What Are You Full Of?

Key Scripture:"For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks." — Luke 6:45

Lesson Summary

Today, students explored how what fills our hearts affects what comes out in our words and actions.

Main Points:

• Heart = Cup: Whatever fills your heart will spill out in your life.

• Object Lesson: A cup filled with water spills water, not soda—what’s inside is what comes out.

• Bible Connection: Luke 6:45 shows that anger, kindness, encouragement, or gossip comes from what’s inside our hearts.

• Takeaway: While we can’t control every situation, we can control what fills our hearts. Filling up on God leads to words and actions that reflect Him.

Discussion Questions for Home

Use these questions to talk with your teen about the lesson:

1. If your life were a drink, what would it be right now? Why?

2. What do you notice usually spills out of you when life gets stressful?

3. When you spend time with God, how does that affect what comes out of you?

4. How do positive friendships and encouraging content help you stay “full” of good things?

5. What are some ways you could fill your heart with God this week?

Application Challenge

• Reflect: Ask your teen: “What would people say you’re full of based on your words this week?”

• Act: Encourage them to choose one thing this week to “fill up” on God—reading the Bible, listening to worship, prayer, or encouraging a friend.

Share: At the end of the week, talk together about how that choice affected what “spilled out” of them.
