Do you want to see your students live out their faith in a way that impacts the world around them for the sake of the Gospel? If so, you’ll want to check out YM360’s Formation Series. The Formation Series immerses your students in the Gospel, teaching them who Jesus was, what He taught, and how He radically changed them and the world through His life, death, and resurrection. Your students will also be taught exactly what it looks like to live the life of a disciple. The Formation Series equips your students with the knowledge they need to live bold lives for Christ.
The first year of the Formation Series will walk your students through The Jesus Studies, where they will explore Jesus’ teachings about the relevant issues of a teenager’s life.
The second year will walk students through a study entitled The Rescue: Discovering How the Gospel Rescues and Redeems Us, where students will learn what the Gospel is, how it changes them, and how God uses the Gospel, and them, to impact the world.
Finally, in the third year of the Formation Series, students will walk through The Life: Embracing the Life of a Christ-Follower, where they will learn exactly what it looks like to live a life of discipleship.
The Formation Series Lineup
The Jesus Studies
The Jesus Studies, a 52-week fully downloadable Bible study curriculum, cuts through the confusion of teenagers' lives and gives your students a Christ-centered worldview for the major issues they face.
You don't need to be reminded of the issues teenagers deal with as they try to live out their faith in a world that's often opposed to their core beliefs. Navigating these issues can be rough. Teenagers get so many mixed messages; the world says one thing, their friends may say another. And we hope they know enough about their faith to know how to make sense of it all.
The Jesus Studies cut through the confusion, teaching your students a Christ-centered look at the major issues they deal with in their lives. These are not watered-down, topical Bible studies. These lessons proclaim how Jesus weighs in on the very issues your students are confronted with on a daily basis. Your students will learn to see their lives through the person of Christ.
The Rescue: Discovering How the Gospel Rescues and Redeems Us
The Rescue: Discovering How the Gospel Rescues and Redeems Us is a 52-lesson downloadable Bible study that will give your students a rich, in-depth understanding of the Gospel and its impact that many of them may have never known before.
Put simply, the Gospel is God’s amazing Rescue Plan for sinful humanity. Through Jesus, God did what we are incapable of doing: rescuing ourselves from the devastating effects of sin. The good news of the Gospel is that through faith in Christ, we are rescued to a sweeping and far-reaching new reality.
The Rescue: Discovering How the Gospel Rescues and Redeems Us unpacks this new reality in a powerful way. The Rescue gives your students a comprehensive and transformative view of exactly what the Gospel is, how it radically changes their lives, and how their lives will, in turn, be used to change the world. The Rescue gives your students a rich, in-depth view of the Gospel and its impact that many of them have never seen before.
The Life: Embracing the Life of a Christ-Follower
The Life: Embracing the Life of a Christ-Follower is a downloadable 52-lesson Bible study curriculum that will equip your students to understand exactly what it means to live as a follower of Christ through a unit-based study of discipleship.
The call to faith in Christ is a call to action. It’s a call to a transformed life, a life that has a specific look to it. This life is called discipleship. And it’s the expected path of all who come to faith in Jesus.
The call to saving faith is a simultaneous call to follow Jesus in a lifetime of devotion. There really isn’t any other option. The idea that we could know Jesus but live unchanged lives isn’t biblical. The picture of biblical faith is the picture of life daily lived in relationship with God. It’s a life of discipleship. Of “followership.” And The LIFE will help your students know exactly what the call to follow looks like.
