Student PARENT RESOURCES

In John 1, students discovered that Jesus existed from the beginning, created all things, and came as the light of the world. We discussed how the whole Bible points to the fact that Jesus came to earth as the Son of God to provide light about God’s plan for salvation. Through Jesus, God offers eternal life to those who will believe in Him.

SCRIPTURE FOCUS:  John 1:1-5, 14 | John 5:31-40

TALK ABOUT IT:

• Who do you believe Jesus is?
• What does it mean to call Jesus the Messiah?
• Does it change your reading of the Old Testament when you consider that Jesus is the fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets? Why or why not?

Students explored how culture encourages us to build our own image, while Jesus calls us to a different way of living. Looking at Jesus' teaching in Mark 8 and the humility of John the Baptist, students were challenged to build their identity on Christ rather than on what others think about them.

SCRIPTURE FOCUS:  Mark 8:34-38 | John 3:25-30

TALK ABOUT IT:

• What image in your life do you feel the most pressure to protect? Why?
• What would it look like for Jesus to "increase" and for you to "decrease"?

This year, we're encouraging every student and parent to download the Fresh Fire app. This is where you’ll find announcements for upcoming events, weekly devotionals tied to what we’re learning, Bible reading plans, prayer requests, and everything we’re doing each week.

Download Fresh Fire and join with the code CBCYTH

We’re excited to see how this helps our student ministry grow together.
