FEBRUARY Treasure Seekers - A 4-WEEK BIBLE STUDY
ON A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS
This four-week series is created to help your students
discover the rich value of having a personal relationship with God. The series
is built around short parables Jesus taught about two men who found treasures
and sold everything they had to acquire these valuable things. Your teenagers
will be encouraged to understand that their relationship with God is the best
“treasure” they can have. Our culture encourages young people—and adults—to
pursue such things as popularity, fame, wealth, and success. But chasing these
things instead of pursuing God ultimately will not satisfy our deepest needs.
Lessons include:
Week 1 – Feb 1st:
Searching for True Riches (Matthew 13:44-46)
Week 2: Feb 8th Paying the Price—Because There’s Always a
Cost (Mark 8:34-38) & ” RADICAL
BAND”
Week 3 – Feb 15th :
Recognizing Real Value (Philippians 3:7-9)
Week 4 Feb .29th :
Experiencing the Richest Benefits (Matthew 6:19-21)
MARCH Scandalous - A 4-WEEK SMALL GROUP CURRICULUM ON HOW JESUS SHOOK UP THE
STATUS QUO
Jesus rattled the status quo as he ministered to people.
His words and actions challenged his followers to see the world differently—he
challenged them to see the world from God’s perspective. This series offers
your students a similar challenge. They’ll be encouraged to evaluate their
views on race, status, gender, and religious activity. Jesus shook up his world
in all four of those areas and calls us to continue doing the same today.
This study will awaken students to four deep truths about
God and their subsequent implications for how teenagers are living. These are
not exhaustive studies on these subjects, nor will they answer every question,
but they will get students to begin to think about God and themselves in ways
they don’t normally do.
Lessons include:
Week 1 – Mar .7:
Be Colorblind (Luke 10:30-37)
Week 2 Mar.14 :
Ignore Labels (Matthew 9:9-13)
Week 3 – Mar.21:
Value Men and Women Equally (Luke 8:1-3)
Week 4 – Mar.28:
Focus on Relationship, not Rules and Rituals (Mark 7:1-23)
APRIL Different - A 3-WEEK BIBLE STUDY ON BEING
DIFFERENT
If you have been around church long enough you probably have
heard someone say, “We are called to be different from the world,” or “If we
don't tell people about Christ, how will they ever know we are different?” That
can be a big concept to grasp. Sure, we are supposed to be different, but what
does being different mean? What does it look like? And if we are supposed to be
different, how do we live in the world? This three-week small group study aims
to help students answer those questions.
Lesson include:
Apr.
11 - Different from the World
(Colossians 2:20-23)
Apr. 18 - More than Words (Matthew 5:13-16)
Apr. 25 - Equal
Words, Equal Action (Matthew 7:21-23)
