Content

The content of what God says when He speaks will revolve around Jesus in these two areas: the Life of Jesus lived out and the Mission of Jesus continued.

John 17:17-18
Sanctification - becoming more like Jesus
- our behavior begins to match our position (forgiven, complete, loved)

conviction > discontentment with sin
foundation > discernment and wisdom
maturity > handling things better

How is God setting Christ-following teenagers apart? what do you hope for in your future when it comes to following Jesus?
