“After removing Saul, he made
David their king. God testified
concerning him: ‘I have found
David, son of Jesse, a man AFTER
my own heart; he will do
everything I want him to do.’” –
Acts. 13:22
When you are AFTER God,
He will lead you to bigger things.
God pursues every single one of
us. In 1 John chapter 2 we read
that each of us is anointed by God
– sought by God and chosen by
Christ to do big things in His
Kingdom. This year, Believe will
help Jr. High students ponder what
big things God might have in store
for them and come to a greater
understanding of the purpose for
which God has created them.
