Theme: Trailblazer. Jesus was a true trailblazer—not just for his time, but for all time! Jesus' teachings and way of life often went against the grain of what people expected, showing us a whole new way to live and love. While blazing new trails, Jesus never wavered from the path of following God, and he paved the way for us to follow his lead.
Scriptures: Matthew 5:1–12; James 1:2–12
Big Idea: Let’s trust Jesus even when it’s not easy!
Memory Verse: “Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior.” — Psalm 25:5a (NIV)
Discipleship Emphasis: Spending time with God is about helping individuals and families develop personal spiritual disciplines. It can look like opening the Bible, talking with God through prayer, discovering how they best connect with God through worship, and whatever else helps them connect with God personally. When we spend time with God, our faith grows!
