We must encourage students to trust in God’s work, which cannot be manipulated, while also challenging them to measure what they see by God’s own Word. This practice will equip them as they think of God’s work in their own lives.
Our students are familiar with what it means to be exiles. Their experience of this world has already taught them how to long for a better world.
He is the God who promises, and he is the God who delivers on his promises.
The Jesus I Wish I Knew in High School has become an invaluable resource in preparing these short, grace-filled words for our weekly meeting.
As youth ministers, we have the opportunity to draw out that feeling of longing and to show how it is answered in the gospel.
No matter what you face when you step into the halls of school again, you will be met with Jesus’ proclamation of good news, liberty, healing, and freedom.
