Lesson 6
Investment (Part 1)
Taking Ownership of Their Place Within the Church
The second area that must be developed in order for our children to keep the faith is investment. They must take ownership of their place within the body of Christ. To do this, adults must learn to be effective mentors.
Years ago, I wrote the following poem to illustrate the journey a mentor and student must take in order to experience a partnership in investment.
To Be a Great Mentor
A mentor can do many things,
To show the worth his vision brings.
With eloquence he can explain,
In speech or song with sweet refrain.
But often words cannot embrace,
The vision he’s seen face to face.
He needs a way to show them more,
He wants to make their spirit soar.
When mentors want their vision caught,
Sometimes the best way it is taught
Is not with props or fancy talk,
But invitation for a walk.
They reach the place to see the view,
The teacher takes position new.
The two now stand there side by side,
The leader is no longer guide.
With open hand he points ahead,
To lessons that are best unsaid.
As mentor he’s thought very wise,
‘Cause students see with open eyes.
In order for young people to make a lasting investment in the church, they must find a functional place within the body. The lessons that will follow contain a quick study of Romans 15:1-6 followed by a study of several expressions of worship. After each biblical example, there are questions to help young people identify their functionality within that area. Be the teacher described in the poem above by taking young people to these passages and letting them discover their own function and, thereby, helping them make an investment within the church. Until next time, take time to prepare yourself by reading Romans 15:1-6 and answering the questions for this lesson.
Romans 15:1-6 (NKJV)
We then who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of the weak, and not to please ourselves. Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, to edification. For even Christ did not please Himself; but as it is written, “The reproaches of those who reproached You fell on Me.” For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope. Now may the God of patience and consolation grant you to be like-minded toward one another, according to Christ Jesus, that you may with one mind and one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. *
