Growing in Christ: “Assurance of Salvation”

Written by jsmysor on . Posted in Parents

Parent Curriculum – Week 1

Wednesday we start the first week of a thirteen week series called “Growing in Christ.”  It is based on a bible study created by The Navigators and is created for “new and growing Christians.”  Click Here to learn more about the book.  Each week we will have a memory verse for the students, if any of the students can recite all 13 passages by memory on November 16 they will get a $30 giftcard to either Signs of Life, Target, or Best Buy. 

This week we will be looking at how we are saved, how we know we are saved and why it’s important to memorize scripture.  These questions are only suggestions, feel free to use some or all of it as you see fit.  Most of our study will be in 1 John 5:11-12, which is also our memory verse.  We will also be looking at Isaiah 59:2, Ephesians 2:8-9, and John 10:27-29.
