IN THE WORD THIS WEEK:
- This weeks was an introduction to the book. Look here next week for follow-up discussion questions.
Wednesday Youth Group: This year our lessons will revolve around examining the evidence and claims of Jesus Christ, so that we can know and love Him better, follow Him more faithfully, and boldly share Him with our friends. In our first miniseries, “Break the Bank – Christ Offers All”, we will learn how Christ gave up everything for our sake, and that in Him we have everything to gain.
Lesson 1 – “He Was There All the Time” We learned the importance of the preexistence and eternality of Christ, how this show’s He is God, and how this impacts our salvation and the experience of a new life in Christ.
Memory Verse: John 17:5
For Follow-Up: to discuss with your teen)
