NBBC 2024 VBS: Even Better (2nd-3rd), Night 3

Discussion Questions:

According to our song, what is it that Jesus gives that the world does not know or understand? - life

According to John 10:10, what is it that the enemy/the devil/Satan does that is opposite to the Life that Jesus gives? - tempts us into sinning that deserves death

Who is it that comes to live inside of you that demonstrates that Jesus have given you life? - the Holy Spirit

Introduction: Friends, last night we talked about how Jesus gives life through the Holy Spirit, making us God’s children when we believe on Jesus as our Savior from our sins and empowering us to live to please the Lord. Tonight, let’s look at a couple of phrases from the chorus of our song.

Friends, I want for you to see if you can finish this line, “Even better than whatever you had in …” (“mind,” that’s right!)

How about this line, “Even better than the … you’ll ever find.” (best, correct again!)

Friends, what these two lines are doing is comparing God’s plans to anything that we could ever dream up or something very valuable that we could hope to come across.

1 Corinthians 2:9 “9 but just as it is written, “Things which eye has not seen and ear has not heard, And which have not entered the heart of man, All that God has prepared for those who love Him.””

You see, friends, whatever this world offer cannot compare to the life that Jesus gives through the Spirit making us God’s children, delivering us from the punishment for our sins, and empowering us to live to please the Lord.

Conclusion: Friend, what we can imagine or find does not compare to God’s plan and what He offers when we believe on the Lord Jesus Christ as our only Savior from our sins.
