Scripture: Hebrews 11:1–6
Ice Breaker:
Have you ever believed something before seeing the result?
Like believing your exam will go well before the scores are released.
Rhetorical Question:
“If God cannot be seen, how can I truly believe He is real?”
Teenagers today live in a visual world. If it cannot be seen, it is often considered unreal. The Bible teaches faith very differently.
The letter to the Hebrews was written to early Christians who were tired, persecuted, and tempted to give up.
Hebrews 11 is not theory, but encouragement for believers on the edge of despair.
“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for…”
The Greek word hypostasis means a solid foundation.
Theological Message:
Faith trusts God with the unseen future.
Cross Reference:

Transition:
How does faith work in daily life?
The Greek word noeo means understanding through God’s light.
Cross Reference:

Illustration:
Like internet signals—unseen but powerful.
Transition:
True faith goes beyond knowledge.
The Greek word euaresteo means pleasing God’s heart.
Theological Message:
Faith believes God exists and cares.
Cross Reference:
Proverbs 3:5 – “Trust in the Lord with all your heart.”
Write one prayer request and pray for each other for one week.
Call:
God does not ask you to understand everything,
He asks you to trust Him.
Poetic Closing:
Faith walks when eyes cannot see,
Faith stands when hearts still shake.
Not because we are strong,
But because God is faithful.
Rhyme:
School days long, worries grow,
Answers hidden, future unknown.
Yet I walk on, not afraid,
For my faith rests in God alone.
