Welcome Back!
It was so good to be back at Student Ministries on Sunday evening!
Most weeks, we kick off the night with a small game. This past Sunday, the winners of those games competed to name a Student Ministries 2024 champion. After a first round of Jeopardy-style trivia, finalists were named: Christian Walker, David Hantla, Jade Cheung, and Grace Yates. Congratulations to Christian Walker, our 2024 Fall Champion! You can watch the fun here: https://www.gbcaz.org/student–
Really, the game was a fun excuse to review the lessons and remind students of what we covered over the past year. Afterward, the students met in discussion groups to share what was (or should have been) most impactful throughout the year. The aim was to be doers of the Word and not hearers only, who deceive themselves (James 1:22).
So far this year, we have covered:
- Worship and corporate singing
- God’s Word and how to read it
- Anger and reconciliation
- Sexual immorality and fighting sin
- Q&A sessions
All of our Student Ministries lessons are posted online. You can review past lessons, watch videos or listen to audio, and even read AI-generated transcripts: https://www.gbcaz.org/?post_
Thank you, everyone, for signing up for camp! Please make sure to fill out and submit your forms early.
This Sunday, we will continue working our way through Jesus’ teachings in the Sermon on the Mount, starting from Matthew 5:31.
Please take some time this week to interact with your student about what they’ve learned over the past year. Encourage them to commit to a Bible reading plan and to be reading God’s Word daily. Bible reading note-taking sheets are available each night at Student Ministries to help guide them.
As always, if there’s any way I or the leaders can better support you in the evangelism or discipleship of your student, please let us know. That is the aim of our ministry.
Your servant for His glory,
Jacob Hantla
