connected with people, illustrated deep truths, and transformed those who heard
and understood them. This series explores six of Jesus’ parables and connects
them to the lives of today’s youth. Your students will be challenged to
evaluate their own hearts in light of what they learn from these stories. In

stories Jesus told. And it’ll be simple for you to set up each one, as all the
teaching and discussion materials you need are included.

An Insider's View of Jesus : Video-Driven
Discussions on Real Discipleship
HIGH SCHOOL & MIDDLE SCHOOL
What would it feel like if Jesus had called
you to be a disciple? Serious business? A laughing matter? A bewildering
succession of mysteries and miracles? It was all this and a lot more, as you'll
discover in these stunning performances by actor/comedians Ted and Lee. This
comprehensive curriculum turns 12 skits into meaningful lessons for your youth
group. Ted and Lee's portrayals of disciples Peter and Andrew give viewers a
new and realistic sense of what it must have been like for real people to encounter
the Man of Galilee. Through laughs and tears, An Insider's View of Jesus serves
youth workers who want to help their students understand and grow closer to the
true, biblical Jesus. This video curriculum presents 12 lessons, each comprised
of two parts: 1) a 3-10 minute comedy or drama sketch of the biblical
characters Peter and Andrew interacting with Jesus; and 2) a written lesson for
the youth leader, based on that particular gospel story.

“They will know we are Christians by our love.” Eight more verses and you’d

in.

learned.

Elijah
A 4-WEEK BIBLE STUDY ON ELIJAH
MIDDLE SCHOOL & HIGH SCHOOL
Elijah was a great man and a great prophet.
He performed miracles, followed God’s commands, and preached about God. His
life has a lot to teach us. This series will look at four stories from his life
and help your teenagers learn more about themselves in the process. Looking at
two of Elijah’s successes—his confidence in God on Mount Carmel and his
lifelong service to God—will challenge your teenagers to follow his example.
But we also will look at two major struggles Elijah faced: being afraid of
Jezebel and feeling lonely. These stories can teach your teenagers about
following God during tough times.
By looking at how Elijah dealt with and reacted to the situations around him,
your teenagers will gain a better understanding of how they can respond.
Lessons include:
Week 1 - He Was Confident in God (1 Kings
18:16-39)
Week 2 - He Battled Fear (1 Kings 19:1-8)
Week 3 - He Battled Loneliness (1 Kings
