Hopes and Dreams

About This Product Session 1: What Are You Standing On?--Teenagers are bombarded with advertisements, media outlets, authority figures, and peers who attempt to point them toward hope. Occasionally an event or tragedy comes along that shakes our footing and reminds us that nothing in this world is certain. This lesson will give you the opportunity to remind your students that in the face of uncertainty, their future is secure in Jesus--the One who knows their future.

Session 2: Does God Still Do Miracles?--Your students need to be reminded that the same God who was always bailing people out of trouble in the Bible, is the same God they have access to every day. Real life miracles aren't confined to the dusty pages of the Bible; they're available to every Christian who's willing to grab hold of God's outstretched hand.

Session 3: Christianity is a Verb--Many students are comfortable with showing up to church or youth group once or twice a week, punching their "spiritual time clocks," and feeling as if they've done their Christian duty for another seven days. This lesson will help you instill in your students a sense of responsibility and obligation that Christianity, as a verb, doesn't begin and end in the church foyer.

Session 4: So Many Choices, So Little Time-- Teenagers face a multitude of decisions, and all of these decisions can cause stress, anxiety, and internal and external conflict. Christian teenagers can be torn between two competing voices: God's gentle, loving beckon and the world's screaming rampage. Today's lesson will help your students develop some biblically sound decision-making techniques as they attempt to make God-filled choices in a sin-filled world.
