But the steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear him, and his righteousness to children's children, to those who keep his covenant and remember to do his commandments. — Psalm 103:18-19
SUMMER IN THE PSALMS!
Hesed, God's Covenantal Faithfulness
In order to understand God's enduring love for us, we must be reminded of His covenantal faithfulness. The lengths Christ went through to save you! When we appreciate the Gospel, we remember to be thankful for our salvation. This is particularly apparent when we are going through a difficult situation. Can we submit ourselves to Christ when we are hurting the most? It is at times such as these that we experience the steadfast love of God. And that love extends from everlasting to everlasting - from forever to forever!
Application: Will you trust God in your worst moments? Give it a try!

HighLIGHT: Teen Life Truths
Teen Life Truths (TLT) is coming up in a couple weeks. As you may know, it is a 10-week course we offer on Wednesday nights, going through the 10 Commandments (Exodus 20) and the Beatitudes (Matthew 5). Out of those passages, we extrapolate essential truths that will teach young middle school students what they may encounter in life and what it means to follow Christ. In the past we have done TLT every Spring; however, we believe it will make for a good initiation into the LIGHThouse youth group. Here are some details.
WHO: This course is offered to:
(1) Every incoming 6th grade student.
(2) Any middle school student who has not taken the course.
(3) Any middle school student newer to SSB.
WHEN: May 20-July 22, 6:30pm to 8:00pm.
WHERE: One of the classrooms in the church building.
WHAT: There will be snacks and short breaks between "modules."
This Summer, The LIGHThouse will meet Wednesdays, 7:00pm-9:00pm (starting June 3rd). During the course, TLT attendees will be in the class until 8:00pm. Afterward, they will join the rest of the youth group. Most of the incoming 6th grade students will have other siblings around; so everyone can come and go at the same time. I will be around to welcome any student 7th grade and above.
