Middle School

In Calvary Middle School Ministry, we’re focused on helping students in grades 6–8 "live on mission." This means equipping students to live as authentic followers of Jesus Christ and impact the world by making Christ known – in their neighborhoods, school, community, and beyond.

Come grow with us! Invite friends to any of our programs or events. Connect and check out our latest pics on Facebook.

    STUDY WITH US: EPHESIANS
    Middle School Bible Study Series

    In this letter to the church in Ephesus, the Apostle Paul's aim was for believers to GROW in their knowledge of God and come to understand and live out His plan for their lives.

    Our theme passage for this study will be Ephesians 4:14–15: "So that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes. Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ."

    Parents and students, don’t miss the opportunity to review and discuss our ongoing study questions together!

    A Christ-Centered Home: Obey Your Parents
    Ephesians 6:1-9

    1. What are two responsibilities to do in your home so that you can glorify God?
    2. Do you find it difficult to obey your parents? If yes, why?
    3. Why is obeying your parents important? 
    4. According to Ephesians 6:1, how should you respond when your parents command you to do something even if you don’t feel like doing it?
    5. How does obey differ from honor?
    6. Give some practical examples of how you dishonor your father and mother?
    7. Give some practical examples of how you can honor your father and mother?
    8. What is the promise that is attached to honoring your parents? What do you think that means?
    9. What is one thing a Father should not do to his children?
    10. Why do you think this is commanded by God in the Bible?
