Midweek 1-15
Tonight we are continuing in our Anchored: Sure and Steadfast study that focuses on helping students remain steady in the face of adversity, and encourages them to grow deeper in their relationship with God. This week is the third lesson in the unit called Jesus. Man, God, or Both?. In this lesson, we are highlighting the Divinity of Jesus. Students should understand that Jesus didn’t earn His divinity by being good or having partial divinity. Jesus is fully God, particularly God the Son.
Lesson Overview: Being in a relationship with Jesus requires knowing Him. And knowing Him means knowing that He is fully God. In this lesson, we will look at Jesus’s answer to a question asked by His disciples, a question that we still think about today.
What We Want Your Student To Learn: That knowing Jesus means believing that He is fully God.
What We Want Your Student To Do With What They’ve Learned: Identify Jesus’s claims of divinity, understand how Jesus displays divinity clearly in Scripture, and seek out ways to share that with others.
Please take some time to read our Scriptures for this week:
John 14:8-11
Matthew 1:18-25
Matthew 14:22-23
John 8:12-20
1 John 5:10-12
Next Steps:
Here’s a few questions to help guide discussion between you and your student!
-Are there any questions that you have about Jesus’s divinity after this week’s lesson? Let’s write them down and find the answers together!
-How does knowing that Jesus’s name, Immanuel, means God With Us impact the way you think about Him?
-Why is it so important for us that Jesus is fully God?
Sunday Morning Small Groups 1-19
This week we are discussing how God calls us to protect the vulnerable. When we scroll through social media, watch the news, or go for a walk through our town, we can’t help but notice those in our world who have unmet needs. As God’s people, we’re not meant to be bystanders on the sideline; we’re meant to be active participants in meeting these needs. This week, we will spend time in both Exodus and Leviticus. The Israelites had been recipients of God’s compassion and generosity, and they were called to respond with compassion and generosity toward others. The Lord made it clear that they had not been freed from their oppression so that they might become oppressors. Together, we will be reminded that we are called and empowered by God to protect the vulnerable.
Please take some time to read our Scripture for this week:
Exodus 22:21-27
Leviticus 19:9-10
Next Steps:
Here’s a few questions to help guide discussion between you and your student!
-How is God’s command in Exodus 22:21 linked to the Israelites’ experience? Why is this important?
-Why is it important to see our resources (our time, skills, or belongings) as things the Lord has given us to bless others?
-How were those in need cared for through the commands in Leviticus 19:9-10?
Thank you for letting us challenge and encourage your student(s) in their walk with Christ each week. Please, don't hesitate to reach out for any reason!
