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.
