The Middle School Connect hour are going through the following lessons:

 

 

 

 

What Was I Made For? is a series designed to help middle schoolers find their identity in God, who made them. Their sense of self is heavily being shaped in this phase, and with so many outside voices speaking into who they should be, it can be hard for students to focus on what’s true. This series will help them discover that truth and give them the confidence to live authentically as the people God made them to be.

 

 

 

This series is all about the way we can shine the light of Jesus with our lives. As you talk about this concept with high schoolers, be quick to point out that this isn’t just some abstract command or call God gives us. Rather, it’s part of the way God made us. We were designed to shine. That being said, be sure to remind students this isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. Just as they’re uniquely made to be who they are, the way God calls them to shine light into the world will be unique to them. For some, this may mean big platforms, strong voices, and stepping into roles of leadership. But for others, it may mean encouragement offered to a friend, the quiet way they serve others that no one even knows about, or the simple way they care for their family. One isn’t better or brighter than the other. It’s just part of the distinct way God made each of us to shine.
