  1. Kingdom living at school

  2. School is not first (Matt. 6:33) • Christians are to “seek first God’s kingdom and His righteousness before ALL else. • What does being obsessed with Christ look like in each area of my life?

  3. Beware of false teachers (Matt. 7:15-20). • “children tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes” (Eph. 11:14). • What is our defense? Our knowledge and skill within God’s Word leading to wise application. Examine the fruit of every teacher.

  4. Reputation versus character • Love, Joy, Peace, Goodness, Kindness, Faithfulness, Patience, Self-Control, Gentleness, Discipline, Compassion, Sympathy, Persistence, Honesty, Loyalty, etc. • Make EVERY decision in our lives based on our Jesus Christ character traits. • “We must obey God rather than men” (Acts 3-4; 4:19; 5:29). • Our identity is in Christ; not earthly labels and groups (Gal. 5:28).

  5. Be Salt and Light (Matt. 5:13-16). • No “poor me” • Stack gratitude. Write a list. Pray and thank God! • No complaining • “Do all things without grumbling or disputing…among whom you shine as lights in the world (Phil. 2:14-15). • “cast all your anxieties [pray] on Him” (1 Peter 5:6-7) • Bring enthusiasm and passion every day • Vision-oriented • “Where there is no vision, the people perish” (Prov. 29:18a KJV)

  6. Receive God’s grace • Realize you need a Savior (Acts 2:37) • Believe that Jesus is the Son of God (John 3:16) • Repentance (change your heart/mind from sinfulness to obeying God [Acts 17:30]) • Confess Jesus is the Lord (Romans 10:9) • Ask God for mercy and forgiveness by faith in God through immersion in water (baptism) (Acts 2:38; 1 Peter 3:21)
