As leaders, we should always be growing and sharpening our skills so that we can better minister to students. One of the ways that we can do exactly that is to learn best practices in leading a small group. 

The true Gospel sets us free. We are no longer slaves like we were before. The question is do we understand how free we are? Do we understand what it means to be set free from sin, selfishness, and meaningless divisions? 

Idolatry is a sin that the nation of Israel dealt with time and time again as they worshiped false gods such as Baal. It is easy for us today to assume that because we do not worship false gods in temples that idolatry is a thing of the past. Nothing could be further from the truth. Instead, idolatry is alive today because just like Israel we worship things other than God. The question is what are they?

To be a Christian is to be a believer and follower of Jesus. But how are we following Jesus in our day-to-day lives? In other words, in order to follow Jesus and model our lives after him we must do what? I believe one of the key answers to that question is serving. To follow Jesus we must serve.

Every believer has been empowered by the Spirit and gifted by God to fulfill the mission of the Church. Our goal in this series is to help students see this is true. They have unique gifts and abilities that they are called to use for the glory of God.

Many view doctrine as something that is only important for pastors. Nothing could be further from the truth. What we believe matters. This is why Paul told young Timothy to watch his doctrine closely (1 Tim 4:16).
