Teen Trails of Truth for Youth

This "New Life in Christ" study, from Cherbear's one year Bible study for Teens and Preteens, also contains five daily devotions and one weekly devotional insight into the Bible with each lesson. This six part series helps teach what happens when we know Jesus as Savior and Lord of our lives. The focus is Sharing Christ with Teens.

 
 
"But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be
prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give
the reason for the hope that you have. "

What's New When We Know Christ?

Presenting Jesus to teens and preteens!

The Bible tells us that many things about us and our lives become new when Jesus comes into our hearts. These six lessons will help us understand how much God wants to guide us and teach us with His Word, the Bible. Each lesson can stand on it's own merit, but I think it is wise to let the students know in the beginning, they are learning a lot of New's about knowing Jesus as their best friend. God is powerful and will help them to do what Jesus would do.

What's New When We Know Jesus Christ?
The Bible Says:

God gives us a New Forever Life with Him in heaven!

"Come, follow me," Jesus said, and I will make you fishers of men."Matthew 4:19
Objective:
Encourage the students to talk about the love of Jesus.. We are to follow Him and become "fishers of people," for Jesus. He gives a New Forever Life in heaven to those who ask Him to live in their hearts. We can pray for other people and God's Holy Spirit will help them come to know Him.

God guides us into the plans He has for us. He gives us a New Direction.
 
"Direct me in the path of your commands, for there I find delight."
Psalm 119:35
Objective:
There is only one path to God. That path is Jesus Christ. He will lead us down that path with His Holy Spirit and His Word. We just need to follow Him. We must not let others tell us there is some other way to God.

"But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wigs like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." Isaiah 40:31

God promises to give us the strength we need as we trust in Him. Teach the students to look to the future and see how God may want them to serve Him.

God will help us to be like His Son, Jesus. He makes us a New Creature.
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!" 2Corinthians. 5:17
Objective:
Jesus starts making changes in the way we think when He becomes our Lord. Explain we have a will to do what is wrong. God wants to change that into a will to do what is right.

God forgives His children. He gives us a New Beginning and
New Blessings every day.
 
"...for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness."
Lamentations 3:23
Objective:
We do not always do what is right. We are not always on our best behavior. God sent Jesus to show us God's mercy and forgiveness. Teach the students to turn to God and ask forgiveness as they try to do better. God gives us a new beginning each day.

Special Commentary for the TEACHERS OF GOD's WORD!
There are many more studies in Gramma Cherbear's curriculum, Teen Trails of Truth. I used the Animation Trail Lessons in my Kid's Church over a five year period, before rewritting them for Teens. The children I taught never tired of them. To this date the children I instructed with these lessons have not forgotten the classes we shared and Gramma Cherbear gets hugs for her efforts whenever and wherever we meet. What a great, rewarding experience the Lord has given me. I wish to share it with you! This is a fun bible study for teens.
