We Have Access Youth Sermon

Contributed by Youth Sermons on Sep 4, 2023

While the Crucifixion of Christ allowed for forgiveness of our sins, the Resurrection serves as our entrance into Heaven. We all have a choice to make in this life. Will we follow Jesus Christ to wherever He may lead us? Or, will we try to do things the world’s way, chasing after meaningless, temporary and empty satisfaction for only a few, short years? The Resurrection calls us to have an Eternal perspective.

Today, we're gonna talk about the Resurrection of Jesus. That's the event we celebrate on Easter. But before we dive in, let me show you something cool. See this locked box?

Gather For Rhythm Youth Sermon

Contributed by Youth Sermons on Sep 4, 2023

The early church was devoted to teaching, fellowship, breaking bread, and prayer. They gathered regularly, which had a profound impact on their lives. We too can experience this impact by developing the habit of gathering with other believers.

Let's talk about habits - the good, the bad, and the weird. Habits are like the auto-pilot of our lives. Did you know it takes about 66 days to form a new habit?

The main idea is to learn to be grateful for what we have and find contentment in it, rather than constantly wanting more.

Hey guys, let's talk about something we all struggle with - always wanting more. You know, that new phone, the latest sneakers, or even more followers on Instagram.

A Simple Metaphor Jesus Uses That Is Surprisingly Complicated Series
