This week The Bridge will be talking about "Kingdom of the Narrow-minded".
Consider building your conversation at home this week around these questions:
*What do most people think it means to be a Christian?
*Who do you know in your community that is a good example of someone who walks the narrow way?
*How do you stay humble and at the same time boldly live in a way that you believe is right?

This week, we wrap up our series “Going Rogue: What Jesus Did When He Got Angry and Frustrated.” Most of the times Jesus got angry in Scripture, it was because he was disappointed in the people with whom he was dealing. The couple of times he actually did something to show his anger, he did so in order to make a point or a deep impression. We are left with a lot of verses in the Bible telling us that we should be slow to anger, and when we get angry, to not let it control us. This week, students will discuss how they have a choice when it comes to injustice and oppression in our world: They can decide to shift their energy into making a difference. If they’re angry about something that angers God, they have a responsibility to address it properly.
I encourage you to continue talking with your teenager about what he or she learned this week, to reinforce what students discussed in our group. Here are some questions you can use to create conversation:
- What are the risks of us choosing to seek revenge, instead of leaving that to God?
- Tell me what you think the phrase “righteous anger” means, and how it’s different from the kind of anger we usually think about.
- If you feel passionate about something that angers you, what are some healthy things you can do about it?
This has been a great adventure for our students, and I pray you’ve had some awesome conversations as a family, too. Have a great week!
