Youth Sermon: The Sent Ones

Introduction

You know how movie trailers get you all hyped up for the full movie? They give you a sneak peek, right? Well, guess what? We're kinda like God's movie trailers. We're here to give the world a sneak peek of what God's kingdom is like. We're His crew, sent to show off His awesome love, justice, beauty, and healing power.

Imagine you're holding a flashlight. It's not much, but when you turn it on in a dark room, it lights up everything. That's us. We're like God's flashlights, showing the world His light.

Peace-Makers

God's all about peace. He wants us to be tight with Him and with each other. So, let's be peacemakers. Let's squash beefs, forgive, and share the good news about Jesus.

Justice Warriors

God's kingdom is all about fairness. He wants us to stand up for those who can't stand up for themselves. Let's be justice warriors, treating everyone with respect and kindness.

Beauty Creators

God's world is beautiful, and He's given us talents to create beauty too. Whether it's art, music, or just being kind, let's use our gifts to show off God's beauty.

Healers

Jesus healed people, and we can bring healing too. Maybe not like superhero healers, but we can help people feel better. We can listen, care, and show compassion.

Conclusion

This week, think about how you can be a trailer for God's kingdom. Maybe it's forgiving a sibling, standing up for a friend, creating something beautiful, or just being there for someone. Remember, you're God's flashlight, showing His love to the world.

Let's pray: God, help us to be Your trailers, showing the world Your love, justice, beauty, and healing. Give us the courage to be peacemakers, justice warriors, beauty creators, and healers. Amen.
