Jesus at the Center

on December 2, 2021

Jesus at the Center is four studies that are center stories from the Gospels.

With each story, we focus on what Jesus has done for us and how through the Holy Spirit, we can model that behavior in our own life. Young people will be able to see how we fail to resist temptation and comfort, fail to pray and miss the extent of God’s love for us in Jesus. In the same way, we will see how Jesus saved us from our sin and models for us a way of sanctified life.

These studies can be done as a stand alone or they can be done together. These can be done anytime but they may be particularly helpful during Lent.

The four sessions are:

Jesus in the Desert – Resisting Temptation (download this session here)
Jesus Raises Lazarus – Time to Mourn (download this session here)
Jesus in the Garden – Talking to God (download this session here)
Jesus’ Crucifixion – The Full Extent of Love (download this session here)

In each session, there will be activities to be prepped. Youth will also need Bibles, pens, and paper available.

Download all four studies here.
