This Week @ iGROW:
This week marks a major event in our study of the big-picture story of the Bible. Israel prospered under the leadership of kings Saul, David, and Solomon. For over 100 years, the people were united. But after the death of Solomon, things started falling apart. A divided kingdom, evil kings, and people disobedient to God all led to the destruction of both kingdoms. God’s wrath was slow to come, but the sin of His people could no longer be ignored. His punishment would continue to be poured out all the way to the Jews being ruled by the Romans. But a long-promised Savior would bring salvation from God’s wrath forever.

The Thread Overview
So many teenagers simply don’t have a grasp of the narrative of the Bible. Key characters. Key events. Few students understand how these elements fit into the story of God and His people. The Thread aims to change this. In The Thread you will learn what the Gospel is, and how it courses through the narrative of Scripture. Not only will you learn the story of the Bible, but you will see that it is a story of unfailing love, as God seeks the beginning of Creation to draw humankind to Him through the grace of the Gospel.

What is iGROW?
iGrow is a weekly experience that helps teenagers grow in their faith and understanding of God’s Word while connecting with others on the same faith journey. Each teenager also has an opportunity to be in an iGroup, which are consistent, dedicated groups of teenagers that are led by caring adults. iGrow gives teenagers a chance to build safe relationships and navigate faith and life together. In addition, teenagers have opportunities to participate in outings to strengthen relationships throughout the year.
