We’ve arrived at our last series of the school year! During this two-week series, we are going to explore what it looks like to bring the hope of Jesus to the world. For our first teaching, we get to hear from the Ada Bible Young Adults director, Sam Schubkegel. What does knowing Jesus look like? It’s like waking up from a dream and realizing real life just started. Once you're awake, you're appointed to wake up others so that we can love and enjoy God together forever.

Jesus is the Resurrection and Life! This week, we revisit the story of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead to learn what Jesus thought about death. In going through this important story of Jesus, students will learn that death has no power over Jesus and that death has no power over those who are in Christ.

These are starting questions to help you guide small group conversations. These questions are created especially for our relationship series so that you can feel confident owning your small group time! This guide also includes terminology and strategies for turning the conversation.

Do you not know exactly how to redirect your students or lay down the law during Small Group time? We are here to help! Whether you are in middle or high school, your students may need a reminder that you are their leader and there are rules at Lifeline. 

There are many crises a student can go through. As their Lifeline leader, you may be one of the first people to know. It is easy to feel intimidated or scared and you want to make sure you say the right thing and know what to do. That is where we are here to help and support you!

Committing to lead students or leaders is a big deal. You are not only a facilitator of discussion, you are an example to others in how you live your life and follow through on your commitments!

As a leader or coach in Lifeline, our students will be looking to you as a role model in how you live as a follower of Jesus. You have a significant opportunity to help students ground their identity in Christ by how you ground your own identity in Christ– not just on Wednesdays or Sundays, but with your whole life.
