The goal of this lesson is get kids to realize: 1. The Bible is primarily a book about LOVE. 2. That they’re relationship with God is as unique as they are. However they relate to and worship God is OK. They do not need to fit into a “cookie-cutter” mold of what a “Christian” is supposed to look like. They were created especially like they are to have a special relationship with God unique to them.
Kids are very self conscious and want to fit in. It can be confusing for them to see someone in a worship service raising their hands, singing with eyes closed, in rapt spirituality when they don’t feel that way. It’s tough when parents insist they stand and sing when they don’t want too. They need to understand that it’s OK to worship in different ways. This is a good lesson for boys especially to show them that it is OK to love God in masculine ways.

Bite-sized Bible readings for time-starved teens! A perennial best seller now featuring a popular new Bible translation! The HCSB® One-Minute Bible for Students offers 366 readings that allow young people to thoroughly survey the heart of the Bible in one year at the rate of just one minute per day. Each reading follows the general flow of biblical history, interspersed with several topical series for occasions such as Easter and Mother’s Day. If more study is desired, related texts are provided at the end of every day that point to nearly eighteen hundred passages of Scripture to further one’s understanding of the topics covered in that day’s reading. The seven hundred selected Scriptures and eighteen hundred related passages carefully present the key themes of the Bible and draw from all sixty-six books.

My Faith: Middle School Survival Series
By Mark Oestreicher & Kurt Johnson / Zondervan/Youth Specialties
Life can be hard. Especially when you’re in middle school. It also can be hard to understand what your faith is all about–and keep it strong when you face the trials and temptations that come along with being a teenager.
My Faith will give you all the tips and secrets you need to really grasp your faith and keep hold of it. You’ll get the inside scoop on things like God’s story, the Bible, faith and doubt, church, and what it means to be a Christian. This book is filled with short and fun-to-read devotional-style pointers along with humorous stories from the authors. Plus there are quotes and questions from students just like you. After reading My Faith, you’ll be ready to face the challenges of middle school with a strong faith.
Baptism
The goal of this lesson is to give the kids a theological understanding of baptism. In addition we consider making a 
commitment to “the body of Christ”.
I encourage kids to consider being baptized. Baptism affirms their relationship with God. I suggest that they contact the pastor to begin the process. Sadly, some churches make this very hard and have lots of restrictions and requirements. If your students are determined, go to bat for them and plan a special baptism service. I do not suggest “rocking the boat” of your church’s particular style or traditions surrounding baptism. However, I can tell you that kids this age can make a sincere decision to become an active member of the church family. This is a key element of their growth into mature participating members. Once a teen experiences ownership within the church they are far more apt to continue attending and participating in a church as they grow up.
This is a short one page lesson with a water-balloon activity. It makes for a fun outdoor lesson on a hot summer day. Pepper the back of the Sunday school lesson plan with pictures of the kids.

Fundamentals of the Faith: 13 Lessons to Grow in the Grace & Knowledge of Jesus Christ
By John MacArthur / Moody Publishers
“On Sunday mornings at Grace Community Church, small groups of people gather together in ‘Fundamentals of the Faith’ classes to use this manual of thirteen lessons, which blend basic biblical truths with personal obedience and service. Many young believers take these classes to grow in their understanding of biblical truths.”
For the first time ever, Fundamentals of the Faith is available to the trade. With topics ranging from “God: His Character and Attributes” to “The Church: Fellowship and Worship,” this workbook is ideal to disciple new believers or help more mature Christians sharpen their understanding of key doctrines and equip them for evangelism.
Each of the thirteen lessons comes with a link to a required free downloadable message from John MacArthur.
