Counter Culture - Teen Bible Study Book

The world is full of injustice and we are often quick to defend social issues that are popular such as serving the poor, orphaned, and enslaved. But there are other issues of morality shaping our culture that are more costly and unpopular for us to combat such as persecution, abortion, and same-sex marriage. The gospel compels us to stand firm on the truth of God’s Word and approach every issue with compassion and grace.

This 6-session Bible study will challenge students to fix their eyes on the glory of God and to counter the culture in a way that points people to Jesus.

Benefits:

• Provides students truth from God’s Word on issues we face in our culture
• Equips students to live counter-culture with compassion and grace

Features:

• Six teaching videos featuring author David Platt, approximately 15 minutes in length. (Available with the purchase of a Leader Kit)
