Compass
This is a four-week series designed to help students navigate what the Bible is, how to use it, and what it means for their lives today. The goal is to equip middle schoolers with the tools they need to use the Bible themselves and put its wisdom to work in their lives. But beyond that, we want to see them meet Jesus and come to know more about what God is like in the pages of Scripture.
WEEK 1: We read the Bible because God is in it. (2 Timothy 3:16a)
WEEK 2: Context helps us understand the Bible. (Philippians 4:13)
WEEK 3: The Bible points us to Jesus. (John 1:1, John 1:14a)
WEEK 4: The Bible gives us wisdom. (Psalm 119:105, Psalm 119:11a)
REMEMBER THIS
"Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path." Psalm 119:105, NIV
DO THIS
Morning Time
As your kid starts their day, tell them one thing you know about their character and what you admire about it.
Drive Time
While on the go this week, ask your kid: “What are some ways you can get to know someone?”
Meal Time
At a meal this week, have everyone answer this question: “What is something you’ve learned about God from the Bible?” If you’re not sure, search “characteristics of God” online for Scripture references.
Bed Time
Pray that you and your kid will see reading the Bible not as something you have to do, but as a way to get to know and grow in your relationship with God.
