We tend to hear “God’s Word” and think of our Bibles. Of course, we know that the Bible is indeed God’s Word. But a good understanding of God’s Word goes deeper than just the words on our favorite Bible app.

We will soon begin a new study called “elements|God’s Word” where we’ll take an in-depth look at God’s Word and the power it holds for our lives.

Over the course of this study, we will see the power of God’s Word throughout the Old Testament, how Jesus was the physical embodiment of God’s Word (God’s living, breathing Word to us), and our lives can be used to spread God’s Word.

You’ll be receiving a follow-up from me as we teach each of these topics. Providing you with an overview of what we studied, as well as some follow-up questions you and your teenager might use to continue this important conversation.

Below you’ll see some tips on what you can be doing to help your teenager better understand the concept of God’s Word and why it’s so vital to our faith.

• Pray for your teenager each week, and for the others in our Bible study.

• Watch for follow-up letters and engage your teenager in conversations about what he or she is learning.

• Look for ways to improve the communication between you and your teenager, especially as it pertains to spiritual matters.

Thank you for letting our D-Group leaders and myself be a part of your teenager’s spiritual growth. And thank you for the investments you make in his or her life each day. Please continue to pray for our ministry. You can be assured that I’m praying for you!
