The Beginning: A Heart's Transformation
For those who do not follow the quarterly curriculum calendar or who are looking for specific topics and passages to cover in a weekly small group or mid-week session, these Faith for Life downloadable studies are smaller, unit-based, small group series from our popular Faith for Life youth curriculum. Written by youth ministry professionals and pastors, The Beginning: A Heart's Transformation is approachable and equips leaders with the resources they need to connect with students.
This study begins at Jesus’s birth and ends with his encounter with the Roman official. The characters we meet along the way include Mary, John the Baptist, Peter, Mary Magdalene, Judas, and Pilate. Through the story of Jesus and the involvement of each of these characters, we learn how much Jesus impacted their lives and shaped their character.
Lesson 1: Mary, the Courageous
Lesson 2: John the Baptist, Grace that Transforms
Lesson 3: Peter, the Rock
