Youth The Story of the Bible
March 12, 2020
Last night we studied Hebrews 7:22-28, looking at what makes the New Covenant “new,” and furthermore, what the New Covenant reality is for us as Christians. Before getting into Hebrews together, we reviewed the term Covenant – a term we see frequently in the OT. God’s covenants are promises that He makes to mankind, and […]

Last night we spent the evening talking about The Great Commission. In Matthew 28, Jesus gathers his 11 remaining disciples, and He gives them a purpose. Up until this point, in the story of the Bible, it has been all about God. It’s been about God solving the problem of sin and evil in human […]

Firstly, here is a link to a devotional guide for your students to use. I had a couple of students ask me if I’d be willing to create a bible study like the one’s we did at retreat for our devotion times. I’ve done this in the past, but pretty soon, almost none of the students […]

Although I wasn’t at youth group last night to witness all of the happenings, regardless, I know that it was a good night! I had just gotten back from a Pastors Conference last night at 6:30pm, and decided that it would probably be best to not push it and try to engage with the students […]

Last night was a really different night for us, and it was really cool! We hosted 2 other youth groups, and had a joint worship night in which we worshiped in song, sat under the teaching of the word from Zephaniah 3:17, disused application in small groups, and prayed together. It’s a really sweet thing […]

Last night we carried on with our series of “The Story of the Bible” with our last week in the OT! That’s right, we’ve done 13 weeks in the OT… and we’re finally moving into the New Testament! But, it’s been really good. I really want for the students to see that the OT is not […]

Last night we got back into our study on the “the story of the Bible.” We spent a good portion of our time recapping all that we’ve learned from Genesis 1 to 2 Samuel 7. I’m trying hard to keep helping the students to recap, that way we can really trace the story of what’s […]

Last night we celebrated! Plain and simply, we enjoyed each other company, and rejoiced in the good things that God gives us by doing a silly white elephant exchange, opening the “impenetrable gift,” and trying to decorate a tree by throwing ornaments at it. It was a fantastic evening with the students, and a good […]

Last night we went and caroled at the Cascade Inn to about 15 residents who were delighted by our collective voices. It was a really sweet way for the youth group to “be a blessing” and to give of themselves during this holiday season. After spending some time singing, we passed out some Christmas cards […]

Last night was a little bit of a different night at youth group. After starting off with some games, we spent the evening working on some Christmas Caroling songs and writing Christmas cards in order to be a blessing to others this Christmas. Next week, we’ll be sharing these caroling songs, and these Christmas cards with […]
