Lesson 9 | The Disciples

Dear parents,

This week we finished up a mini-series on “Jesus and the People” by looking at Jesus’ closest disciples, his most committed followers. We talked about how the opportunity to follow Jesus and spread his message of good news wasn’t just for the disciples; that call is still extended to US today.

​Choosing to follow Jesus and to pursue a relationship with Christ is one of the best decisions we can ever make. When we accept this invitation to follow him, we die to ourselves. We no longer lead our lives based on what is best for us, but what is best for the kingdom. We put our selfish desires behind us and love the people that God brings into our lives.

​As you go throughout the week, help cement this idea in your teenager’s life by asking these kinds of questions:
  • What are your thoughts on following Jesus?
  • How is the decision to follow Jesus unlike any other commitment you might make in life? How is it similar to some commitments?
  • What are some excuses people in today’s world might give for not following Jesus—or not being willing to follow him with solid commitment?

​Have an amazing week!
Adapted from Group Publishing's LIVE: Year With Jesus curriculum.
