During this teaching, we will explore 2 key reasons God often seems difficult to find. Students will be challenged to consider what idols they have in their lives and what values their closest friends reinforce. Students will be encouraged that God very much wants to be found by them as they read His Word and get to know who He is.

Tonight we will learn how to share our faith by observing one of the greatest to ever do it: Paul! In Acts 13, Paul stands up in the synagogue and clearly explains the story of God from Moses to Jesus. In observing Paul’s tactics, we will see that Paul models evangelism in three ways: He knows the Word, he knows the people, and he knows the worth of Jesus. Students will be encouraged to embrace these things as they look to share the good news of Jesus to others.

Being young can sometimes make you feel like you have to wait until later in life to really matter, but the Bible teaches something different. In 1 Timothy 4:12, Paul reminds the young leader, Timothy, not to let others look down on him because of his age, but to set an example in speech, conduct, love, faith, and purity. Our ability to make a difference doesn’t come from believing in ourselves, but from belonging to Jesus and being shaped by Him.

Tonight, we will look at the question, “Who does God love?” through the Parable of the Prodigal Son in Luke 15 and see that God’s love is bigger than we expect and more gracious than we deserve. Jesus shows us that the Father welcomes both the rebellious and the self-righteous, not because they’ve earned it, but because He is compassionate and eager to restore what was lost. God loves everyone, and His invitation is for each of us to come to Him humbly, whether we feel far away or think we’ve done everything right.

Tonight we will focus on what it looks like to live out faith in everyday life—especially at school and in our everyday relationships. Students are being invited to see faith not as something to perform or perfect, but as something that slowly shapes how we treat people, handle conflict, and make choices, even when it feels awkward or hard.

This week, Luke will explore answers to the question: Why do I keep sinning? Many students struggle with the same reality that Paul processes: We love Jesus and want to do what is right, yet we choose sin! Luke will remind students that…

We will open our new series by affirming that honest questions about faith are not a weakness, but a normal and healthy part of following Jesus. Through Thomas’s question at the Last Supper in John 14, we see that Jesus welcomes curiosity and responds with clarity, identifying Himself as the way, the truth, and the life. Jesus meets us in our confusion and uncertainty, inviting us to stay close to Him rather than having everything figured out. Ultimately, faith isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about choosing trust and relationship with Jesus while we ask our questions.

Life often feels overwhelming when we try to keep everything under control, but Jesus invites us to come to Him for rest. Throughout the Bible, Sabbath teaches us to stop striving and trust that God is in control. That rest is ultimately found in Jesus, who is gentle, trustworthy, and cares for us.

This week we are talking about creating a rhythm for reading your Bible more regularly! We will spend time talking about some of the benefits of reading your Bible, while also giving students a few helpful tools that they can use while reading (SOAP method, etc)! It is our hope that students see the benefits of reading their Bibles and connecting with their Creator, and make an effort to start a habit of reading their Bible daily!
