What we’re learning this week:
There’s a difference between saying yes to Jesus for your salvation and saying yes to Jesus each day. As we near the end of this school year, we want to prepare students for the summer by highlighting what it means to give your life to Jesus every day. This week, we will have a conversation about prayer and encourage students to embrace a habit of kneeling prayer 3 times a day.
*Cascade Campus will hear from student Dante Grossa this week as he unpacks Peter and Jesus’ conversation in John 13-14.
Bottom Line: You need Jesus more than you think you do.
Scripture: Philippians 4:6-7, 1 Corinthians 1:27, John 11
We’re going to ask you to fill out a leader survey at Leader Meeting tonight. This helps us get some info about your experience this year. You can complete that now if you’d like by following the link below:
