November 12 - High School
What we’re learning this week:
Have you ever come across a situation or season of life that caused you to ask God, “Where are you?” During this series, we will talk about the life circumstances that cause us to ask questions like this and explore the answers. We will learn that drawing near to in all times is what we were made to do.
Some 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.
Bottom Line: Faith requires faith
Scripture: 1 Kings 19:10-13, Romans 10:17, Hebrews 11:1
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.

We are so thankful for our volunteers who help us serve our 6th-12th grade students! Each week, our leaders arrive an hour before students to learn together about how to better lead their small groups. During this time, they share a meal together (usually just pizza--not the most exciting meal), learn something new, and build community. As a way to say "thank you" to them for pouring into our students, we would like to provide some variety to their meals a few times throughout the year. Below are links, by campus, to sign up to bring part of a meal to the Lifeline volunteers at your campus.
