One of our students, Mia, brings the Word for the first lesson of our new series, Ask Me Anything. She answers the question, “Is God Real?”

How would you answer the question, “Who Is Jesus?” The way we see Jesus has a huge impact on the way we respond to Him.

We finish our series looking at suicidal thoughts and how they don’t define you and you are loved. You matter. There is help available. And you do not have to carry this alone.

There are moments where it feels like your diagnosis defines who you are. But you are not defined by the struggles you face. You are defined by the Maker of heaven and earth. Your diagnosis doesn’t get to own you or rule you. Your diagnosis doesn’t have authority over your outlook. Run to the Father in the moments where you feel weak and are attacked by shame. He wants a say in how you see yourself because you are fearfully and wonderfully made.

Tonight we continued our series on mental health and learned some things to do if we battle depression, and some things to do to be a good friend to someone who is battling depression.

Tonight we started a series talking about mental health, and that we are not alone in this struggle. Throughout this series we will look at ways that you can be a friend to someone who is struggling with these things, and things to help you if you are the one struggling.

Whether your worries are occasional or constant, remember this: God sees you, He cares about what overwhelms you, and you don't have to carry it alone.

Tonight we learned about Teshuvah, repentance, and that when we do sin and mess up, we should run TO God, and not FROM God.

We dive into Romans 12, Galatians 5 and Colossians 3 and see how our identity shapes our choices. Who you believe you are determines how you live. When your identity is rooted in Christ, your choices begin to reflect Christ.

I forgot to post the conclusion of this series! We looked at how we love God with all of our might.

Tonight we looked at God’s Word in Romans 5, Luke 15 and Ephesians 2 to learn that our worth isn't something we earn from people; it's something God has already demonstrated through His love for us.

The world tells you to create your identity, but Christ tells you to receive it.

This lesson kicks off our 2026-2027 school year and encourages us to refocus on Christ, to love God and to love people.

Our decisions and actions have the power to shape the world we live in, and God desires the world to be a place where people are cared for and treated justly. When we realize how God has cared for us, our actions should help bring about His desires. So, we can love God with all our soul by loving the world around us because we are doing His will and loving those He loves.

When we perceive God’s love for us, we respond by loving God with all our heart, which means that we devote everything within us to Him. When we love God with all our heart, we begin to see Him more clearly, and He begins to make our hearts look more like His. As His love captivates, engages, and changes our hearts, the love we receive overflows to those around us.
