Is there are particular series that focuses on the empowerment of the Holy Spirit in a believers life? I looked at the “Choose Wisely” four part series and two of the lessons are based on Acts, but it seems like a pretty broad focus on making wise decisions. Does it really drill down to our need for Christ and the empowerment we have through the Spirit over every area of our life?

Thanks for the ideas. We just did GAME PLAN. What’s your game plan? Everyone wore team shirts. I taught in a referee jersey. What’s God’s game plan for your life? What happens when you aren’t firm in the game plan (hypocrisy, lukewarm). What’s Satan’s game plan for you?

In response to the previous thought that the title should come after reading scripture. I do agree but it’s possible to get a title like CALL OF DUTY, since its already used in homes everywhere, and pray into it, and that message unfold. THAT title alone gets my attention and will that of every teen who sees, or hears it advertised, because they are familiar with it. I’m loving these ideas.

Hey Dave,

Scary Jesus sounds cool, do you have audio, video, sermon notes you could share?

Have a great day!

We just finished a series on the armor of God called six round knockout. We made our stage into a boxing ring with a punching bag hanging from the ceiling. We used the rocky videos to be our openers. We even made a count
down to go along with the theme using eye of the tiger music. Here is a link to that countdown feel free to use it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWpPU3NYjO0

We just did an identity in Christ series called “RPG: Real Personal God” it was fun to use elements of role-playing games and rocket propelled grenades (we’re situated next to a marine base, so many of our students were more familiar with that than the roleplaying games) to illustrate who God is, who we are in response, and what it looks like when that relationship with our real God is restored.

JG- I know that and I know that’s where you come from but I know too many leaders who look for a cool theme or build an entire series on an illustration and then attach some verses. I’m not one of those grumpy frumpy anti-everything kinds of guys, I just feel like one reason youth leaders are not seen as “real pastors” is because their speaking/preaching/teaching is weak. Often we are seen as needing a fancy title or catchy name or crazxy media to make up for that weakness. There was a Collide article which talked about this type of thing where John Piper mentioned he wasn’t so big on media illustrations mostly because he felt they were used to cover up weak teaching.

So we’re on the same page I think. And my students loved the PDYM Student Leadership Conference.

Jeff … dude, EVERYTHING revolves around Scripture. Just fun naming the series you teach from Scripture. JG
