Time for the Student Quest Sunday recap for May 24th, 2026! We played Useless Trivia Home Run, a baseball themed trivia game I created. For our teaching time, we kicked off three weeks in the book of Ezekiel.
We had a few announcements/reminders:
- Download our app! It has our event calendar, updates, photos, social links, podcast feed, video feed, and more! Find it on the Apple app store and Google Play store!

- Construction is continuing with the church renovations! For the next month or so, students will only be able to get to small groups and the Sunday student hour through the main entrance. Just follow the signs to the student area!
This week I kicked off a three-week series in the book of Ezekiel. We met the prophet Ezekiel, a young man whose dreams had been crushed when the Babylonians conquered Israel and took him into exile. In the middle of that disappointment, God showed up in an overwhelming vision and called Ezekiel to deliver a message to his people, even warning him upfront that nobody would listen.
Two big ideas stood out: first, that God shows up, no matter where we are, what we’ve done, or how far we feel from Him, He pursues us. Second, that God measures success differently than we do. He doesn’t care about results, audience size, or impact metrics. He simply asks us to obey the next thing He puts in front of us, and He calls that faithfulness.
We challenged students this week to ask God one question: “What’s the one thing you’re asking me to do right now?” And then do it, whether anyone notices or not. Here are some follow up questions you can ask your student(s):
- Have you ever felt like you were “stuck in Babylon,” in a situation you didn’t choose that felt like your plans were falling apart? What did that feel like?
- God told Ezekiel his mission would “fail” by every normal measure and that nobody would listen. Does it change anything for you to think that God measures success by obedience, not results?
- If you actually asked God “What’s the one thing you’re asking me to do right now?” What do you think He’d say?
