WHAT WE ARE TEACHING

IN THE HIGH SCHOOL FRIDAY NIGHT ENVIRONMENT

A 4-WEEK SERIES FROM MATTHEW ON SPIRITUAL GROWTH

Life can feel confusing. We hit moments where we’re not sure which way to go, what decision to make, or how to figure things out. Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a map that could guide us through life—not just for directions, but for making choices, living life, and knowing God better? If you've ever been there, good news! The Bible is more than an old book—it’s a map that helps us find our way. In this 4-week series from the book of Matthew, we’ll discover how the Bible helps us see things differently, shows us how to be like Jesus, reveals what God is like, and teaches us what is true.
