Are you a teen who's ever questioned the strength of your faith? Have you wondered about following without question authority figures such as government officials, teachers, or even pastors who may be hypocritical or even blindly leading others? What about marriage and divorce? Does God's Word differ from today's definition of these, and if so, how and why? Have you ever been faced with any of the above or with personal or governmental persecution? All of these are huge issues today that need to be examined in relation to Scripture to discover how God wants you to live. After eight to fifteen weeks of digging in, you will know what God says, but what really matters is answering the question, "Will I live in obedience to God's Word because I love Him, have a deep heart relationship with Him, and want to glorify and please Him always?" Can I say, "I trust You with all I am, Father, and no matter what life brings, I will follow You because I believe in Your Word, Your Son Jesus Christ as my Savior, and in the power of the Holy Spirit." The answers to all these require standing tall, and this is the journey on which Jesus' Words for Teens--Standing Tall will take you.

Are today's teens firmly rooted in God's Word--becoming the Daniels, Shadrachs, Meshachs, and Abednegos of today? Will they be able to withstand the enemy and hold tight to God's commands as those young people did, and will they live as God would have them in this challenging, ever-changing world? Believing that teens need more in-depth Bible studies to help them mature well in Christ and become "rocks" in their faith, Candice Mary Thomas has authored the first in a series of studies, Jesus' Words for Teens--Obedience, to help teens "dig in" to God's Word. Although it is written for small groups, the study can easily be adapted for Christian schools and families. Teens will explore what Jesus meant by obedience and how he exemplified it in His life through both group and personal study. They will then be challenged to make "yes" choices: "Yes, Jesus is my Savior. Yes, I want to follow Him. Yes, I believe He loves me because He made Me and will stand by me forever." Finally, they will be encouraged to form convictions out of which they will define for themselves "unshakable unbreakables"--commitments made now that will help them to do God's will when they face tough choices in the future. Jesus' Words for Teens is written "for such a time as this." [Esther 4:14]
