    How To Avoid Hell Youth Sermon

    Contributed by Youth Sermons on Sep 4, 2023
    based on 4 ratings
     | 694 views

    The main idea is that hell is a real place, but we can avoid it by accepting Jesus Christ as our Savior, who offers us hope, rest, and peace for eternity.

    Today, we're going to talk about a pretty intense topic: hell. I know it's not something we usually chat about, but it's important to understand because Jesus talked about it a lot. In fact, He mentioned it over 70 times in the New Testament. So, let's dive into a story Jesus told about a rich man ...read more

    Dig Deeper Youth Sermon

    True wisdom is not easily found or bought, but comes from a deep relationship with God.

    Today, we're trying to figure out what wisdom is, where to find it, and how to use it. Imagine playing Minecraft. You're searching for diamonds, right? You can't find them just by wandering around. You have to dig deep, explore caves, and sometimes fight off some creepers. Just like finding ...read more

    Jesus loved extravagantly, and we can follow His example by loving others in the same way.

    Imagine you've got the most expensive thing you own. Maybe it's your phone, your gaming console, or those brand-new sneakers. Now, imagine giving it away to someone you really care about. Sounds crazy, right? That's exactly what Mary did. Jesus was chilling at a dinner party when Mary, a woman ...read more

    Encourage teenagers to seek stillness and connection with God through contemplative prayer, despite the distractions and busyness of life.

    Today, we're gonna chat about contemplative prayer. It's like a spiritual chill-out session where you get to hang out with God. But here's the catch - you gotta make time for it. So, what's contemplation? It's like finding a quiet corner to chat with God. Even Jesus did it, sneaking off to a quiet ...read more

    Confession and prayer within the body of Christ bring spiritual and relational healing. Through prayer and openness, believers can find restoration and help others who have wandered from the truth.

    Hey guys! Today we're diving into the book of James, and it's got some real talk for us. James is all about showing our faith through what we do, not just what we say. Today's focus? The power of words, confession, and prayer. Let's read James 5:13-20 together. James is telling us that prayer isn't ...read more
