Fear

Rev. Mimi

Monsters Inc.

  • Name these characters!

  • Refresh our memory please!

Set Up

Throughout the movie Sully becomes protective of Boo - and decides to risk his career to protect her.

Mike did not agree with this decision...let's watch.

RECAP

What was going on in this video?

Why was Mike so upset?

Did Sully do the right thing?

Was Mike right to be angry?

Is it always easy to do the right thing? Why or Why Not?

Have you ever had to decide between friendships and doing what is right?

Talk about it!

Would you put your friendships, relationships, or even your future on the line to do the right thing?

All Facts, No Copier

Tell us a story of a person who had to make a decision between doing what was right and doing what was easy, socially acceptable, or personally beneficial.

Think Obama vs. Trump or Susan B. Anthony, or Malala

Often times many of these people pushed through to do what was right at great risk to themselves.

Why do you think they did it? Was it only for personal gratification?

Let's see what the bible has to say about this.

Isaiah 1:16-17

16 Wash and make yourselves clean.

Take your evil deeds out of my sight;

stop doing wrong.

17 Learn to do right; seek justice.

Defend the oppressed.

Take up the cause of the fatherless;

plead the case of the widow.

What do you think the first verse means?

16 Wash and make yourselves clean.

Take your evil deeds out of my sight;

stop doing wrong.

Digging Deeper

Now let's get into the second verse a little more...

17 Learn to do right; seek justice.

Defend the oppressed.[a]

Take up the cause of the fatherless;

plead the case of the widow.

What does it mean to "Do Right"

Do Right

How can you be sure that what you are doing is right?

What are some ways you - even at your young age - can "do right"

(not in regards to defending others, or seeking justice - we will get to those later)

Seek & Defend

What does it mean to "Seek Justice"?

Can you seek justice in your everyday life?

School, Church, etc.

Why or Why Not?

How can we defend the oppressed?

Let's Talk

Fatherless & Widows

Why do you think God emphasizes the fatherless and widows in this section?

What would that be equated with today?

How can we help the disadvantaged?

Issa Wrap

  • God calls us to be courageous, and it's not always easy to find that courage when faced with difficult situations or even difficult people

  • But we have to understand that God's plan is greater than our own

  • Because God's plan is greater, tapping into our courage is worth the risk

  • It will all work together for our good!

  • 28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

Romans 8:28 (NKJV)

Where can we find our strength?

What separates us from the BLM Movements.

What do we do when we lose hope?

Psalm 121

A song of ascents.

1 I lift up my eyes to the mountains—

where does my help come from?

2 My help comes from the Lord,

the Maker of heaven and earth.

*Jesus is the key, do you know him*

Even though we don't always know how it will work out - it always does.
