Genesis 1–11: God Makes a Start is an excellent Bible study resource for teens wanting a better understanding of how and why God created the world, and why the earliest events of the Bible should matter to us today. The stories of Adam and Eve, of their sons Cain and Abel, of the people who provoked the flood and those who built the tower of Babel: all of these stories display our human tendency to overstep our limits as creatures, to take control of our lives apart from God, to treat one another unjustly. The Genesis accounts tell us that our unhappiness stems from our failure to trust and obey our creator. Against this background, Jesus’ life and death emerge as a deliberate reversal of the deep-rooted human tendency to distrust and disobey God.

Genesis 1-11: God Makes a Start (Six Weeks with the Bible for Catholic Teens)

This young adult Bible study, Exodus: God to the Rescue, helps teens to see how God revealed himself as savior in the Old Testament—and how that salvation story continued and culminated in the person of Jesus.Exodus not just about God’s actions for Israel long ago; it is also about God’s activity in our lives as followers of Christ. In reading about the rescue of the Israelite slaves, we can learn about God’s saving love for us in Christ. The way God sustained the Israelites in the wilderness reminds us of some of the sacraments of the Church. For example, our immersion into Christ’s death and life through the water of Baptism harkens back to the Israelites’ passing through the water of the Red Sea. God’s provision of manna offers us an image of the Eucharist, the heavenly bread by which we are nourished—Christ’s body and blood. Thus, as we read about God’s rescue of his people Israel, we can ask the Holy Spirit to help us understand better our own personal salvation history. We can ask ourselves how we have experienced being rescued from the grip of sin, how we have discovered the personal presence of Jesus as he lives with us in the new covenant he has made through his death and resurrection.Designed as a guided discovery, Six Weeks with the Bible for Catholic Teens introduces high school students to books of the Bible by integrating the biblical text with insightful questions to help youth discern what Scripture means for their lives today.

Exodus: God to the Rescue (Six Weeks with the Bible for Catholic Teens)

The book of Luke has been described as one of the most beautiful books ever written, and Luke: The Good News of God's Mercy brings this beauty to life for teens as they study the life of Jesus and what Jesus can mean for their lives. Luke’s Gospel deals with the issue of being open to God’s work through Jesus. Luke shows us that God has made salvation available through Jesus’ birth, life, death, and resurrection. In many ways, God’s action through Jesus was unexpected, even for the Jewish people of the time. The salvation Jesus brings goes far beyond what people were looking for. It also makes demands on those who accept it. So we meet people in Luke’s Gospel who are astonished by Jesus. They are struggling to understand what Jesus was offering them and how they should respond. In the Gospel of Luke, we make contact with a will other than our own. God shows that he is not a spectator-god who made a DVD of the universe billions of years ago and now sits back to watch. God has a loving plan; God makes things happen. It is this active, involved God who comes to Mary and tells her about his plan for her in Luke’s Gospel. As we begin reading the Gospel of Luke, are we prepared to meet this God?

Mark: Getting to Know Jesus (Six Weeks with the Bible for Catholic Teens)

John 1-10: I Am the Bread of Life is an excellent way to introduce young adults to the book of John and the life-changing message of Jesus in this Gospel. As John sees it, we human beings need God. We need God’s light in our lives, his power to energize us. But for the most part we are not very aware of this need because we spend our lives running around looking for one thing after another, preoccupied with meeting our material and social needs. We tend to see God as the provider of earthly blessings rather than the source of something much more important. And of course, we also tend to ignore God and instead work to satisfy our own desires. John tells us how God tries to break through the barrier of our earthly thinking by entering into our world personally.

John 1-10: I Am the Bread of Life (Six Weeks with the Bible for Catholic Teens)

This youth Bible study, John 11-21: My Peace I Give You, is a wonderful way to get teens to think more deeply about the message and mission of Jesus. Just as the story up through chapter 10 can be summarized simply as Jesus proclaiming his identity and calling people to believe in him, so can the remainder of John’s Gospel be summarized as God and Jesus glorified at the cross because Jesus’ death is God’s supreme revelation of himself. Jesus will now provide the most impressive sign of his divine origin and will bring his public ministry to a close. After giving his disciples final instructions, he will accept an agonizing death and will rise from the dead. Like the swing of a pendulum, the Gospel of John has two complementary movements: the Word of God enters the world as Jesus of Nazareth; then, for the sake of human beings, he leaves the world and returns to God.

John 11-21: My Peace I Give You (Six Weeks with the Bible for Catholic Teens)

This Bible study for teens, Acts: The Good News of the Holy Spirit, is an excellent way to introduce young adults to how the Church began. Like the early Jewish followers of Jesus, the Spirit leads us also into drama and conflict. God challenges us to change. He challenges us to move beyond a simplistic childhood understanding of him and develop a mature adult faith. He wishes us to serve him in new ways, and summons us to go beyond our limited expectations of how much we might love, how selflessly we might serve, what suffering we might endure. He wishes us to experience his powerful help as we grow up. He wishes to work through us to make Jesus known. He wishes us to have an influence on the people around us. In all these respects, reading Acts leads us to question our lives and open our hearts to a new cooperation with the Spirit of God.
