can I change them?
