During Christmas as a church we were challenged to give this Christmas away. Our students collected cans for "Food Net", contributed money to Miguel and Sumitra that we have adopted through World Vision, and wrote letters to soldiers. Some of the money sent to Sumitra went to buy shawls for teens in their community and the rest went to buy her family sheet metal to repair their house.

This week we finished our world tour and returned home.

There’s No Place Like Home
A Look at the Lost Son

So…What happened anyway?

• The son REBELLED against his father
A few days later this younger son packed all his belongings and took a trip to a distant land, and there he wasted all his money on wild living (Luke 15:13).

• The son came to the point of REALITY
When he finally came to his senses, he said to himself, “At home even the hired men have food enough to spare, and here I am, dying of hunger!” (Luke 15:17).

• The son chose to REPENT
I will go home to my father and say, “Father, I have sinned against both heaven and you, and I am no longer worthy of being called your son. Please take me on as a hired man” (Luke 15:18).

• The father REJOICED
So he returned home to his father. And while he was still a long distance away, his father saw him coming. Filled with love and compassion, he ran to his son, embraced him, and kissed him (Luke 15:20).

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK:
No matter where I ROAM,
I can always come HOME!

This week we traveled to Panama to visit the Canal which serves as a shortcut for ships traveling around South America.

REMEMBER…

Everyone is on a JOURNEY.

We all need DIRECTIONS.
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23).

Jesus is THE way.
Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me”(John 14:6).

For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life (John 3:16).

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK:
Jesus . . . there is no SHORT CUT.

Recognizing Your Amazingness

Note To Self: I am an AMAZING THING!
Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows (Luke 12:6-7).

I Am Amazing Because:

God HAND-MADE me.
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them (Genesis 1:27).

You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother's womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—and how well I know it (Psalm 139:13-14).

God CARES ABOUT me.
Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows (Luke 12:6-7).

God PREPARED HEAVEN for me.
There are many rooms in my Father's home, and I am going to prepare a place for you. If this were not so, I would tell you plainly. When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am (John 14:2-3).

PEOPLE are God’s most PRECIOUS creation

This week we traveled to New York City to visit the Statue of Liberty.

JESUS sets people free!

How To Enjoy My Freedom

Understand what TRUE freedom really is
“If the son sets you free, you will be free indeed” (John 8:36).

Identify what SINS own me
. . . I am sold into slavery, with sin as my master. I don't understand myself at all, for I really want to do what is right, but I don't do it. Instead, I do the very thing I hate. I know perfectly well that what I am doing is wrong . . . (Romans 7:14-16).

Determine to SERVE Jesus
“No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other, or be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money” (Matthew 6:24).

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK:
SIN wants to STEAL my freedom!

We played Statue of Liberty Ring Toss.
Catherine played the role of Lady Liberty.

This week we traveled to Nepal to hike Mt. Everest.

Junior High is quite a HIKE!

How To Hike The Junior High Mountain

• Take a CLIMBING PARTNER with you
As iron sharpens iron, a friend sharpens a friend (Proverbs 27:17).
By yourself you're unprotected. With a friend you can face the worst. Can you round up a third? A three-stranded rope isn't easily snapped (Ecclesiastes 4:12).

• Take the right EQUIPMENT
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes… Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God (Ephesians 6:10-17).

• Take ONE STEP at a time
God is the one who began this good work in you, and I am certain that he won't stop before it is complete on the day that Christ Jesus returns (Philippians 1:6).

• Take a DETERMINED attitude
So we're not giving up. How could we! Even though on the outside it often looks like things are falling apart on us, on the inside, where God is making new life, not a day goes by without his unfolding grace (2 Corinthians 4:16).

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK:
Junior High is a MOUNTAIN, but I can MAKE IT!

God wants me to Stick Out

How To Stick Out In A Crowd:

• Trust God
Noah did everything just as God commanded him (Gen 6:22).
And Noah did all that the Lord commanded him (Gen 7:25).

• Don’t worry about what others think
Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ (Galatians 1:10).

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK:
Am I sticking out or blending in.

The Importance of Strong Connections

Since we are all one body in Christ, we belong to each other, and each of us needs the others (Romans 12:5b).

The Best Way To Build On A Foundation
Is with STRONG CONNECTIONS

What Good Are Strong Connections?

Strong connections SUPPORT me
So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing
(1 Thessalonians 5:11).

Strong connections STRENGTHEN me
A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken
(Ecclesiastes 4:12).

Strong connections SUSTAIN me
Reliable friends who do what they say are like cool drinks in sweltering heat . . . refreshing! (Proverbs 25:13).

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK:
Without strong CONNECTIONS, I’ll probably CRUMBLE!

2008-05-15T21:06:00.001-07:00

Teenagers are faced with living up to the expectations of parents, teachers and other authorities in their lives. You may feel like no matter how well you do you always fall short of what seems like perfection. We talked about the story of John Mark in Acts 12-15. Mark had people in his life that believed in him, but also extended grace when he failed. Forgiveness goes both ways in a child parent relationship. We need to forgive our parents for their mistakes as they forgive us for ours.

Jeff discussed this week - How are we like the Apostles?

This lesson takes a close look at 4 apostles. We discuss their backgrounds, failures, and accomplishments and apply them to our own lives today.

John
• Close relationship with Jesus, one of Inner Circle of Apostles
• Wrote several important books of Bible
• With his brother asked to be seated next to Jesus in heaven
• Sometimes we have a greater opinion of ourselves than we should
• “…whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all.” – Mark 10: 43-44

Peter
• He had tremendous faith
• Known to act first, think later
• Walked on water till he became afraid, denied Jesus 3 times
• Peter declared, “Even if I have to die with you, I will never disown you.” – Matt. 26:35

Thomas
• Skeptical, doubted that Jesus rose from the dead
• May be some of you here who are skeptical of things in the Bible
• If you truly seek Jesus, you will find him
• “…unless I see the nail marks in his hands…I will not believe it” – John 20:25

Judas
• Betrayed Jesus for 30 pieces of silver
• Overcome with guilt and hung himself
• Some today go to church and do all the right things, just like Judas did at first, but don’t really have a relationship with God
• Judas asked, “What are you willing to give me if I hand him over to you?” So they counted out for him thirty silver coins. – Matt. 26:15

This week we answered the question "Did Jesus really raise from the dead?" There are many theories floating around about what really happened. Did Jesus' disciples steal his body, or did Jesus just pass out and then revive in the cool of the tomb appearing to have resurrected. We talked through a fairly detailed and graphic explanation of what a Roman crucifixion was like. The agony and torture of the cross would have rendered Jesus in such need of medical attention that he would have not been able to roll away the stone and then walk around and appear to His disciples.

We had a bizarre student competition
involving saran wrap and bananas.
The winner was Ueric.
