Inteen Student (Summer 2016‪)‬

The study of this quarter is primarily from the Old Testament book of Zephaniah and the New Testament book of Romans. The three units follow the theme of God’s New Creation as it pertains to our new life in Christ.

UNIT 1 • JUDGMENT AND SALVATION: The three lessons in this unit focus on the judgment of Judah and the subsequent hope the people receive as they repent of their sins to live in obedience to God.

UNIT 2 • A WORLD GONE WRONG: The six lessons in this unit focus on the brokenness of the world as it has been affected by sin and what God has done to repair that damage.

UNIT 3 • LIFE ON GOD’S TERMS: The four lessons in this unit focus on the benefits and demands of living a life for God as a new creation in Christ.


Inteen® Student Magazine gives students (ages 15–17) a fresh perspective on biblical truths. Each quarter, the 13-week lesson curriculum is paired with poems, practical advice, real-life stories, book reviews, and more to inspire teens to continue their spiritual growth and draw closer to Christ.


• God’s Word is presented in interesting ways—book reviews, real-life stories, and thoughtful articles show teens how they can relate to Bible truths.


• Teens read about peers with relevant situations—drugs, gangs, love, school—and learn how to cope with such problems with God’s help.


• Teens are given ways to demonstrate that they understand the Bible principles presented.
