Inteen Student (Spring 2016)

The material for this quarter revolves around Jesus’ life and ministry as portrayed in the Gospels of Mark and Luke. Mark and Luke show us how faith plays a vital role in following Jesus and living a life that pleases Him.
UNIT 1 • TESTS OF FAITH: The four lessons in this unit focus on tests of faith experienced by those in the Gospels who encountered Jesus.
UNIT 2 • RESTORATIVE FAITH: These four lessons show how faith in Jesus restored different people who were damaged mentally, physically, spiritually or emotionally.
UNIT 3 • THE FULLNESS OF FAITH: These five lessons focus on the qualities of a fully developed faith as well as the effects of that faith on the one who believes.

Inteen® Student Magazine gives students (ages 15–17) a fresh perspective on biblical truths. Each quarter, the 13-week lesson curriculum is paired with poems, practical advice, real-life stories, book reviews, and more to inspire teens to continue their spiritual growth and draw closer to Christ.

• God’s Word is presented in interesting ways—book reviews, real-life stories, and thoughtful articles show teens how they can relate to Bible truths.

• Teens read about peers with relevant situations—drugs, gangs, love, school—and learn how to cope with such problems with God’s help.

• Teens are given ways to demonstrate that they understand the Bible principles presented.
