Youth Sermon: What Will This Treasure Do with Me?

God's Light in Our Darkness

Life can be tough, right? But instead of just leaving us in the dark, God shines a light into our lives. He doesn't just tell us off; He gives us hope and changes us.

God shines a light into our lives.

Jesus is Boss, We're His Crew

Paul talks about Jesus being the boss and us being His crew. Jesus is in charge, and we're here to follow His lead.

Treasure in Backpacks

We've got this amazing treasure - Jesus - in our ordinary, everyday lives. It's not about what we're gonna do with Jesus, but what Jesus is gonna do with us.

Jesus Keeps Us Going

Life throws a lot at us, but we're not crushed or abandoned. Jesus keeps us going and gives us the strength to keep on keeping on.

Showing Jesus' Power Through Our Lives

We're called to live in a way that shows Jesus' sacrifice and power. When we keep going, even when life is tough, we're showing the world Jesus' power.

Life Application

So, what does this mean for us? It means that no matter how ordinary or messed up our lives may seem, we carry an extraordinary treasure - Jesus. And He's not just there to make us feel good; He's there to change us and use us to show His love to the world.
