Wind The Clock Youth Sermon

Contributed by Youth Sermons on Sep 4, 2023

Life is measured in meaningful moments, not just minutes. We need to be intentional with our time, eliminating time-wasting activities, seizing teachable moments, and accumulating meaningful experiences.

Have you ever thought about how long you've actually lived? Not in years or days, but in moments that really matter? Dr. Tony Campolo once asked a student this question and it got him thinking. Life isn't just about the minutes we spend, but the moments we create. Before we dive in, let's remember ...read more

The Ends Of The Earth Youth Sermon

Contributed by Youth Sermons on Sep 4, 2023

Jesus told His disciples to receive the Holy Spirit's power and be witnesses for Him everywhere. The Spirit empowers us to spread the gospel to the ends of the earth and see people get "hooked" on Christ.

Think about your friends, family, and school. These are the people close to you. Share Jesus' love with them. Then think about the next town over, or the people you meet when you're out and about. That's a bit further. And then, think about people in other countries. That's as far as you can reach. ...read more

My Schedule Is A Hot Mess Youth Sermon

Contributed by Youth Sermons on Sep 4, 2023

The main idea is to find time to rest, spend time with God, and give God control of our schedules to bring order to our chaotic lives.

Remember how God created the world in six days and then chilled on the seventh? He wasn't wiped out, but He wanted to show us that taking a break is important. So, we gotta find time to chill too. It's not just about catching some Z's, but also about taking a day to do something cool or just relax. ...read more
