Thank you for encouraging your teenager to attend our Bible study series Jesus and Loving Others. We concluded the series with a study on what it means to be known or defined by our love for others. We talked about some people in the news and some throughout history who are well known because of something they either still do or something they did. We challenged the students to consider what they are known by, and what it would take for them to be known for showing the love of Christ to the world.
Here are the Scriptures that were used in this week’s lesson:
- John 13:31-35
- John 15:12-13
Next Steps...
Each week we close a lesson by looking at ways for your teenager to apply what he or she has learned in his or her life. This process of applying the Bible to life is especially important in the final lesson. Remember that real change takes place when we apply the Bible to our day-to-day life. With that in mind, see if you can engage your teenager by offering the some of the following challenges this week:
- Ask your teenager about the lesson this week and ask if there was any application associated with the study.
- Ask about some family member who is or was known for something like a skill or a favorite food or maybe even a passion for God. Relate that to how Jesus wants His children to be known for their love for others.
- Think about some ways that you can help engage your teenager in actively showing love to others. Is there a ministry opportunity near you or some ministry work you could help your teenager begin in your area? Encourage your child to get involved in loving others because of his or her love for God.
