Do Hard Things!


This term, the High School class will be studying lessons from the book 'Do Hard Things' by Alex & Brett Harris.
On the back of the book the teenage authors have written: Most people don't expect you to understand what we're going to tell you in this book. And even if you understand, they don't expect you to care. And even if you care, they don't expect you to do anything about it. And even if you do something about it, they don't expect it to last. We do.'

This book is written to teenagers and encourages them to 'rebel against low expectations'.


What do you think of when you hear the word 'teenager'? Rude, rebellious, attitude, lazy.

If these are the expectations for our teens, what have they got to work towards?

Over the coming weeks, we want to encourage the High School class to think about the Hard Things in their lives that they are able to accomplish.

This week we will look at the first scary step towards doing hard things - Doing Hard Things That Take Us Out Of Our Comfort Zone!

Please pray that God will move amongst us as we focus on Him for the hour lesson. Pray that God will soften the heart of our students and that He will reveal to them their significance in His plan.

God bless you,
Heather and Melanie
