May 7- Middle School
What we’re learning this week:
As 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?
Bottom Line: We follow Jesus to get Jesus.
Scripture: John 6:25-35
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.
What are some of the benefits you feel like you’ve experienced in knowing Jesus?
How do you think we as a family do at thanking Jesus for the good in our lives while still relying on him?
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.
