I'm currently going through a 3-week series with our students called "i <3 u" (I Heart You). Through the series, which I created, we're dealing with love, sex, and dating.
Here's a quick overview:
Week 1 - Love.
The focus this night is asking the age-old question, "What is love?" Ultimately we will learn that God is love (1 John 4:16) and His love is most clearly seen in the life and death of Jesus (1 John 3:16). Making God your reference point for what love is will impact every relationship in your life as you seek to live and love like Jesus did!
Week 2 - Sex.
This night we'll be splitting the guys and the girls up after worship to tackle the tough topic of sex. The girls have a special guest speaker (our local FCA area director, Rebecca Pierce) and will talk about purity, while I'll be taking the guys and looking at what the Bible has to say about sex (is sex really bad?).
Week 3 - Dating.
We'll talk about what dating is, what it isn't, and what it should be. Ultimately, however you define the word "dating" and whatever your dating life looks like, it should bring glory to God (1 Cor. 10:31). We'll also talk about establishing boundaries and making sure that you don't give away too much of yourself in dating so that one day you can give your best to your spouse.
That's it - I'm super-excited about this series and LOVE talking to students about these issues.
Do you talk about love, sex, and dating with your students? How often?
