TOPIC: This Is My Story [Open Heaven for Teens 7 December 2022]

MEMORISE: This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. 1 Timothy 1:15

READ: 1 Timothy 1:11-17

According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;
Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.
Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.
Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 John 1:1-13, Daniel 9-10

MESSAGE:

When the creation story began in Genesis 1, it was a pleasant story. Genesis 1:1-3 says:
“1. In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
And God said, Let there be light; and there was light.”

Beautiful story! Then man fell from grace to grass and the story changed. Man began to wallow in pain, sorrow, hardship and worst of all, separation from the Creator. Genesis 3:23 says:

“Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.”

However, the story took a positive turn when Jesus came into the scene. He died, resurrected and bought us pardon. Through Him, we are reconciled to God. If your story is still ugly, it can change today; just allow Jesus to come into your life and He will turn it around for good.

PRAYER POINT

Father, please turn my story around for good.

HYMN: In Christ Alone

In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
‘Til on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of
No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life’s first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
Till He returns or calls me home
