Big Idea of the Series: “Streak” will encourage your students to create routines that matter. On social media, a “streak” is when users are active for days in a row. Will we create “streaks” in our own pursuit of discipleship and sanctification?

Week 1 Bible Reference:  Hebrews 5:11-14, 1 Timothy 4:7-8

Topic: Spiritual Growth is a Discipline

Big Idea of the Message: Spiritual growth comes from intentional development. 

Application Point: BE INTENTIONAL ABOUT SPIRITUAL GROWTH.  Develop a weekly discipline of personal time with God (prayer, worship, Bible).  7 Day Streak.

Key Statement:

• MS: The better I know God personally the better I can follow Him intimately.
• HS: My present decisions will determine my future destination.

ICE BREAKER:  What have you ever trained or practiced at to get better? (sports, music, other)
