Real Present God

Real. Present. God. is a six session study with parallel devotions that takes passages from the book of Psalms, full of material about our God's power and presence.

This series of five studies youth ministries can talk about how God is able to work in and through us, even in times where we struggle with our mental health. This is particularly important after a year which was stressful for almost everyone. The darkness of this world and in our minds is no match for our REAL, PRESENT God! Jesus is the ONE and ONLY source of eternal light.

Beyond Broken is a six-week study focused on God’s intent for identity and relational wholeness. The study begins with a larger discussion focused on gender, and specifically, on God’s design for male and female and how they were intended to be in relationship with one another.

At the 2019 LCMS Youth Gathering, young people got a chance to serve by making Plarn. Plarn is yarn made from used plastic grocery bags that can be crocheted together to make mats for those who struggle with homelessness. Along with the instructions, there is a short devotion included that can work with any local servant event.

We need to be reminded over and over again that God is Real, and God is Present, and God is God.

If we equip young people to see everything in light of their value and identity in Christ, as a loved, chosen, forgiven child of God, it will change their relationships. Not only that, but this foundation will impact every single area of their lives.

Life's Big Stresses Call for One Big God calls us to lean into our Savior as we come to know that there is no crisis or circumstance that is bigger than our God, and can thrive in times of stress.

In the real stories of our lives, let us point to the real goodness and grace of our Real. Present. God.
