ACCEPTED: 4-Week New Junior High Series

A 4-week series that teaches students that God loves and accepts them and they should extend that same grace to others. We are born with a desire to be accepted. No one likes to feel rejected, unwanted, or like there is something wrong with them. When we know how much God loves us it encourages us to extend that same love and grace to those around us.
