How you dress says a lot about how you feel about yourself and who you represent.
Talking Points:
- Sometimes we get caught up in trying to dress like the trends we see on social media and out in the world. We dress in order to fit in with the crowd and to be a reflection of the current culture.
- Modesty doesn’t always have to be about what you’re wearing, but what you’re representing. Be a reflection of Jesus Christ. Focus on being clothed with strength, joy and praise. Ephesians 4:21-24
- At the end of the day, how we dress is about knowing what we want to reflect, who we want to represent, and who we are. It’s letting go of a worldly mindset and replacing it with a Kingdom mindset. Romans 12:1-2
Discussion:

- Do you think modesty in dress matters? Explain.
- What do you think your fashion choices say about you? What do you want people to think about you?
- Read Ephesians 4:21-24. What can we do each day to be clothed in strength, joy, and praise? Who is someone you know who reflects those attributes?
- People usually think of modesty with how it relates to girls and women. Do you think this is a principle that is equally important for men? What would modesty entail for boys your age?
- Read Romans 12:1-2. How does this passage challenge you in terms of your actions and even the way you dress?
- Is there a step you need to take based on today’s topic?
