Story Focus: For week 4, we head to Hebrews 10:23-25 and discover something about the importance of meeting with other followers of Jesus. The writer of this passage wanted to remind the early believers that Jesus is more important than anyone or anything else—EVER. The writer challenged the believers to hold onto their faith in Jesus, to keep meeting together, and to encourage others in the church to do the same.
Bottom Line: Our faith is stronger together. God created us for relationships. Whether it’s with a mom or dad, a family member, or a friend or two, life is better when we have someone to share it with. This can be especially true when it comes to our faith. When we surround ourselves with others who follow Jesus, our own faith in Jesus can grow stronger. We pray that the kids in your church will find all sorts of great friends that can encourage them as they follow Jesus.
Key Question: Who has encouraged you? One of the biggest reasons we should hang out with other followers of Jesus is because they can build us up when we’re feeling down. We want preteens to discover the people in their life who will do that for them. When we hang around with people who encourage us, it can change our whole outlook on life. We pray that preteens will be inspired to encourage others and point them to Jesus.
