Overview
Let your students experience the raw faith and rich praise in Israel's national songbook—the Psalms.
The 12 sessions in Creative Bible Lessons in Psalms (the latest in Youth Specialties' Creative Bible Lessons series) unwrap this Old Testament book so your students understand the passion, anguish, and joy expressed by David and the other Hebrew songwriters—and then learn to love the same God that the ancient Jews loved.
The meetings (which are perfect for high schoolers and middle schoolers alike) are arranged around kinds of Psalms, including—
Torah Psalms Seeing God at work in your personal history Complaint Psalms When you're attacked, is God always your bulletproof vest?
Royal Psalms Jesus in the Psalms Trust Psalms The God who really knows you, inside and out Penitential Psalms Shedding old skin—forgiveness and renewal Thanksgiving Psalms Gratitude is next to godliness Oracle Psalms How to hear God Taunt Psalms Battle lines are drawn
And each session is loaded with options galore: clips from easy-to-get videos, games for mixing and games with a purpose, in-depth and ready-to-use questions for small-group discussions, original role plays, low-prep scripts, talks for you to give—activities to choose from that give your students not only a memorable time in youth group, but a taste of both the quiet trust and the boisterous celebration that the Psalms overflow with.
Perfect for Sunday school teachers, youth workers, volunteers, CE directors, DREs, associate pastors—whoever wants to minister to real teenagers in a real world.
