In Acts 28, Paul is shipwrecked on Malta, bitten by a snake, and immediately judged by the people around him; first as evil, then as a god. In this teaching we see that people’s opinions can change quickly, whether they are criticizing us or praising us, but neither should define who we are. Instead of letting hate discourage us or hype fill us with pride, we should let Jesus define us and keep faithfully following Him.
Read MoreThis week we are having baptism at Lifeline! There are 87 middle school students being baptized. We are so excited to celebrate these students taking the next step on their faith journey.
Read MoreDuring 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.
Read MoreTonight 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.
Read MoreWe hope everyone has a wonderful break and we look forward to coming back together on April 15 for Bella Vista + Middle School and on April 19 for High School. When we get back, we only have 5 weeks left of Lifeline for the year so we encourage everyone to commit to these last few weeks as we finish out the year strong!
Read MoreBeing 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.
Read MoreTonight, 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
Read MoreTonight 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.
Read MoreLifeline is not meeting this week as our church hosts the ReCourage Conference and has the opportunity to serve over 1,100 people from local churches and non-profits. Our regular programming will resume the following week on Wednesday, March 11.
Read MoreThis 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…
Read MoreWe 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.
Read MoreLife 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.
