Fbcj Solid Youth

**Poor audio quality** The goal of this series is for us to see not only what we believe but WHY we believe it. We also want to have a better understanding of the various beliefs found all around us so that we can better reach our community with the true gospel and see people come to GENUINE salvation. We kick off our fall series looking at what the Bible says constitutes a true local church.

It's during times of transition where the enemy seems to attack the most subtly. With school starting back up, and with two new studies on the way, we need to take some time of introspection to look at this all-important minor prophet. This book packs a punch, and it's what SOLID needs to help us stay focused in this time of transition.

*Opening testimony by Alex Mencini* We close out our study on the crowns by looking at the subject matter of balance and temperance. If you're a spiritual athlete running the race and fighting the good fight, you need to know how to tap into this.

Daniel's entire life was upended at the age of 15 as he was trafficked away from everything he knew. But rather than face all kinds of horrors, he was given the world and everything in it (1 Jn. 2:15-17) on a platter. He could have given himself over to the world had it not been for his purpose-driven heart. What would you do in that situation?

These back-to-back crowns go hand-in-hand as they both have to do with loving people. Remember: we're going to be tried not for how much we did these things, but "what sort it is" (1 Cor. 3:13). Is your heart for these causes?

Rather than go to 2 Kings 22, we're setting our sights on the 2 Chronicles account for additional details that are often left out for Josiah's story. What is it that God really wants you to do when you discover the book for yourself?

This one gets heavy...Often nicknamed "The Martyr's Crown", you don't necessarily have to die a physical death in order to achieve it, but it must be through death that it is earned.

God took us on a bit of a detour with this message to look at what our response should be to the things that are outside the realm of our control. We also look at the key to V.I.C.T.O.R.Y. over giants as well as finishing the character qualities of David that made him a teen God used.

This crown Paul knew he was going to receive as he reached the end of his life (2 Tim. 4:8). How sure are you that the gold, silver, and precious stones of your service will earn you this crown?

We often think of David as a beast for slaying a bear, lion, Goliath and thousands upon thousands of Israel's enemies. Yet, God tells us that as a teenager, he refuses people that have it all together on the outside. David's heart and humility as a teenager set him apart from the rest.

However, this probably wouldn't have been the case had he not been in the right place, at the right time, doing the right things as a child. How do you respond when things are outside of your control?

If the rapture were to occur before you finished reading this sentence, the next step in your journey is to give an account for your service to the Lord Jesus Christ. Are you making yourself ready for your wedding day (Rev. 19:7-8) or will you be ashamed at his coming (1 Jn. 2:28)?

*Download our new SOLID Devotional here!* We can grow so accustomed to the Bible stories that happen to adults that we forget how many occur during the teen years. We kick off this study looking at a 17-year-old who possessed impeccable character which God then used to not only bring his family together, but to "save many people alive".

It's a new day and a new group that comprises SOLID. We all need reminded of who we are and why we do what we do. This time, we glean an example from the Scriptures to help us understand our role in the body of Christ.

The last words of Joshua serve as both a send-off message to our seniors as well as a charge to the underclassmen: when you cleave unto the Lord, you will be a force to be reckoned with. But if you choose to cleave to the world and your flesh, you'll find out that God is very good at keeping his commitments.

A common thread for many of us from camp was "boldness". Today we take a look at some passages on the topic that aren't your typical Sunday School verses as well as an example of the wrong kind of boldness.

Here in Daniel 6, a plot has been set against Daniel in an attempt to take his life. Daniel is put in a position where he must make a decision: stay committed to the Lord or succumb to the pressure.
