Youth group
Jesus Stories
Introduce the new sermon series.
Michelle preaching to start it.
NT Challenge
1.
I will strive to read and/or listen to the New Testament over these next 9 weeks.
2. I will strive to attend each Sunday service over the next 9 weeks
3.
I will allow God to speak into my life through His word and the messages.
4. I will seek to take any steps, by the power of the Holy Spirit, that the Lord reveals to me over these next 9 weeks.
Why is this series such a big deal?
Many people never have read it for themselves, they listen to teachers teach it, and preachers preach it…but have never sat down and read the whole thing for themselves.
This is your chance to do it together.
Others of us have read the bible and would say we are bible readers.
You know then that the best way to know God, His character and his love for us is to know Jesus.
The best way to know Jesus is by reading and studying, and praying through the new testament.
If you would like some information about leading a group or using these resources in the group you have now, I invite you to tell me so on yoru connection card today.
Just say, I’d like some information about the challenge.
I’ll send you the guide so you can be prepared.

I saw a Ted Talk the other day that was very interesting.
Ted talks are these 15-20 minute videos online that address a leadership topic.
They are usually very good.
I heard one by Eric Whitacre.
I don’t know Classical Music, maybe you do.
He is a famous composer.
Got a video audition from a girl to sing in one of his songs.
AN idea struck him for an experiment.
What if he got people from all over the world to submit videos of themselves singing parts of the song, then put them all together for a virtual choir.
So he put his music on his blog, he recorded the music to each of the parts with a recording of him conducting the song and asked people to record themselves.
He hoped for 100 people.
HE got almost 200 voices from 12 countries.
He hired a videographer to weave them all together and he got a flawless rendition of his song that has been viewed some 5.5 million times.
Lets listen for a moment.
When one unknown person sings, the results are often underwhelming.
It’s just one voice, one song, one location, one audience.
But when many people come together and sing, particularly if all the people are all working toward the same goal, the results can be breathtaking.
Simply, when we are usually better together.
Review:
Responding to the second commandment
Neighbor 101
Being a neighbor…not looking for one to come to you.
Fences and Barriers
Barriers of time, fear, and forgiveness…how Christ’s love for us helps us to overcome these.
That as we grow in love of Jesus, we grow in love for others.
People not Projects
Our neighbors are people not projects.
How we can love them by being better receivers.
Asking them for help, borrowing from them, complementing them.
We said that our ultimate goal should be to see everyone, including our neighbors come to faith in Christ.
To enter into a relationship with Jesus.
For people to go from not knowing Jesus to being a disciple of Jesus.
How did Jesus plan to do this?
We are better together when we neighbor together.
Its about how we were designed.
We were created to be in relationships.
We accomplish His purpose when we partner with other Christians to love our neighbors as ourselves.
Let’s look at Jesus’s plan for discipleship:
Luke 10 reveals Jesus’s strategy.
He sent them out in pairs to every community…every neighborhood.
To the places he was going to show up - to prepare the way.
We aren’t saving people, but we are preparing the way.
The harvest is there.
Question is, who are the laborers?
We are.
Grocery store when you are hungry.
Picking fruit when you are hungry.
So we need the HS to send us out, because we won’t go on our own…until we get hungry
Those of us who are going to go to love our neighbor…Jesus’s plan was to send disciples out into the neighborhood in to the places where he had prepared a harvest.
but what does this harvesting look like?
Pray for them, their home, ask that God’s peace will welcome you.
Then build a relationship there, with them.
vs 7 tells us to befriend them, eat with them, fellowship with them…
This neighboring doesn’t have to be weird.
All we are talking about is to take people over time from being strangers to being acquaintances, to Building a relationship with them…In order to do that, just don’t be the social butterfly.
Invest your life in them…That’s God’s plan for how we develop relationships with our neighbors.
It’s about relationships.
We recognize that we can’t change anyone.
not even ourselves.
God changes people, our best hope is to take Jesus with us as we love our neighbors as ourselves.
This is the way that we live out Jesus’s teaching from Matthew 5.
This passage explains how we show Jesus to the world.
We are to be salty.
In the biblical world, salt served as seasoning, a medicine, and as a preservative.
Salt is essential to life, but our body doesn’t produce it.
We have to get it from somewhere else.
We take it into our bodies and it becomes part of everything that comes out.
We take it in, but it fills our sweat.
We take it in, but it fills our tears.
Salt gets incorporated into everything.
It works that way with food too.
A steak with salt…fantastic!
because it breaks down the meat before the grill.
It changes our food.
In the same way we are to be salt…to incorporate our salty selves into the lives of others change things.
That’s could be one problem with the church today…we aren’t very salty…and if we are, we sit in the shaker.
We never come into contact with those who Jesus wants us to be incorporated in.
Jesus says
We are the light of the world.
What does light do?
