THRIVE: LIVING ON PURPOSE- Purpose Restored (YOU-Fall'24, Study 1, Session 3) Paint doesn’t last. It fades. It cracks. It peels. Live in a house long enough, and you will find yourself needing to repaint any exterior wood. I’ve had to do that twice over the years. We need restoration too. We’ve lost our way, wandered from God, and painted over the abundant life and purp...

THRIVE: LIVING ON PURPOSE- Purpose Abandoned (YOU-Fall'24, Study 1, Session 2) I love my bookcase made from a piano, but there is something far greater I’d rather have done with it. I wish I could’ve played the piano. That’s the purpose for which it was built. It’s the same with us. We’ve lost the purpose for which God created us, but instead of returning to Him to r...

THRIVE: LIVING ON PURPOSE- Purpose Questioned (YOU-Fall'24, Study 1, Session 1) The whirl of the hamster wheel can blur your vision to the fact that your life has purpose, but that purpose is only realized when you look to the One who gave you that purpose. As Solomon discovered, looking anywhere else for your purpose is meaningless.

MORE THAN A SIDEKICK, Serving Alongside Others: Baruch (YOU-Sum'24, Study 2, Session 6) In the song “Evidence”, Josh Baldwin sings about the faithfulness of God. Who, throughout his entire history, has walked beside him in the winter storms, in the spring, in every season of life. In surveying God’s goodness, he asks God to help him remember that in times of weakness and fear, Go...

MORE THAN A SIDEKICK, Serving Alongside Others: Jonathan (YOU-Sum'24, Study 2, Session 4) It is being led by both the Spirit and the Scriptures that help us to transcend social expectations (Ro. 12:1-2), which will often put us at odds within our own culture and the culture at large. There is a song by the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir, “Order my Steps.” It says, “The world is ever cha...

MORE THAN A SIDEKICK, Serving Alongside Others: David (YOU-Sum'24, Study 2, Session 3) Even before he was king, David served with excellence though King Saul, his boss, hated him. Our service may seem menial to some, but to God it really matters.

MORE THAN A SIDEKICK, Serving Alongside Others: Barak (YOU-Sum'24, Study 2, Session 2) Have you ever experienced disappointment when someone failed to mention your name, recognize your contribution, or give you credit for your work? Have you ever waited for a simple, “thank you” from somebody you helped, but it never came? In this session, we’ll see that Barak was told upfront h...

PROMISES WE CAN COUNT ON: God's Promise of a King (YOU-Sum'24, Study 1, Session 5) History has seen many empires, dynasties, and kingdoms come and go. At the height of their power and greatness, the leaders of those kingdoms might have thought they would remain on top of the world, but history has proven otherwise. Even a country as great as the United States has no guarantee it.....

Psalm 92:12-15

12 The righteous thrive like a palm tree and grow like a cedar tree in Lebanon.
13 Planted in the house of the Lord, they thrive in the courts of our God.
14 They will still bear fruit in old age, healthy and green the Lord is just; he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.”

PROMISES WE CAN COUNT ON: God's Promise to Make a Holy Nation (YOU-Sum'24, Study 1, Session 4) Many aspects of our lives come with rules. The places we work have procedures to follow. We have traffic laws that tell us how fast we can drive on roads, when we need to stop, and more. Sports in which we engage, such as basketball, football, and volleyball also have rules. God intends His commands...

PROMISES WE CAN COUNT ON: God's Promise of Blessing (YOU-Sum'24, Study 1, Session 3) God’s plan of salvation included Abraham and his descendants—ultimately the nation of Israel—as His spiritual vessel. God professed that Abraham would be the “father of many nations” to include kings (Gen. 17:4-6) and ultimately the King of Kings. Through this bloodline, God would bring a ...

PROMISES WE CAN COUNT ON: God's Promise of Preservation (YOU-Sum'24, Study 1, Session 2) New beginnings, whether we view them as good or bad, are transitions. We all face various transitions in our lives at some point, but God will give us the grace to move forward in these transitions, no matter our circumstances. The Book of Genesis records how God judged the world through a great flo...

PROMISES WE CAN COUNT ON: God's Promise of Fruitfulness (YOU-Sum'24, Study 1, Session 1) I once heard someone say, “Many people spend more time planning their vacations than they spend planning their lives.” Indeed, some individuals arrive at the end of life disappointed they didn’t live more purposeful lives. They regretmissed opportunities. In the book of Genesis, we read the bi...

https://you.lifeway.com/the-joy-of-giving-you-spr24-special-focus-study-session-sf/

THE JOY OF GIVING To put it mildly, generosity is a stretch for some of us! It doesn’t flow naturally from our hearts, even for believers. Though giving is a delicate subject, God’s Word puts a great deal of importance on it.

https://you.lifeway.com/being-an-authentic-church-worshiping-god-you-spr24-study-2-session-4/

BEING AN AUTHENTIC CHURCH: Worshiping God When you think about all of the tragedies that have happened in the world and how God has kept you; it's easy to say, “Who wouldn’t serve a God like this?” How encouraging it is to corporately worship this amazing God! He is worthy to be praised!

BEING AN AUTHENTIC CHURCH: Built on Christ As a child, we sang the song, “The Wise Man Built His House Upon a Rock.” The song is based on Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 7:24-27. I didn’t understand it at the time. It basically is stating that in this world, we will encounter many challenges. Our foundation determines how we pe...

IT’S ALL ABOUT JESUS: The Mission of Jesus Shared We are commanded and equipped to tell others about the life, ministry, and mission of Jesus. We do this because this news is simply too big and too good to keep to ourselves.

IT’S ALL ABOUT JESUS: The Resurrection of Jesus Jesus was fully human, but also fully divine, and completely infallible. Jesus never gave a false prophecy. Even His most seemingly impossible prophecy, His own resurrection, came true.

IT’S ALL ABOUT JESUS: The Death of Jesus The average American holds a debt balance of $96,371.2 That total comes from a variety of different sources including credit cards, car loans, student loans, and mortgages.... We all owe—the debt of sin, accumulated over a lifetime of rebellious choices made against a holy God.

IT’S ALL ABOUT JESUS: The Identity of Jesus We come in contact, both in person and online, with hundreds – if not thousands – of people every day. As we do, we tend to subconsciously divide these people into a series of concentric circles. These circles represent our relationship to those people, moving from simply being in their vicinity...

IT’S ALL ABOUT JESUS: The Ministry of Jesus Unless you live in a home that’s been newly built, there are likely imperfections everywhere you look. In a similar way, it’s not hard to find “cracks” in the world today. The ministry of Jesus helps us to understand not only these surface-level issues, but it points us to the deeper issue a...
