Elevate Student Ministries

  Objective - Students will be encouraged to read and study the Bible which will be fostered by helping them to understand the Bible’s basic structure, how it came to be, and how it lasted through the years. Key Scripture – Hebrews 4:12 Key Thought - Know your spiritual sword. Lesson Summary - Tonight’s lesson was the first lesson in a four-part series called “Swordplay: Wisdom for Wielding the Word.” The four lessons in this series all deal with the Doctrine of the Bible. It was designed to give your students a better understanding of the Bible and how to read and interpret it. We first discussed how we got the Bible.

Our goal was to make sure the students recognized that God values all life, including the unborn. God sees all life as valuable, and not expendable, contrary to what the world would have our students believe. We examined three of the most common, though fundamentally flawed, arguments favoring abortion. We also presented the scientific evidence refuting each of the three arguments.   This subject of abortion brings with it a lot of emotions, especially for those who have had to face it personally; guilt, shame, and grief are all common responses.
