Stronger: a 4-Week Teaching Series for Youth Ministry TOPIC: Hurt & Pain SCRIPTURE: Old & New Testament DECORATING THEME: Running AGE GROUP: Students Life hurts sometimes. If you haven't already experienced it, there will be a day when you'll encounter pain, failure, or loss. Sometimes the hurt we feel happens because of something we do, or something that is done to us, or something that is no one's fault at all.
