Empty: Easter Jr High SeriesThis 4 week junior high series for Easter teaches students that because the tomb is empty, Jesus can fill the empty places of our lives. Have you ever experienced the phenomenon of a 7th grader as he eats a pack of Sour Patch Kids, three Air Heads, a pack of Skittles, four slices of pizza, and a Fanta? Dang. Impressive. It's almost as if the stomach of middle school boy is bottomless. And maybe it is.. ha ha!! Obviously, a constant diet of junk food

Bible Verses: 2 Thessalonians 3:6-13

Week 4: Thankful

Topic: The Great Commission

in this series we have talked about pursuing the good life as if it was solely an individual pursuit

as followers of Jesus
