Grasping Your Past, Grabbing Your Future By Kent d Curry Every year we ask our College and Career Sunday school class to fill out the sheets below, one an inventory of the previous year, the other a dream planner. Jesus said, “For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it? Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him, Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish” (Luke 14:28-30). If we’re to accomplish more for Him, we need to understand where we’ve been and what we’re aiming for. These sheets create that moment in a non-confrontational manner. It’s great fun asking students to share some answers (of their choice) with everyone else. It builds faith.
