Youth Sermon

Intro

Connect and Introduce myself.

Ask if i can share a a story from my testimony.

Explain the connection between friends in my testimony and the friends i have now.

Read (Mark 2:1-12)

We are going to focus on the first part of this story for a minute.

some of us are the man who’s crippled and some of us are the friend's with faith.

Read (Proverbs 13:20)

Read (1 Corinthians 15:33)

Do you surround yourself with friends that lead you to christ or away from him.

Or are you part of the friends that was desperate enough to break through the roof to get your friends to Jesus.

Read (John 15:13)

We want friends and want to be the friend with those that lead to christ.

(Be intentional with who your friends are, and what kind of friend you are)

Who here came to youth because of a friend?

Who here was the friend that invited some one to youth?

Do you know the importance of you being here.

To be a part of a community and fellowship with others weekly.

Read (Hebrews 10: 23-25)

If it hadn’t been for Wednesday night youth and being taken to church I wouldn't be where I am now.

It gave me a launching pad to where I am now.

Just like the we see in Mark 2

We can have the faith to show up and climb on the roof to get to Jesus.

Or we can be like the scribes Who questioned Jesus and denied Who he was.

Remember this the friends were only able to bring the crippled man to Jesus.

Jesus was the only one able to forgive his sins and heal him.

We have the opportunity to bring someone to youth/ Church where they can meat Jesus.

Maybe on of you were brought here tonight.

Maybe you've been coming here for awhile.

Your here today, your story can be like the crippled mans.

You can come lay at the feet of Jesus today and have your sins forgiven and be healed.

Will you have the faith to seek Jesus like the cripples friends.

Are you desperate enough to Move?
