One of the ways the power of Christ enters our lives is through the consistent and faithful practice of spiritual disciplines. These four lessons will equip your teenagers to develop skills for practicing Christian disciplines and will help them 1) discover that reading and studying truths in the Bible is vital to developing our relationship with God; 2) explore how prayer is honest communication with God; 3) understand why close, accountable relationships with other Christians are essential in being consistent in our walk with Jesus; and 4) become aware of how loving service to others helps us break free from self-centeredness, build others up, and grow in faith.
