Social pressure

Middle School is a strange time. Teenagers become so much more incredibly aware of the social systems that seem to govern their perceived status. So much effort starts being put in to maintain a specific image or to try control what people think about them. Is that ultimately possible though? What can we learn from Paul and the so called "Super-Apostles" trying to discredit him in the city of Corinth? What can this ultimately teach us about managing social pressures as a middle schooler two thousand years later?

This week were going to talk about just that. 

Small Group Questions

1. What can we learn from the ways that Paul lived his life outside of just spreading the gospel?

2. Why do you think people in Corinth had a tendency to drawn to the "super-apostles" and away from Paul?

3. Where in your life do you see yourself trying to build a specific image/reputation?

4. What happens when we stop trying to control what people think about us?

    Pressure, it's a challenge that students face that definitely doesn't go away as adults. It's a natural part of life, but it doesn't have to crush us.
