We finished up our Wednesday night series entitled "Identity" by taking a look at the labels that we sometimes place on others. We discussed how if labeled a certain way over and over again, that is the image that they begin to see in the mirror, so we need to be careful in regards to the way that we talk to and about people.
We also talked about how the labels we can place on people can tarnish the fact that they are created in the image of God (Genesis 1:27). We also encouraged the students to examine their speech towards others in light of how Paul encourages us to speak in Ephesians 4:29.
Here are some questions you might want to use as you talk
with your teenager about this week's lesson:
Why does it seem to come so
naturally to label people?
What are some of the ways you
have seen people labeled?
How are some of the ways that you
have been labeled?
How have you been guilty of
labeling someone?
