Student Ministries 411- October 27th

Wednesday Night Series- Jonah: The Book of Mercy

The goal for this month is for us to walk away with a clear picture of God’s merciful and compassionate heart towards mankind. This was God’s heart in the Old Testament and we see the same heart through God’s sending of Jesus on our behalf.

We will close out our study in Jonah this week with chapter 4. We will discuss how God extends compassion and kindness through His patience with Jonah. It is a comfort for us to know how patient the Lord is with us and it’s a challenge for us to be more patient with the people in our lives.

Book Recommendation- 12 Truths Every Teen Can Trust

“There are fundamental truths to our faith, non-negotiable building blocks that lie at the foundation of what we believe. Truths about the reality of a deity, the corruption of man, the redemptive plan of God, the eternal state…these are all truths packed into this book. What I love about this book personally is the relatable examples from a fatherly figure in Paul David Tripp, who invites teens to consider core tenets of the faith not merely as academic exercise, but for everyday application. I too love the devotional nature of this book (with each of the 12 truths broken up into 7 different mini-readings, saturated in Scripture), along with the aesthetic artwork that helps to drive home these truths. For practical use, consider this parents as a resource for your family, perhaps a weekly conversation starter around 12 different doctrinal statements that I pray will not merely inform your teen, but will be used by God to awaken deeper joy and appreciation as they consider the Christian faith!”
