Jul 19, 2023 · As we plan and lead Bible studies with our teens, here are 3 questions we’re always asking—and you might be asking too. How do I choose what to study? Figuring out what to teach from the Bible can be daunting, but it doesn’t have to be difficult.
May 20, 2019 · There are a lot of excellent 52-week Bible study options to choose from. Find one that accomplishes your goals and run with it. I like to think in terms of quarters for my mid-week service. This is a great place to do thematic studies (relationships, poverty, forgiveness, and so on).

You Feel Stuck in a Rut. You’ve tried a lot of different methods to engage teenagers in studying the Bible. You may have walked into this role enthusiastically, ready to be the “cool” Bible teacher. You make cookies. You have the most well-thought-out study. And you still find yourself competing with iPhones and side conversations. After hours of t...
A Foundation It’s easy to get lost in the details and the small passages when studying the Bible. But here’s the thing. You can’t build anything successfully (much less a love for Scripture in adolescents) without a foundation. In Scripture, Jesus says that we need to build our faith on a firm foundation. The mistake that many people make is to sta...
We can’t pour out of an empty cup. If you, as the leader, aren’t grounded in Scripture yourself, you will have a much harder time teaching it to teenagers. Enthusiasm is contagious. Let the Lord fill you with his Word and get personally excited about the content you’re teaching. This enthusiasm will naturally bubble over to your students. How? By r...
When we think about the Bible, we often think of it as a chronological book with a beginning, middle, and end. In reality, the Bible is a library. It contains various books by different authors. From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible spans over a thousand years of time. If you show teens that the Bible is a library and not a book, they will be less ...
It is tempting to try to read the whole Bible from cover to cover, front to back. We get a serotonin rush justthinking about completing that. But this is actually not the most effective way to read and retain Scripture. If you try to read the Bible cover to cover, your students will get bogged down, overwhelmed, and discouraged. Because there is so...
The difficult thing about the Bible is that it covers such a large span of time. All the stories tend to meld together, and it’s hard to distinguish what happened when (and why it matters.) Our brain likes to compartmentalize complex issues. It’s easier to remember things when they’re broken up into smaller categories. Try breaking the long stretch...
Teens can ask really difficult questions. Even if they’re not saying them out loud, they are thinking about them. And if they don’t get their questions answered, they might feel like the Church just glosses over the issues they see. At that rate, they conclude that Catholicism and the Bible aren’t really that intellectually rigorous, and they put t...
The question teenagers constantly ask is, Why does this matter? And if they don’t feel it matters, they won’t do it. (Or at best, they will drag their feet.) Math homework and cleaning often fall into this category. And unfortunately, prayer, Mass, and the Bible are often lumped in there, too. After teaching a Bible time period and answering the di...
Getting tired of hearing yourself talk after a while? Feel like you’re talking into a void sometimes? When you are shopping online and buying something new on Amazon, what do you look for? The product that has the most and the best reviews. It’s human nature. We rely on what others are doing and saying to help us decide what we should and shouldn’t...
Having every lesson be like the one before can get monotonous for you and for the teens. Everybody ends up going through the motions. Try mixing up the way you present each lesson to keep them on their toes. Switch up the place you meet or the icebreakers you use. It could even be as simple as switching up the way the chairs and tables are arranged...
Sep 20, 2023 · 1. Plan in Advance. If you want to prevent the stressful question "What should I preach now that the series is over?" from popping up in your mind, it's best to plan your content. Using an annual sermon calendar (a printed calendar or online spreadsheet) will help you plan your sermons strategically.
