Back to School Essentials Overview
Week 1: Paper
Bible: 2 Corinthians 5:15-17; Galatians 3:27-28; Romans 12:3-5
Bottom Line: Whether students are new to the building or returning for their last year in middle school, they should look at each year as a fresh start. In this lesson, we'll look at being "new creations" and how God gives us a new start.
Week 2: Lock Combination
Bible: Psalm 119:9-16; John 10:10
Bottom Line: Most students have a locker--some, this year, for the first time. Lockers store crazy amounts of stuff. There is even a company that will help you customize decorations for it! In this lesson we'll look at the importance of Scripture memorization, how it's different than cramming for a test, and a practical way your real locker can help.
Week 3: Schedule
Bible: Matthew 6:19-34
Bottom Line: Every student gets a schedule of classes. They want to see what they are studying, which teachers they have and who will be in class with them. This is a great opportunity for learning about priorities and time management. If they say Jesus is important, their schedule should reflect that.
Week 4: Map
Bible: Psalm 119:105-112; Exodus 20:1-17; Ephesians 4:29-32
Bottom Line: Finally, we'll finish with the map. From the new student to the 8th grader finding a room they've never had a class in before, almost every student carries a map with them at the beginning of the school year. We'll talk about how the Bible guides us in everyday life--even in junior high/middle school.
Creativinme Overview
Middle schoolers are living between these two worlds. But what if we could help middle schoolers see that children actually have a better grasp of the Bible when it comes to creativity than most adults?!

Week 2: Living Creativity
Bible: Matthew 13

Road Trip Overview
Week 1: The PassengersBible: Mark 1:16-20
Bottom Line: Jesus invites us to be passengers on his road-trip.
Week 2: The Car-Sickness
Bible: Mark 2:1-12
Bottom Line: Jesus is the only one who can heal us from the sickness of sin.
Week 3: The Fork In The Road

Bottom Line: It’s normal to wrestle with the will of God, but in the end God’s will is always the best way.
