Session 6 - Max Out in Excellence (Sarah White)

Sarah shared with us from one of her favorite books of the Bible, Daniel. We looked at the story of when King Nebuchadnezzar had the "best" of the Israelite young men brought into his service. One of these men was Daniel and he chose to honor the Lord (and seek excellence) by requesting NOT to eat the King's food (even though it was probably some really great food!).

Because God is excellent and we are made in His image, we too should work towards being excellent...And not just excellent in the things we LIKE, but also in the things we DON'T like!

Sarah had us write different areas of our lives on a notecard and check off ones in which we're already excellent...Next, we circled the ones that we need to improve or we're bored with or that we just flat out don't like. These are the ones to be worked on...These are the ones we're seeking God about and working to make a plan to become excellent!




The Answers:

1. Deoxyribonucleic acid (This was opened up to any student...Who knew it without hesitation?? Devaughn!)

2. Verses (They all knew this but Haley was the quickest with her flashlight!)

3. Eddie Murphy (Josh loves him some Donkey!)

4. An ear of corn! (This one took an acted out clue but Meghan scored!)

5. A pillow (Sounds comfy!)

6. Time on the toilet! (Haley was close with taking a shower but Josh was right on!)

7. 5 and a half years! (And loving every minute!)

8. The RED text! Jesus' words! (Meghan's been paying attention for sure!)

9. Albany (No, Haley, it's not New York...Maybe Josh can help you out!)
