Hello and Happy Tuesday Parents/Guardians!

Quick update and check-in here on our Sunday morning Bible study Anchored: Sure and Steadfast. This week kicked off the first of a three lesson unit on the reliability of the Bible. The lesson was entitled “What is the Bible?” and it helps introduce students to the very basic definition of what the Bible is and why it is important to Christians.

Lesson Overview: The word bible is not specific to Christianity. Its Greek origin tells us that it simply means “book” or “the books.” So why do Christians revere this particular book as holy? What purpose does it serve in our life? Without a proper understanding of the Christian Bible (Old and New Testament) as the Word of God, these rich accounts of God are no more than really great stories from long ago. If we do not still hold that the Bible is profitable for teaching, then we miss out on the life-filled instructions in Proverbs. For these reasons, we will begin our study on the reliability of the Bible by defining what the Bible is to us and why that matters.

What We Want Your Student To Learn: The place of the Bible in Christian life, and why it is important to our understanding of God.

What We Want Your Student To Do With What They’ve Learned: To understand how God’s Word changes them, and make it a central piece in their lives.

Scripture Passages We Studied: 2 Timothy 3:16-17, Acts 2:38-39, Hebrews 4:12-13, Matthew 5:17-18
Please Take A Few Minutes This Week To Read These Passages.

During the next week, as you engage in conversations with your student, remember that one way that will help them to understand and apply what they have learned is to explain it to someone else. Use the following questions to guide your conversation:

What was your Anchor Statement for this week? (Answer: I believe that the Bible consists of the Old Testament (39 books) and the New Testament (27 books). These books combined are what the Church is convicted to uphold as God-breathed and profitable for teaching.)
What kind of relationship do you have with the Bible right now? What kind of relationship would you like to have with the Bible 5 months from now?
What questions do you have about the Bible that you are hoping to address in future lessons?

Thank you for all you do! As a parent, you are the primary spiritual influence in the life of your teenager, and they desperately need you. I’m praying for you! If you have any questions or if I can help with anything, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Good Afternoon C3 Parents/Guardians!

I hope your week is off to an excellent start!

Sunday night, we continued our series on the book of James, looking at James 2:14-26, which addresses an important subject: faith and works. Students were challenged to see that a saving faith is an active faith, and an active faith is a working faith.

As we seek to partner with families at home, I pray the resource below will help you engage in conversations with your student(s) about this series!

THINK:
When we think about our faith, it’s easy to boil it down to saying a few words about Jesus. James challenges us otherwise. Our faith isn’t only about something we say or believe; it should be seen in how we live. In short, our faith should change not only who we are but also our very lives. Our faith should be alive, fruitful, and visible. But at the same time, we must remember to base our faith on the final work of Jesus on the Cross. No amount of “things we do” could ever grant us true faith. This week is a great reminder to help your student see they don’t work for God’s love; they work from it. The changes in their lives are a result of their love and obedience to Jesus.

READ:
James 2:17 says, 2 So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.

ASK:
Use the questions below to ask your student questions about the truths from our series. Look for ways to share personally, bring encouragement, and create a space for meaningful conversations.

If someone watched your life for a week, what do you think they would assume about your beliefs?
What’s the difference between just knowing things about God and actually trusting Him?

PRAY:
Pray for your student this week that they would:

Remember, they are saved by grace through faith, not by works.
Live an active faith that serves and loves others.

We are praying for your family this week! Please let us know if there’s anything we can do for you!
