A Forward Path to a New Day for Student Ministries…a corporate SS session
Coverer
The unchanging character of God, fulfilled in Christ, enters the story at the darkest moment following creation–the Fall. In the “Hidden” series, consider a type of Christ emerging in “plain sight” from the very beginning. Text: Genesis 2:25-3:21
Restored Giving
A key characteristic of God is radical generosity. Human nature is to withhold generosity in worship–which includes giving. However, a window into God’s heart reveals a treasure easily overlooked. Text: Malachi 3:6-18
Restored Love & Honor
Love and honor of God is a paramount responsibility for the worshippers of God. In the first of a five-part series from Malachi, consider why this is foundational to begin a New Year. Text: Malachi 1:1-2:9
Receive the Gift of Christmas…JOY
Joy is not the first word one might choose to describe 2020. So it was in the first century. However, at just the right time–joy came. Consider again the gift of Christmas in the Christ of Christmas. Text: Luke 1:26-45
The Light of Christmas…HOPE
Light piercing the darkness speaks incredible hope. At a very dark time, Jesus came. The darkness and hopelessness in our world can be overwhelming. Especially in year 2020, consider again the Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God of Christmas. Text: Isaiah 8:11-9:7
Dressed And Ready
Spiritual warfare is real and personal. In the final message of this series, consider how one can experience victory over the devil as one is dressed in Christ and ready for battle. Text: Mark 5:14-15; Ephesians 6:10-20
Expecting Attack
The devil will attack us using any and all strategies to defeat us. In #3 of the Spiritual Warfare 101-Greater is HE! series, Consider Jesus and the victorious strategies used against the devil when attacked. Text: Luke 4:1-14
