The Bible Hub
What do you do when life seems unfair?
How do you feel when your results are not what you were hoping for?
Do you believe in the promises God makes to you in the Bible?
We would love you to be creative with your favourite Bible verses – the ones that speak to you in the good times and the bad – the ones that have helped you through tough times. We would also love it if you felt able to share your creations with us so we can share them with others; your creation might speak to and help someone else who is going through their own tough time.
For more information, check in with Chosen Youth Bible Hub
