Would You Let Your Kids Go To A Youth Group Run By Jesus?

Contributed by David Smith on Nov 2, 2007

I imagine that, given the types of persons that huddled around Jesus, there would have, at the very least, been a fair bit of flirting going on at those gatherings.

We’re in Luke chapter 15, and Jesus appears to be partying again! Jesus was fond of saying that the Kingdom of God is like a party, and he seemed keen to illustrate that with his lifestyle, wherein he was a frequent guest at dinner parties and a not too infrequent host of spontaneous soirees. And ...read more

Contributed by Ricky Nelms on Jul 22, 2010

This is a Youth Day/Teen Day sermon (but good for adults as well) which talks about how Satan is a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour and uses a real-life illustration of actor Roy Horn, who was bitten by his beloved tiger in Los Vegas.

So Many Lambs, An Abundance Of Wolves, Too Few Shepherds

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 1, 2024

The events described in Revelation Chapter 6 describe the terrors that will come upon the earth. The lost are like sheep without a shepherd about to face this horrid time. We must bring them to Jesus before it is too late.
