What is my student learning in the Cause?

Biblical teaching has always been a foundational activity at Salem Heights Church. God’s Word provides everything we need for life and godliness (2 Pet. 1:3) and that goes for students just as much as it does for adults. As a result of this we place a high priority on teaching the Scriptures to our junior high and high school students. This takes place in various settings from Sunday morning messages given to the entire group to small group discussions in the home groups and D-teams. As we desire to complement and confirm the ministry that is taking place within the home we would like to provide a way for parents to connect what the students are learning in the Cause to what is, and what can be, discussed at home. Therefore we have put together some resources that are available for you to know what is being taught and how you can discuss those things with your student at home. I have heard in a number of instances that it is often times difficult for parents to pry information from their student in regards to what they learned that morning or that evening. What if you as the parent were able to know what your student is learning and can start the discussion that way? All of the Cause Sunday morning messages are now posted on the church website for download (below are instructions on where to find them). There is even a podcast that is available so that you can receive these messages weekly on your podcast player. As well, on Monday mornings I will do my best to post a few discussion starting questions based on Sunday's message. These discussions will be invaluable as you and your student walk through these years.

We are currently working through the Old Testament book-by-book and are now through 2 Kings. This past Sunday's message was unable to be recorded due to technical difficulties.

Until next time...


How to access the messages:

Go to www.salemheightschurch.org and look for the "Doctrine and Sermons" tab. Run the mouse over the tab and a menu will drop down. Click on "Sermons".

You now have one of two options for downloading the messages:

1. Click on "view podcast" to see a page where all of the available messages can be downloaded. Right click on the desired message and then click "save target as". You may want to save the file with a title that will help you remember what message it is. Save the MP3 where you desire and it will be available to play on your media player or burn to a CD.

2. Open your podcast player (iTunes works very well and can be downloaded for free at www.apple.com). Click on "subscribe to podcast" and after a few moments you will be able to access all of the messages through that program.

If a new message has been recorded it will be available by Sunday afternoon.
