Summer is gone too soon! But this school year will be over before you know it! Will you let it fly by or will you make the most of your time? This one-week stand alone message comes with a script for you to teach your students live without a video. You’ll also have the print materials with discussion questions and a game like a regular series.

Leaders - note that this series is specifically for a live teaching by you or your youth pastor. There is no video teaching within this series. Read the "Message Notes" for the sermon or use this background video to teach your own message.

This series asks us to take a look inside ourselves and see what we’re carrying around in our backpack. What weighs us down? What holds us back from becoming everything God intends us to be? We will focus on getting rid of shame from bad situations, guilt from bad decisions, bad relationships that hold us back from living for God and making sure our concern for our reputation isn’t a burden that holds us back from living for God.

Welcome to THE LOOP! This series is intended to be an overview of the four main categories that all the 10 -12 Year Olds’ series fall into: Knowing God, understanding who He made us to be, our role in the community of believers, and our relationships to others in the world. Each week of this series gives a broad idea of what so important about those four areas.

iWill overviews the four relationship themes as areas of growth: God, You, Community, Others. The first week’s longer message "I will put my relationship with God above all else" sets the stage for three weeks of video and small group discussion about the other three: I will discover who God says I am, I will take my place in the Community of believers and I will reach out and share Christ with Others.

We all have habits. Some good, some bad. In this series we explore some habits that will draw us closer to God. Reading the Bible, prayer, and even silence are important habits that can allow God to become our source for guidance and life decisions.

The small group discussion questions challenge students to establish these habits and the daily devotionals give them the steps to take.

Who is God? Where is God? Is there a God? The answers to these questions have the potential to unlock one of the greatest adventures in life. Are you willing to search for the answer? Look closely, the answers might be right in front of you. Don’t miss this opportunity to discover who GOD IS.

In life, substitutes are used to replace the real thing. We have sugar substitutes, egg substitutes, and substitute teachers to name a few. What happens when substitutes show up in our relationship with God? The results may be deadly. Don’t miss our series Death by Christianity. There is no substitute for the real thing.

Just because culture says “it isn’t wrong”, doesn’t mean it is right. For four weeks, we are going to dive into Bible and see what God says about the HOT TOPICS that surround us each day – does the music I listen to affect me? Is it okay to look, if I don’t touch? How far is too far? You’ve thought about it...We are going to talk about it.

Why is silence so weird? I mean when 12 people are crammed in an elevator, how come nobody talks? Could it be that in our life we are bombarded with noise? Maybe even to the point where we can't even hear God anymore? In this message, we'll look at the life of Elijah and see how he found a way to hear God in the middle of all life's noises.

Ever had a secret and hid it from others? Some secrets might be funny, while others can be very serious and destructive. God wants us to stop hiding and to confess our secrets to Him. Through this process, we find unconditional mercy. Join us to learn how to get rid of the shame and fear associated with our deepest mistakes, flaws, and hidden secrets.

Join us for an intimate discussion with Ced Enough and the impact God has had on his life and singing career.

Have you ever been surrounded by people but felt completely alone? Maybe certain thing have happened to you in your life that have caused you to abandon your close relationships and just when you need someone to pull you through, you look up and you realize....you’re alone. In this message we’ll look at David during a time in his life when loneliness was the closest thing to him.

Have you ever felt like just face in the crowd? Like even though people know you, they don’t really know what’s going on in your life? Do you feel like you’re hiding? Is that the way God intended for us to live? By ourselves, all alone? Playing a game of hide and seek? Check out this message and see what God says about trying to do life on your own.

Each day, we pick certain things: our clothes, the music we listen to, what we eat, our nose. Join us for this one-week series in which you pick next week's message!

Life is a Journey!

He is many things to many people. For some people he was a historical figure, for others he was a holy man, but who is he to you? Jesus Christ, the center of Christianity, saw the deepest needs of people around him while he lived on the earth. But even though he often met the earthly needs of people through healings and provision, he always sought to meet the spiritual needs of people. Jesus was a healer, a miracle worker, and a friend to the friendless, but ultimately Jesus Christ was and still is the Savior of the world and daily calls us to follow him.

One Person. One Choice. Two Destinies.

Why do we always want more? More food, more money, more popularity... The Bible tells a story about a man who dealt with this same issue, and the lessons he learned still hold true today.
