Our Awesome God
When we study God’s Word, we can see His transforming work in ordinary people. These people, who can seem like biblical heroes, were sinners like us, who struggled to obey God, listen to Him, and trust in His Way… yet God used them in His Story. This year we will look at how God revealed His awesome power of transformation in each of them - and in us! - to be faithful, obedient, thankful, devoted, courageous, encouraging, diligent, and bold! Here is our theme verse for the 2026-27 school year:
Ephesians 1:18-19 “I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which He has called you…and His incomparably great power for us who believe.”
