You have challenged the teens in your group to dig into God's Word and introduced them to key verses that will have a life-long impact. But do they know how those important passages fit into the big picture? With The New Testament, part of the Uncommon youth curriculum series created by veteran youth minister Jim Burns, you can help your students understand how the gospel spread and the Church began, and help them connect that history with their lives today! Twelve sessions of youth-friendly Bible study offer a comprehensive overview from the Gospels to Revelation and introduce the central themes of the New Testament: God's unconditional love, God's grace through Christ, becoming part of God's family, and being an agent of change. Plus, downloadable and reproducible student handouts add additional options for every session. Every session is an interactive, in-depth study of God's Word. Flexible format--youth Sunday School, midweek meetings, camps and retreats. Adjustable for groups of any size and age, junior high to high school.
