Depression, lust, eating disorders, peer pressure, rebellion, cutting, immorality, drug abuse, homosexuality, and suicide. These are some of the things our teens deal with today. We must equip today’s teens for war. The Bible clearly tells us we engage in spiritual warfare throughout lives. It manifest in different ways. Some attacks are physical and mental. They can either cause us to back down or stand up and fight. The Bible instructs us in Ephesians 6:10-18 what we should do, put on, and how to position ourselves against these unseen attacks. The great thing is we are already victorious because of Jesus Christ. The sad thing is most of today’s teens don’t believe that or know much on the subject.
Our new message series on Vertical Wednesdays will be titled “Star Wars”. Most of you are familiar with the movie. When I was praying about this year’s message series, I felt impressed by the Holy Spirit to cover spiritual warfare. This month we will use certain clips and do our own skits taken of the movie to communicate some helpful biblical truths that the youth can use in their fight against the “dark side”. I like communicating creatively without taking away from the truth of God’s word. I pray that our fun skits, insightful clips and the Word of God will give our youth group the tools they need to walk in the victory of Jesus Christ.
