LEading Students to know and follow JEsus

Whoever you are, everyone is welcome at First Students! First Students gives 7th-12th grade students the opportunity to get connected with a group of people their own age who are growing closer to the Lord each day. We want to see students know and follow Jesus Christ! First Students is a place for teenagers to deepen their relationship with Christ while simultaneously growing their relationships with others!

Bible Study

Sundays from 9:30 -10:30 AM every week!

Our Sunday morning Bible study is one of the best opportunities for us to dig deep into God's word as a group. We go through Bible passages verse by verse, discussing how the content can apply to our own lives. We are currently studying the Gospel of Mark.

Midweek

Every Wednesday from 6 to 8 PM!

Midweek is always exciting and is the best opportunity for students to get plugged in and build relationships with other students! We play lots of fun games, eat food, worship, and look at some Scripture together. After the message, we split up into small groups to discuss the message and pray with each other!

Next Steps:
Here’s a few questions to help guide discussion between you and your student!
-How does learning about God’s goal for the battles in Joshua help you know God better?
-Why is it important that Jesus made a way for sin to be forgiven? What does that mean for those who have faith in Him?
-This week’s anchor statement is “God conquers sin and wickedness so that His people may dwell with Him in safety and peace.” What does it look like for you to dwell with God in safety and peace?

Sunday Morning Small Groups 3-9
This week we are continuing our study in 1 Peter, discussing how Jesus’s followers are called to holy living. How do you treat something that is valuable to you? Whether it’s a pair of sneakers, a family heirloom, or a brand new gadget, we treat things that are special to us with a great amount of care. Even the mere thought of mistreating or purposefully messing up these items may make some of us cringe. In this week’s passage. Peter reminds believers that we have been redeemed by the blood of Jesus. We are valuable to our holy God. And because He is holy, we are called to holy living. His saving work in our lives motivates us to obey Him.

Please take some time to read our Scriptures for this Sunday:
1 Peter 1:13-25

Next Steps . . .
Here’s a few questions to help as you discuss this lesson with your student:
-What does living as God’s children look like? Why is it important for us to live this way?
-What does Peter tell us about God’s plan to rescue humanity through Jesus?
-Why do you think it was important for Peter to remind fellow believers to continue loving one another amid persecution?

Thank you for all you do. As a parent, you are the primary spiritual influence in the life of your teenager, and they desperately need you. I’m praying for you! If you have any questions or if I can help with anything, please don't hesitate to let me know!
