Week 3 – How do I know that I can really trust the Bible?
October 4, 2026
2 Peter 1:16–21

Growing up, a simple "because the Bible says so" was enough to end most conversations. Many treated Scripture like an employee handbook where you could just check the index for a quick, black-and-white answer. That approach creates a false perspective of what the Bible is and is not. When we approach Scripture as it was intended, we discover an ancient text that contains everything necessary and sufficient for our salvation—reliable truth in all that it teaches even today.

Do you remember your first Bible? Who gave it to you, and how did you feel when you received it?

Read 2 Peter 1:16. Why is it significant that Peter stresses that they were eyewitnesses? What does it mean to you that no one at the time refuted this claim?

In the sermon, we noted that "the Bible is true in everything that it teaches us." How do you understand that statement? Do you agree or disagree, and why?

We also discussed interpreting "Scripture in light of Scripture"—meaning we understand individual passages through the lens of the Bible as a whole. What does this principle mean to you in practice?

Commit to reading the Book of James this week. Highlight every statement you know to be true and write down at least five specific ways your life would be transformed if you put its teachings into practice.

Week 2 – Can I mess up so badly that God won't save me?
September 27, 2026
Romans 8:31–39

Many of us have wrestled with some version of this question at a point in our lives: "Can I mess up so badly that God won't save me?" This question rarely arrives in a quiet, comfortable moment. It usually meets us in the middle of shameful tears, as we realize that if we were God, we probably wouldn't forgive ourselves. It’s the exact moment guilt morphs into shame—shifting our thoughts from "I did something wrong" to "I am something wrong." Today, we look at what God has to say about this.

When is the earliest memory you have of feeling truly guilty or bad about something you did?

Read Romans 8:31. Spend a moment focusing on this phrase: "If God is for us, who can be against us?" Read it a few times. What comes to mind? What does this declare about God’s character—and about your identity in God?

Read Romans 8:33–34. Paul writes, "It is God who justifies." Is there an area, mistake, or sin in your life where you struggle to accept that God has already declared you justified?

Read Romans 8:37–39. Write down at least 5 things, circumstances, or feelings in your life that cannot separate you from God’s love or stop you from being "more than a conqueror."

What is one practical step you can take this week to move closer to trusting God with your past, present, or future mistakes?

Week 1 – Is it wrong to doubt God?
September 20, 2026
Psalm 22

Many of us grew up thinking that having doubts about God is a sin. But the truth is, questioning things is completely normal. Most of us start with a "borrowed" faith—beliefs passed down by our family, even if they weren't religious. As you get older, the goal is to figure out what you actually believe. You can't make that leap without asking big questions. Doubting what you were taught isn't a bad thing; it's the main way you turn someone else's faith into a mature faith of your own.

How long did you believe in Santa Claus when you were growing up?
Rewrite Psalm 22:1–8 in your own words. How did rewriting these verses change how you see them?

Why do you think Jesus quoted Psalm 22 while on the cross? What does this show us about his relationship with God?

Why does the writer describe themselves as "a worm and not a human"? Have you ever felt that way?

In Psalm 22:12–18, the writer uses wild animals like bulls and roaring lions to describe intense fear. Which image stands out to you most based on a past experience, and why?

The tone shifts from deep despair to hope between verses 18 and 22. What do you think helps the writer move from doubt to trust?

What is one area of doubt you struggle with right now? How does Psalm 22 offer comfort or perspective?

Week 4 – Serve
August 30, 2026
Mark 10:45

No judgment—burnout, fear, and unclear expectations are real reasons we hesitate to serve. But true service isn’t about obligation, recognition, or self-interest; it is a countercultural faith practice rooted in love, humility, and grace (Mark 10:45). When we serve like Christ, we move beyond ourselves, deepening our faith, building community, and reflecting His love to our neighbors.

Week 2 – Worship
August 16, 2026
Romans 12:1-2, Hebrews 10:24-25, Romans 11:36

Worship is central to a thriving faith. At the very beginning of his ministry, Jesus gathered a community of disciples—founding the church to be a place where we journey together. Though modern culture often dismisses consistent church attendance as optional, gathering weekly for worship remains foundational to following Jesus.

Reflection Questions

• Personal Impact: What does corporate worship bring to your life? How has the experience opened your eyes to something greater than yourself?

• Perspective: Why is it dangerous when life revolves entirely around your own problems, stress, and anxieties without a greater perspective to ground you?

• Community Connection: Read Hebrews 10:24–25. What do you miss out on when you skip worship? More importantly, what does the church community miss out on when you aren't there?

• Deeper Dive: Consider the statement: "Your worship may be most powerful when you need it the least." Do you agree or disagree? Why?

Action Step Commit to making weekly worship a priority throughout this coming school year.
