Dear Parents
We start a new lesson and a new focus this month. Last month we targeted the Holy Spirit to know and understand a little more, and this month we will look to the Father. The Trinity is a word that doesn’t show up in the Bible, there are even some Christians that disagree with the concept. Some doubt the divine nature of Jesus, other are under the impression that the Holy Spirit isn’t anything more than the thoughts of God and not its own personhood.
But it seems like most Christians believe in a almighty divine God as the Father. The deeper issue is what do you believe about an all-powerful God who sent His Son to die. What do you think God is really like? Who do you pray to when you’re by yourself? I have found that many love Jesus, are a little confused by the Holy Spirit, and fearful of the Father who demands blood for sins.
This week and month we’ll find out what the true heart of the Father is, and what He’s all about. I look forward to spending time with your teen this week.

Connection Points
I encourage you to read Matthew 26:36-56 and talk with your teenager this week, using a few questions such as these to get started:
• When was a time when you needed help but none came?
• When was a time you wish you could have helped someone but you couldn’t?
• Which of the times before was harder to go through?
• How many angels did Jesus say were waiting for the Father’s command to save Jesus from the Cross?
• If Jesus called out for the angels do you think His Father would have sent them?
• What do you think is harder for God to remain silent when His children ask for Him, or to cause great miracles to happen?
We’re praying for you! Thanks again for all your support as we partner in ministry with you.
