Elevate Sunday Follow Up - Lesson 51


Dear Parents,
Hello again! We’re continuing on our study the Thread, where we’ve been tracing the Gospel story throughout the Bible. This week’s lesson was a really awesome time of diving into God’s Word. I hope your teenager enjoyed it.
This week, the lesson was entitled “A Revelation, Part 1,” and it focused on helping students understand that even in the description of Jesus in Revelation, we see evidence of the Gospel message, helping students to see that all of Scripture points to Jesus as God, the rescuer of His children. The goal was to lead students to consider how they view Jesus, personally, and whether or not their view of Him is “big” enough.

We looked at the following Scripture passages:
•      Revelation 1:9-20
•      Isaiah 44:6

Next Steps . . .
During the week set aside a few moments to discuss these questions with your teenager:
•      In this week’s lesson, we looked at how the church maintained hope in Jesus in the middle of persecution. Explain to your teenager a time when you were challenged for your faith in Jesus and how you responded.
•      We discussed that throughout the Bible we see that Jesus is both Savior and Lord, and that this truth must change our lives.  Share with your teenager how you seek to personally remind yourself that Jesus is Savior and Lord.

Thank you for all you do. If you have any questions about anything, please don’t hesitate to call me.

Elevate Sunday Follow Up - Lesson 20

Dear Parents, This week in The Thread study, we looked at a new perspective. While we know that God’s grace is the only solution for our sin, it is important that we recognize God desires our obedience. In this lesson, titled “The Rise and Fall of Solomon,” students looked at God’s covenant with Solomon. Just as with generations before him, Solomon learned that God disciplines us when we are disobedient. By comparing Solomon’s story with the words of Jesus, students clearly saw that throughout time God has singularly desired our whole heart! We looked at the following Scripture passages: 1 Kings 1:28-30; 3:4-15; 9:1-9; 11:1-13 John 14:23-24 While the whole story of Solomon is fascinating, these passages will help you see the highlights that were studied. Next Steps . . . During the week set aside a few moments to discuss these questions with your teenager: ·          So, this week you studied how God views obedience....
