What You Can Expect

In our Student Ministry (6th-12th grade), we seek to increase that strong, gospel-centered foundation in our students through learning and studying the Word of God. Student Ministry is where our students begin to experience what group life is like within the church. Our hope is to partner with parents in helping students go deeper with each other, their leaders and, most importantly, God.

The pain we experience today will not last forever

The pain we experience today will not last forever, and you can rest assured that that is a promise worth running toward. ⁠
⁠
📖 𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗗: Revelation 21:4⁠
4 ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”⁠
⁠
👓 𝗢𝗕𝗦𝗘𝗥𝗩𝗘⁠
Revelation is the very last book of the Bible. It’s the final word. Jesus always has the last word on everything. He has the last word on our identity, our worth, and our value. And because of that, we do not have to run like crazy to accomplish goals to prove our worth to people. We don’t have to work to be the best or to get the best, because Jesus has given us what we need. This verse says that there will be no more death, sorrow, crying, or pain. What else should there be no more of? No more striving? No more hustling to get first place? No more trying to prove ourselves? ⁠
⁠
✅ 𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗟𝗬 ⁠
Can you live with hope knowing that the day is coming where the hustling, striving, working, and stress will all be wiped away? How can you live with eternity in mind? Write a prayer of thanks for the fact that the day of rest is coming where we will be free from the expectations of others. Thank Jesus that the life he came to give you is rich and full.

Today, though you face troubling times, you can rest in the knowledge that Jesus brings peace to our troubled hearts. ⁠
⁠
📖 𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗗: John 14:1-4⁠
1 “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. 2 My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. 4 You know the way to the place where I am going.”⁠
⁠
👓 𝗢𝗕𝗦𝗘𝗥𝗩𝗘⁠
Jesus would often remind his disciples not be troubled, but to trust in him. He gave them hope that he was going ahead of them to prepare a place of peace for them. It’s because of Jesus, death on the cross and his resurrection that we can be with him in this place he went to prepare for us. What does Jesus mean when he says, “You know the way to where I am going.”?⁠
⁠
✅ 𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗟𝗬 ⁠
How can you go to God when your heart is troubled or when your mind can’t stop thinking about your to-do list? Can you learn to go to run toward God even when you can’t get rid of nagging thoughts? Ask God to give you the courage to share this good news with a friend. Take a moment to share the peace you have experienced through trust in Jesus. Continue to pray that this friend would trust Jesus to care for them, too.

Today, you can rest safely knowing that Jesus has experienced the same hardships we are facing, and yet overcame them all. ⁠
⁠
📖 𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗗: Mark 6:1-6⁠
1 Jesus left there and went to his hometown, accompanied by his disciples. 2 When the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were amazed.⁠
⁠
“Where did this man get these things?” they asked. “What’s this wisdom that has been given him? What are these remarkable miracles he is performing? 3 Isn’t this the carpenter? Isn’t this Mary’s son and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas and Simon? Aren’t his sisters here with us?” And they took offense at him.⁠
⁠
4 Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own town, among his relatives and in his own home.” 5 He could not do any miracles there, except lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them. 6 He was amazed at their lack of faith.⁠
⁠
Jesus Sends Out the Twelve⁠
Then Jesus went around teaching from village to village.⁠
⁠
👓 𝗢𝗕𝗦𝗘𝗥𝗩𝗘⁠
Jesus performed miracles no one had seen before. One time he went to his hometown, a place where he was well known, and yet, despite the incredible things he did, the people there did not believe in him. Why don’t you think they wanted to listen to him?⁠
⁠
✅ 𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗟𝗬 ⁠
Just like Jesus, despite our accomplishments, or the good that we do, some people won’t listen to us, recognize us, or believe us. Is the fact that even Jesus felt rejection a comfort to you? Can you rest in what Jesus says about you and believe that he says you are enough, regardless of what others think? Say a prayer of gratitude that Jesus has experienced the emotions you are experiencing, and that you are not alone in your emotions. This can give us peace in situations when we feel like we’re not enough for people, or that our accomplishments aren't enough to win someone’s approval. Thank Jesus for affirming that you are enough, and that you can live from his approval of you.

Sometimes, after all the running, you just need a good nap. 🙂⁠
⁠
📖 𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗗: Mark 4:35-40⁠
35 That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side.” 36 Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with him. 37 A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped. 38 Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, “Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?”⁠
⁠
39 He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down and it was completely calm.⁠
⁠
40 He said to his disciples, “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?”⁠
⁠
👓 𝗢𝗕𝗦𝗘𝗥𝗩𝗘⁠
Jesus slept. That’s right, Jesus took a nap. On a boat. In a storm! What does this show you about Jesus’ humanity? ⁠
⁠
✅ 𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗟𝗬 ⁠
Think about the circumstances in this story. There was a violent storm. The disciples were experienced fishermen and probably faced a lot of crazy storms., so the fact that they had no chill shows that this was a BIG storm. ⛈ But, in the middle of the roaring waves and crashing winds, Jesus showed the disciples that he had the power to calm the storm and bring peace. What is the storm, stress, or chaos that you find yourself in the middle of right now? How can Jesus words, “Silence! Be still!” encourage you? Write a prayer to Jesus, telling him everything about the storm you find yourself in right now. Tell him about the stress that feels like waves crashing over you and that you’re struggling to keep your head above water and swim through it. Thank Jesus that he gives peace in the middle of the storm, and that he does not leave you or turn his back on you.
