Here Am I Send Me (Teen Class)

This 2000 teen class series, Here Am I Send Me, challenges young people to think seriously about their walk with God and their place in His purpose. Through the lives of biblical examples—Ruth, David, Joseph, Daniel, and Isaiah—the series shows how faith, courage, and commitment can shape choices even in difficult or tempting circumstances. With a blend of practical exhortation and prophetic vision, these classes encourage teens to dedicate themselves to God’s service and to live with the hope of His coming kingdom firmly before them.

The Divine Game Plan

The opening class lays out God’s purpose in calling out a people for His name. In a world rushing blindly toward destruction, God invites young people to step aside from the crowd and embrace His plan. With reminders from prophecy and the certainty of Christ’s return, this study emphasizes that each person must choose whether to live for the fleeting pleasures of the world or for the eternal hope of the kingdom of God.

Ruth: Who Is Your God?

The second class turns to Ruth as an example of steadfast decision-making. Though she could have remained in Moab, Ruth chose to leave everything behind to follow the God of Israel. Her story shows the importance of making personal decisions about faith, rather than relying on family tradition or circumstance. Teens are urged to ask themselves who their God truly is, and whether they will commit their lives to Him in sincerity and faith.

David: Arm Yourselves with the Same Mind

This class highlights David as a young man who prepared himself to be useful to God. By exchanging human thinking for divine thinking, David became a tool in God’s hands. The lesson emphasizes that true strength lies in aligning our hearts and minds with God’s ways, humbling ourselves, and cultivating the spirit of Christ. Teens are encouraged to actively study, pray, and train their minds so they too can serve God with courage and purpose.

Joseph: Mortal Combat

Here the focus shifts to the inner struggle every believer faces—the battle against human nature. Using Joseph as an example of integrity under trial, the class explains how sin entices and traps, and why overcoming requires vigilance, faith, and reliance on God’s word. Teens are reminded that their greatest enemy is not the world outside but the desires within, and that victory comes only through spiritual discipline and trust in God’s strength.

Daniel: Purposed in His Heart

Daniel’s story provides a powerful example of youthful resolve. Taken captive to Babylon, with every worldly temptation placed before him, Daniel chose not to defile himself. This lecture underscores the importance of making conscious, deliberate choices to put God first, even when compromise might seem easier. Teens are shown that like Daniel, they must purpose in their hearts to follow God, regardless of peer pressure, opportunity, or circumstance.

Isaiah: Here Am I, Send Me

The final class draws on Isaiah’s vision of God’s glory filling the earth. Moved by that vision, Isaiah offered himself in service: “Here am I, send me.” The series concludes by urging teens to see themselves in the same light—called, chosen, and invited to take part in God’s purpose. With the return of Christ near, the appeal is to make ready now, so that when the call comes, each can stand prepared and willing to be part of the work of God’s kingdom.
