Knowing God: Lesson 3

Dear Parents,

This week, we concluded our three-week study on God’s knowability. This week’s lesson was a great time of study in God’s Word. I hope your teenager was challenged by it.

This week, the lesson was entitled “Knowledge that Transforms,” and it focused on helping our students understand that knowing God is not merely a concept, but a truth that transforms who we are and our view of God’s mission. We helped them define how knowing God changes their view of themselves, others, and God’s mission in the world.

We looked at the following scripture passages:

• 2 Peter 1:1-9
• Galatians 4:8-9
• Psalm 46:10

You’ll enjoy reading these powerful passages that show that knowledge of God results in transformation.


Next Steps...
During the next week as you have time to talk with your teenager, ask the following questions:

• What are you doing to grow deeper this week in your relationship with Jesus?

• How have you seen God at work in the world around you?

• How can God use you for His mission today?

I pray that this was a meaningful unit of study for your teenager. If you have any questions about anything, please don’t hesitate to call me.
