Peter and Andrew Meet Jesus

John 1:35-42

Friendships are a big part of middle school life. You probably spend more time with your friends now and care more about what they think. At the same time, it’s easy to feel left out or like everyone else has more friends than you do. This week’s study will help you see that no matter what your friendships look like, Jesus is the best friend you could ever have.

TRY THIS

Have some friends over for dinner or a game night. After they leave, talk as a family about why you value those friendships. Then compare them to your friendships with Jesus, and challenge each other to grow closer in this most important friendship: A friendship with God.

DAILY CHALLENGES

Instead of a Daily Challenge this week, write in the space provided the commitment you made to grow in friendship with Jesus. Be sure to follow through on your commitment this week.
