Leave the Driving to God
A Teen Study of Paul�s Journeys, Acts 13�21
8 Sessions ($49)
Often Paul�s journeys are seen as little more than the confusing maps in the back of the Bible. It�s easy to lose sight of the fact that Paul was a sold-out follower of Jesus Christ, not a Marco Polo-type explorer. This study helps teens see what happens when we leave the leadership up to God. Students will learn how to counter their secular culture and see that true cultural transformation occurs when God�s Spirit is able to penetrate and change individuals from the inside out. The trick is to trust God�s Spirit and nobody put this trust into practice better than the apostle Paul.

You and God Against the World: A Teen Study of Acts 21-28
6 sessions ($39)
The latter part of Acts is a chronicle of Paul's adventurous journey to Rome for his long-awaited trial. While on his way: Jews tried to prosecute Paul with the same type of mock justice they used with Jesus; a high-ranking Roman king was almost converted to Christianity; Paul was shipwrecked on an island with "natives"—and in typical missionary fashion, he healed their sick. In this study, students will see incredible opportunities that came Paul's way simply because he remained submitted to God despite insurmountable opposition and suffering. They'll be challenged to imitate Paul's unwavering perseverance by seeing the fruit of his persecution.
