Efficient Message Usage in Ascent

Another thing that’s tough is these messages have been given to high school and 7th/8th grade students in the past so tailor making a message for tweens is a little tough. In the end I think the group will be very receptive. We have some great illustration like this one which comes from Proverbs 23:4-5 – Do not wear yourself out to get rich; have the wisdom to show restraint. Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone, for they will surely sprout wings and fly off to the sky like an eagle.
