Because of His sacrifice on the cross, you can find eternal life with Jesus and enjoy a life filled with abundance right here, right now. Jesus makes every day count and can make this your BEST YEAR EVER.
Week 1: No Worries
Bible Story: "Do Not Worry" - Matthew 6:25-34
Main Idea: God takes care of me, so I don't need to worry. He's always in control. Gospel Connection: Jesus reminds us not to trust our own strength but to trust in His loving care, securing our needs and eternal life through His sacrifice.
Week 2: Two Paths
Bible Story: "The Way of the Righteous and the Wicked & Trust in the Lord" - Psalm 1:1-3 and Proverbs 3:5-6
Main Idea: I can find a better life by following God's path. Gospel Connection: We can't perfectly follow God's path, but salvation comes not from our efforts but from Jesus's perfect sacrifice for our sins.
Week 3: Fresh Starts
Bible Story: "The Woman at the Well" - John 4:1-42
Main Idea: By trusting in Jesus, I can get a start fresh. Gospel Connection: Jesus gave a woman at a well a new start. He offers a fresh start to anyone who will turn away from sin and trust in His promise of salvation.
Week 4: It's a God Thing
Bible Story: "The Vine and the Branches & The Peace of God" - John 15:4-5 and Philippians 4:6-7
Main Idea: I can connect with Jesus daily to find real peace and become more like Him. Gospel Connection: Like branches to a vine, we find our strength in Jesus. Our friendship with God comes from his goodness, not what we deserve on our own.
