February 5 - Middle School

What we’re learning this week:

As we conclude our series about living like Jesus, we will explore the question: What is God’s plan for the world? When Jesus was preparing to go to the cross, he spoke with his disciples and told them that he would send the Holy Spirit. The reality is, the Holy Spirit dwells in the believer to strengthen them and empower them to live the life God has called them to live. Students will be reminded that God desires to use their faith to bring His Kingdom to earth and lead others to Him. So what is God’s plan for the world? It’s His people living in the power of the Holy Spirit

Bottom Line: Your world needs to see authentic faith, and God chose you to show them.
Scripture: John 14:23-27; Acts 1:8

Car ride home questions:

Below are some questions you can ask your student about the teaching tonight as you help them unpack what they’ve been learning.

Is there someone on your mind who does not follow Jesus? What could we do as a family to show them an example of authentic faith?
How close are you to finishing the Walking Like Jesus guide? Do you want me to remind you or do it with you?

Things to know:

We are encouraging our students to bring a physical bible to Lifeline this year! We’re going to be more intentional about opening it up and reading for ourselves as we walk through a teaching. If you our your student need assistance getting a bible, don’t hesitate to talk with our staff!
We have launched a new Grow resource page to help students take practical next steps in areas of their faith. Some are more devotional in nature while others are meant to be a bit more information to help grow their understanding. A student can walk through these alone or it could be something you go through with them. The current topics we have are all available here on our Grow page.
