Are we content even
when our youth
group never grows?

Materials
Obtain baby pictures of
different people in the
groups. Allow participants
to attempt to identify the
various people by their
baby pictures.

Application
Parent’s have great
expectations for their
children. Every child is a
bundle of potential. As
they grow and mature,
they discover their
abilities and ultimately
their place in life.

A youth group, in many
ways is like a baby. It
starts out small, and it
doesn’t know its abilities
or where it fits into
God’s picture, but as it
grows and matures, God
has a plan for it. If it a
baby did not grow and
mature we would be
very concerned, but we
seem content that our
youth group never
grows.

We must realize, a
youth group cannot
survive separated from
the family of God any
more than a baby can
survive separated from
it’s family. And as a
baby grows, it’s identity
is shaped by its family.

Discussion
1. So where does the
group fit into the family
of God? In what ways
can it grow and
mature? What is it’s
potential? What is
God’s plan for it?”
