God's plan for dating - and not dating!

Dating can be fun and exciting. It can also be dangerous and risky. As we seek to find the person God wants us to share life with, we need to keep both eyes open and focused on the Lord so that we can honor God and bless others every step of the way. In Swipe Right 4-Week Youth Ministry Curriculum, students will be challenged to commit their dating and single lives to God!

Swipe Right Lessons Overview: 

Memory Verse: “Flee the evil desires of youth and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.” 2 Timothy 2:22 (NIV)

Who Says I Don't Have a Life?

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 7:25-38, Paul on Being Single

Is it true that if you're not dating, you don't have a life? No! Being single is a blessing few people truly embrace because of our love-obsessed culture. Paul shows us that if we commit ourselves to God during our single times, we can be an even greater blessing to others than when we are with someone else.

Objective: Kids will learn that being single is a blessing and NOT a curse!

When to Swipe Left - Staying Pure

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 6:12-20, Pursuing Purity

Not everybody is "doing it." Not all boys are "being boys." And behaving like "the boys" is not a sign of liberation for girls. Staying pure before we are married not only allows us to save our virginity for marriage, it helps us keep a clear focus on finding God's purpose for our lives and the right person who will help us continue to fulfill that purpose!

Objective: Kids will learn there's more to staying pure than just saving themselves for their wedding night.

When to Swipe Right - What to Look For

Scripture: Proverbs 31:10-31, A Wife of Noble Character

Dating is about more than just having dinner, seeing movies, playing games, and having fun. Dating is how we search for the person God created to be our life mate. God wants us to keep our eyes open and look for someone with who we can not only have fun and enjoy being with but who we can also serve the Lord.

Objective: Kids will identify qualities that they need to have so they can be a mate who will help their partner grow in Christ.

Breaking Up Is Not a Failure

Scripture: Matthew 7:7-12, God Gives Us His Best (if we ask!)

There's a common misconception that when two people break up, they must have failed. Breaking up a dating relationship is never a failure, but a step forward. Every dating relationship is a chance to grow and learn, and every ex we leave behind is a step towards finding the match God has in mind for us! That’s why it’s important to treat the other person with respect and the love of Christ as you navigate these difficult emotions.

Objective: Kids will see that breakups are not failures but an opportunity to grow and learn as they seek God's best.
