During this week of High School Lifeline, students and volunteers at each campus will spend most of the evening in prayer. Lifeline staff will walk the campus through a variety of different prayer exercises and practices to spend time with God as a Lifeline community. We are focusing our night on prayer because we don’t want to take for granted the privilege of getting to know the God who made us and loves us!
Read MoreAs we conclude this series, we will look at a few of the last scenes of his life all the way to his passing. Right before Jacob dies, he takes time to bless his children and tell them of God’s goodness. In fact. This is the very thing that Jacob is honored for in the New Testament. Jacob’s blessing to his sons shows us that in the ups and downs of our journey, we will be imperfect, but we can tell the story of the perfect God.
Read MoreSome people talk about encountering God’s presence in power and it can cause us to wonder, “Is something wrong with me?” or “why don’t I feel God in THAT way?” Comparing our experiences with others can cause us to wonder, “Where is God when I don’t feel His presence?” During this conversation, students will be reminded that while there are times God communicates in tangible and powerful ways, He also invites us on a journey of having faith, even when He seems far.

Read MoreAs we continue the story of Jacob, we witness one of the most bizarre scenes in his whole story: When he wrestled with God. When we walk through the story, we will see what happens when this man encounters God: He is given a new identity and is changed forever; why? Because God chose weakness to allow Jacob to be victorious. In the same way, God became weak by dying on the cross to redefine us and change us forever.

Read MoreDuring this next portion of Jacob’s life we find him on the run, fearful for his life and separate from the community. This is what sin does within our stories, it leads to division and separation within our relationships, both with people and God.
