Finding Treasure

This Sunday, Youth Ignition Live continued its series on The Text by focusing on practical ideas for navigating the Bible and discovering the what's important in life. Whether we're cracking open the family Bible or tapping on the YouVersion.com app, we can discover life-transforming truth if we open our eyes.

The Bible is filled with wisdom, knowledge, love, hope, comfort, and promises from God. But if we're honest, the Bible sometimes can feel a little intimidating. It's a big book. Its original audience lived thousands of years ago. It was originally written in other languages in another part of the world, and parts of it can be really difficult to wrap our heads around.

Jesus gave us a great promise: The Holy Spirit will help us understand what God is saying to us and will guide us into truth (John 14:17; 16:13). Using Proverbs 2:1-6, our students discovered that to understand God's Word, we need to read it, talk to other people about it, ask God for help in understanding it, and then live out the story it tells us.

Here are some questions that could help you as you talk with your middle schooler about this week's lesson:

Which parts of the Bible do you find easiest to read, and why? Which parts are most difficult to read, and why?

What's one thing you've learned recently from a friend about the Bible or about being a follower of Jesus?

Why is it important to apply what we read and learn in the Bible?

I pray that you and your family have an amazing week following Jesus together.
