Week 23: Sermon on the Mount/2nd Step

We had a wonderful chapel service this week where Mr. Stock looked at anger and how God empowers us to not allow anger to lead into sin (imagine not opening a shaken soda can).  In 2nd Step, over the last few weeks we have been  exploring bully situations and looking at the difference between bullying the sometime "mean moments" we have as sinful people.  We have identified face to face vs behind the back bullying and role played scenarios.   We talked about how the devil would love to tear our relationships apart, yet God gives us the Holy Spirit to empower us to make good choices, to love our neighbor and our enemy, to turn the other cheek and to reconcile with one another (read the Sermon on the Mount in Matt. 5:5-7) - to be kind and forgiving. 

Here was the video I shared this week with a few tips to help a student feel more in control in a bully situation .  The kids really enjoyed it!
