As we end the year, this week we are looking back on the Lifeline year. We have learned a lot about what it means to walk like Jesus. If we are going to proclaim Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, how can we begin to live our lives in a way that reflects his character? There will be a time for students to reflect as well as open mic time for them to share.

Read MoreAs we end our “Self Portrait” series, this week’s conversation is about why we follow Jesus. Some of the early fans of Jesus were following him around because they thought he could give them more bread or be the political hero they were looking for… but Jesus tells them that HE is the bread of life. Jesus challenged their motivation for following him in a way that causes us to think: Why do I follow Jesus?
Read MoreThis week we continue our final series of the school year, How to Save the World by getting practical about sharing our faith. Many of us assume the people around us have heard about Jesus, but the truth is, unless someone tells them, they may never really know. We’ll discuss the two big reasons we don’t share our faith: fear of rejection and feeling unprepared. The good news? We already have what we need—our own story of what Jesus has done for us. We’ll end tonight by practicing how to share that story clearly and confidently.

Read MoreWe’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?

Read MoreOne of the most well known titles of Jesus is that he is the “Light of the World” While many have seen this to be true in their own life with the joy, direction, and fulfillment that he has brought them; there are still many who look at him and reject him: why? This week, we will look at two reasons people reject Jesus’ light and take an honest look on if we are truly embracing the light that Jesus brings.
Read MoreDuring a moment where his disciples felt lost, worried, and fearful of what was going to happen to them once He left them, Jesus tells His disciples that He is the way, the truth, and the life. These are important identifiers for us today because we often enter different seasons of life where we are searching for the way to go, a truth to hold on to, or fulfillment in life. Middle School students will be challenged to remember who Jesus says he is when these moments happen!

Read MoreHow do you grow as a follower of Jesus? How can I prioritize God instead of worldly things? How can I overcome temptation in my life? These are among the many questions that were asked when we surveyed students in January.
