    Teen Service, Sunday PM, Dangerous Prayers, Hebrews 4:16

    Recorded Live 11/1/2026 Notes: How much time do we spend asking God to change anything inside of us? Safe prayers keep God at a distance, cold prayers invite Him close. Search Me- Psalm 139:23-24 Asking and allowing God to search us helps us to become who He created us to be Break Me- Psalm 51:16-17 Break whatever it is that keeps me from being closer to God Send Me- Isaiah 6:8 Are you familiar enough with God’s power to be willing to go where He has for you to go? Use Me- Romans 12:1-2 Less of “what do I want to do with my life” and more of “what does God want me to do with my life?”

    Teen SS, Wisdom for Life, Proverbs Series, Proverbs 3:6

    Recorded Live 11/1/2026 Notes: The Expectation “All” speaks of total commitment We don’t just acknowledge God on Sunday, but in our everyday lives What does it mean? To acknowledge God means to recognize Him in every area of your life Before you watch something, listen to something, say that, or go there, ask: “Would this be pleasing to God??” How do I acknowledge Him?? Through prayer and reading His Word individually Faithful church attendance and involvement Allowing those things to guide our daily decisions The End Result The more I acknowledge God, the better I know Him The better I know Him, the more I learn to trust Him My difficulties don’t stop Him from directing my paths Sobering Thought He gave His life for you. How much of your life have you given to Him? Does my life show that living for God matters to me?? What areas of my life have I been leaving Him out???

    Minutes of Mercy, The Lamb Foretold, Isaiah 53:3

    We’re reminded here that Jesus was despised, rejected, a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief. He understands our burdens because He willingly entered into our suffering. As we reflect on all He endured for us, may we examine our own lives and ask: Are we esteeming Christ as highly as He deserves?

    Teen SS, Wisdom for Life, Proverbs Series, Prov. 3:5

    Recorded Live 10/25/2026 The Encouragement, “Trust in the Lord” Trust means complete dependence on God Trust means believing God and being ready to obey Him Trust is not based on what I understand but on who God is Reasons I can trust the Lord We can trust God because He is Faithful- He can’t lie (Num. 23:19, Tit. 1:2, Heb. 6:18) Wise- Higher thoughts and way (Is. 55:8-9) Trustworthy- Proven Faithful Caring- For us (1 Pet. 5:7) Good- Better direction than ours (Prov. 14:12) The Emphasis, “with all thine heart” God desires complete trust The more we know God, the more we trust Him A divided heart struggles to fully trust God The Emptiness, “lean not unto thine own understanding” Our own understanding is: Folly- Limited Understanding (Prov. 28:26) Rebellion- My way over God’s Word ( Jer. 2:13) Ruin- Immediate pleasure over God’s will (Gen 3) Trusting the LORD in faith does not mean we stop thinking; It means we submit our thinking to God’s Word. When God conceals His purposes, He consoles us with His promises Since Jesus died for my sin and rose from the dead, there is nothing about my life that I can’t trust Him with! Trust God for who He is, not just for what you understand

    The Lamb Foretold, Isaiah 53:2

    How often are we looking for the mighty oak while overlooking the tender plant that God is using? What an incredible reminder and description to us of our Saviour! Are you and I willing to trust God’s ways when they don’t look like what we expected??

  6. Oct 22

    Teen Service, Sun PM, Going All The Way, 2 Kings 2:1-14

    Recorded Live 10/18/2026 To often we become so satisfied in yesterday that we turn our face from what God currently wants to do in and through us right now Gilgal- Good Enough, Have I settled for good enough in my walk with God? Bethel- Close Enough, Am I hearing God’s Word without responding to it? Jericho- Far Enough, Some of the most important steps you’ll take for God you will take by yourself when you think you’re already far enough. Growing closer to God will thin out your crowd Jordan- Where God is more than enough What stops us from what God has for us is our own desire for it. Do I want more or not?

    Teen Sunday School, Wisdom for Life, Proverbs Series, Chap. 3:1-4

    Recorded Live, 10/18/2026 Prov 3:1, “forget not my law;” Hearing God’s Word is not the same as allowing it to direct our decisions 3 things that often cause us to forget Busyness, neglect, distractions Keep it in front of you daily Prov 3:1, “let thine heart keep my commandments” Our obedience to God should come from the heart, rather than an outward conformity to “rules” The goal is for God’s Word to move from the page into our hearts and then flow from our heart into our everyday lives Prov. 3:2, Benefits, Length of Days, Long Life, Peace God’s instruction keeps us from unnecessary harm and consequences God’s commandments adds to the quality and quantity of our lives *Godly wisdom doesn’t guarantee 100 years of life, but it does mean we can live wise, full lives in the days we’re given! Prov. 3:3, Mercy and Truth “Bind them about thy neck” Keep them close and make them a permanent part of your daily life Remembering the mercy God has shown us, moves us to show mercy to others Truth should be evident in our lives Prov 3:3 — 2 Cor 3:3 Our lives are letters People read the message of Christ through us What message are people reading about Christ through my life? Prov. 3:4, Character First, then Favor Follows When God’s wisdom becomes part of our lives, it affects our relationship with God and with others Godly character is developed as we allow God’s Word to shape us from the inside out

    The Lamb Foretold; Journey through Isaiah 53, vs 1

    Today, we explore Isaiah 53:1 and the question, “Who hath believed our report?” Discover how God revealed His “arm” through the humility and suffering of Jesus Christ, and why the cross remains the greatest demonstration of His love and power. When we don’t understand how God is working, we can return to the report of the Gospel and trust the God who gave His Son to save us.
