Youth Tomorrow Night // 6:45 PM in the Sr High Room
For the lesson this Wednesday, we are continuing onward in our “Matter Matters” series, this time looking at the topic of “Rightly Identifying Our Body“. In this lesson, we will give a biblical overview of how the body relates to my identity. The central point from this lesson: “You are a body…but you’re not only a body.”
We will look at Genesis 2, where it clearly lays out in Scripture that your physical body is an integral part to who you are, making your body more than an object. Your body IS you. This teaching has massive implications for areas such as substance abuse, transgenderism, and so on.
We will then turn to 1 Samuel 16 to see that though my body is me, it’s not the only part of me. I’m more than a physical body, and so are you. This perspective keeps us from idolizing our bodies or making broad assumptions about people based on their looks, and influences our conversations in areas like eating disorders, racism and so on.
Some questions for this week could include:
-
If you were to choose one or the other, would you say you give no thought to your physical body or too much?
-
What are dangers in treating our bodies as mere objects, and not as parts of ourselves? What are dangers in idolizing our physical bodies?
-
What stood out to you in this lesson that you hadn’t considered before or needed reminding?
-
How could this lesson apply to your life this week?
