Do you want to help students grasp the essential truths of their faith? Then The Foundation Series is for you. Over the course of three years, your students will learn the big-picture story of the Bible as well as dozens of core concepts of what it means to be a Christ-follower. The Foundation Series leads your students on a journey of faith-development based on the powerful truths of God’s Word.
Year 1 of The Foundation Series is a 52-week study called The Thread: Discovering the Thread of the Gospel Through the Big-Picture Story of the Bible. In this first year, you’ll help students understand the narrative of the Bible and how God has woven the truth of the Gospel through all of Scripture.
The second year in The Foundation Series is Activate: The Building Blocks of Faith, a 52-week study that equips students to lay the foundation of a lasting relationship with God through a study of the core concepts of their faith.
The third year in the series is Amplify: Growing A Faith That Lasts, a 52-week study that encourages students to grow a dynamic faith by studying a variety of core spiritual truths.
The Thread: Discovering the Thread of the Gospel Through the Big-Picture Story of the Bible, a 52-week downloadable Bible study curriculum, will teach your students God's story and how He wove His thread of love through every page of it.
The Thread walks through the story of the Gospel through Scripture in four main parts, each with 13 lessons:
Do your students really have a grasp of the narrative of the Bible? Further, do they really understand the Gospel—and that the Gospel literally courses through the entire narrative of the Bible?
The Thread is designed to accomplish two simple things:
Activate: The Building Blocks of Faith, a 52-lesson Bible study curriculum, will help your students lay the foundation of a lasting relationship with God through a study of the core concepts of their faith.
Activate: The Building Blocks of Faith examines 17 foundational elements of faith, each using a unique three-lesson framework:
The Trinity, God's Glory, Salvation, God's Love, God's Judgement, Grace, God's Mission, Discipleship, The Church, God's Kingdom, Persecution, Compassion, God's Faithfulness, Forgiveness, God's Presence, God's Knowledge, and God's Power.
Do your students hear these faith-centered topics and truly know how it impacts their daily lives?
Anything lasting must be built on a firm foundation and the faith of students is no different. The Apostle Paul says that our very faith is “built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone,” and that our lives are being built to be a “dwelling place for God by the Spirit” (Ephesians 2:19-22). One of the most important things a youth worker can do is to help students build a solid faith foundation. That’s where Activate comes in.
Activate: The Building Blocks of Faith helps students lay the foundation of a lasting relationship with God through a study of the core concepts of their faith. Over the course of 52 weeks, Activate examines 17 foundational elements of faith, each using a unique three-lesson framework. Your students will journey through such important concepts as the Trinity, God’s glory, God’s grace, discipleship, salvation, and more.
Amplify: Growing a Faith That Lasts is a 52-lesson youth ministry Bible study curriculum that helps your students lay the foundation of a lasting relationship with God through a study of the core concepts of their faith.
Amplify: Growing a Faith That Lasts examines 17 foundational elements of faith, each using a three-lesson framework:
The Holy Spirit, Worship, God’s Word, Obedience, God’s Mercy, Evangelism, God’s Sovereignty, Suffering, God’s Righteousness, Holiness, Spiritual Gifts, Service, Humility, Knowing God (Knowability), Prayer, Stewardship, The Unchanging God (Immutability)
Your students have heard these faith-based words in church before. Do they know what these words mean—and, more importantly—what these elements mean for their daily lives?
We know that things like plants and people need certain elements to grow. But what elements does a teenager’s faith need to grow? To grow a dynamic faith, teenagers must know God and His ways. They must understand what God expects of His people. And they must be able to see the world through the lens of God and His character. In a world increasingly opposed to the things of God, where can students go to find the necessary truths to cultivate a vibrant faith?
If you want to empower your students to grow a faith that will last, teach Amplify: Growing a Faith That Lasts.
