Lesson

**Why is it critical that theology matters in student ministry?**

-  Everything is theological. 
- We need to know what we believe and why we believe it.
  - When we engage in theology, we are studying and thinking about God.
  - Without the Gospel in youth ministry, you’re nothing but a community center.

**Theology you need to teach your students:**

-  *The Word of God*
   - the bible is inspired by God 
   - it is authoritative (if this is not authority, then their authority is their feelings)

-  *Who is God?*
   - He is their father 
   - He is the creator 
   - He is all knowing and all powerful

-  *Who is Jesus?*
   - He is the only son of God 
   - He is the only way to God 
   - He was fully man

-  Who is mankind?
   - They are created in the image of God
   - They are sinners in need of a Savior

-  *Understand theology on sin*

-  *Theology on sexuality*
   - This will be a make or break on Christianity for some students 
   - Balanced scriptural theology, “convicted civility”

- **Other theologies that matter:**
  - *Theology on the church.*
  - *Theology on the afterlife.*
  - *Theology on Hell.*

- One trend that’s positive is youth ministers are going back to a biblical view of things and they are diving into scripture more.

- The theology of a youth worker is ultimately more important than their strategy.

- All we do relates to what we actually believe.
