Middle School / Calvary Church

This week we dig deep into Romans 3:21-31, as we learn how we are Saved by faith alone. Though we were dead in our sins, we can be saved through faith in Jesus. This salvation is not dependent on us and our actions, but on God, who forgives, justifies and makes us righteous through faith. When we realize that it is God who saves us, not ourselves, we can only be grateful and humbled by His love.

In this series we will be looking at the book of Romans. In the first week, our goal is to recognize the position that sin has put us in relation to God. We will look at the realistic truth of the effects of sin in our lives. We will be looking at Romans 1:18-32. We will focus on the wrath of God, who we choose to worship, and how God is fighting to bring us back into his arms.

In our final week of our series “How to read the Bible” we are challenging the students with the question “Will” you read the Bible? What now? How to I practically, daily, read the Bible? I want to have the knowledge of God’s word but I lack the motivation to read His word every day. We will challenge our hearts to put in the effort. We will stress the importance and value but also the practical ways we can get better at reading the Bible. Our passage we will focus on is Psalm 119:105.

In week two of our series “How to read the Bible”, we are looking at the practical steps to how we live it out. We will look at some of the questions surrounding the how we interact with the Bible. Where do I start? Should I just open my Bible and begin reading? Are there different ways to read the Bible? What are some good resources for me to help me read the Bible? These are the questions that will surround this conversation as we look at the nuts and bolts of how to read the Bible in a practical achievable way. Our passage we will be focusing on is Romans 12.

This week we will be starting a new series called “How to read the Bible”. We will be discussing these questions in our first week. What makes the Bible so special? Why should I read the Bible over any other book? What am I looking for in the Bible? What is the point of scripture? We will see that God’s word is meant for us to be in communion with Him. We should not just be reading the Bible to check it off for the day. Our passage we will focus on is 1 Timothy 3:16-17.
