September 27 - Middle School
What we’re learning this week:
The Bible is a big book and can feel challenging to understand, but did you know it tells one story? During this series, we will look at each major scene of the story and, use the animal that represents that scene as a visual to show our students that they can understand the story of God!
The realities of the broken world we live in are very real. We see the impact of sin around the world, in our households, and in our own hearts. During this teaching, we will explore what God’s people did to pay for their wrong throughout the Old Testament, what Jesus did in paying the price for our sins, and what we can do to respond to Jesus’ death on our behalf.
Bottom Line: Stop trying to manage what Jesus has already erased.
Scripture: Hebrews 10:14-18, John 1:27, Romans 6:23
Small Group Discussion
Series Key Verse: All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. 2 Timothy 3:16a
Review the key verse for the series (we will return to this every week!)
Ask your students the big question! “Did anyone make a decision to follow Jesus for the first time tonight?”
If anyone says “yes!” celebrate as a group and make sure they connect with a campus staff member tonight. We want to help them take their next steps!
Choose 1-3 small group questions to discuss

Close in prayer!
Did you make a decision to follow Jesus for the first time tonight? Share with the group!

Why do you think people try to pretend like they don’t have sin in their life?
Is it easy for you to remember that Jesus has erased your sins? Why or why not?
What can you do to remember the love of Jesus when you sin?
