During Sunday school, since we have come back in 2023, we have been learning about the Life of Jesus and so far we have covered:
Session 1: Jesus was born–Why it was important that He came the way that He did
Session 2: Jesus was dedicated–He was set apart so that all of the rest might be done
Session 3: Jesus was baptized–He was affirmed as being God the Son
Session 4: Jesus was tempted–He experienced what it was like to be like us
Session 5: Jesus called His disciples–He called people who were unlikely
We will continue to focus on the life and ministry of Jesus throughout the spring as well.
During Youth Group we have spent time learning and working through the following:
A 4-week series about resilience – what it takes to follow God when times get tough.
Series Bottom Line: How hope changes everything – placing our hope in Jesus
WEEK 1: Resilience helps us never give up – Examples from the life of Paul
WEEK 2: Never give up on God – In this world there will be trouble, but God has overcome the world
WEEK 3: Never give up on others – Walking their lives of faith with others
WEEK 4: Never give up on you – Even when you fall, God is there
Students spent time sharing with one another about the challenges they face and committed to supporting one another when hard times come.
And
A 3-week series about prayer
Series Bottom Line: The right way to pray – How Jesus taught us to pray
WEEK 1: Prayer connects you to God – His promise is that He is near to us
WEEK 2: Prayer isn’t about the words you say, but the way you pray – Not big fluffy prayers, but real ones that come from a humble place.
WEEK 3: Ash Wednesday – The Experience: 6 Different Prayer exercises that help us connect with God
Students spent time sharing with one another about the difficulties they encounter when they try to pray and looked inwards as they did the prayer exercises on Ash Wednesday.
