LittleLIFE
A series about god as Creator
Have you ever built a sandcastle on the beach? It is easy to get very protective and do
anything to keep them from being destroyed by other kids or even by the waves.
Because the sandcastle was made by you, it belonged to you in a special way.
Because God created everything, it all belongs to Him. He provides and protects because it’s all His.
Someone once said, “There is not a square inch in the whole domain of our human existence over which Christ, who is
Sovereign over all, does not cry, ‘Mine!’” Because that is true, we can trust Him in everything.
In Psalm 24:1, David recognized this well and said this:
The earth is the LORD’s and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein.

A series on Living out my Purpose
This month in 56LIFE, students will discover what it looks like to follow Jesus in the everyday moments of life. Through the stories and wisdom found in Scripture, they'll learn how to stand firm when facing peer pressure, use their words to encourage others, show respect to those God has placed in authority, and let the light of Christ shine through their actions. Our prayer is that students will grow in the confidence to live out their faith in their everyday lives.

StudentLIFE
A series on Loving others
We all know God wants us to love others—it’s one of the most important things Jesus taught. But let’s be honest… actually doing it?
That’s not always easy, especially when life feels busy or like people aren’t easy to love. In this series from the New Testament, we’ll explore how Jesus shows us what loving others really looks like. He challenges us to move away from the world’s “me first” attitude and embrace his “after you” message as we follow his example.
We’ll learn that Jesus shows us how to notice others’ needs, Jesus asks us to care for each other, God’s Spirit helps us serve others, and God invites us to share our joy.

but each of you to the interests of the others." — Philippians 2:3–4 (NIV)

Our #1 Parenting Resource:
Parenting isn't the big moments, it's every moment.
- Every parent has 936 weeks of influence from the time their child is born until they graduate.
- Your child spends 1 hour per week at church and 167 hours per week away from church.
- Those can be a daunting numbers, but meaningful faith moments don't just happen at church. Meaningful faith moments with your family can fit seamlessly into the daily rhythm of your life.
- We want to join you in the journey of learning how to make faith a part of your daily routine by being a constant presence with your kids in Next Gen, by teaching them Gospel truths, and by equipping you to do the same the other 167 hours of the week!
