Running on empty?it?s more than a classic song from the ?70s. It?s the way many Christians describe their spiritual lives. We have our spiritual checklists. We gauge our spiritual growth by all the things we do and accomplish and pursue. We think we?re growing because we?re busier than ever. Yet deep down inside, we feel empty and tired and dry. Somewhere along the way, we bought into the lie that Christianity is more about ?doing? than ?being.? But you and I don?t have to live life on empty. In this three-week Refuel sermon series, Doug Fields will guide you and your students to a new kind of spiritual experience?one rooted in building an up-close, spiritual, and intimate relationship with God. Doug delivers wisdom and practical advice on something we can STOP and something we can START?not with the goal of creating a longer checklist of spiritual obligations but helping us refocus on what?s truly important to refueling spiritually. Each week, Doug challenges our thinking on healthy spirituality: Week 1: It?s Not What You Think Week 2: It?s Easier Than You Think Week 3: It?s So Much Bigger Than You Think Help your teenagers avoid?or escape from?the performance trap. And if you?re caught in that trap, too, make a bold escape with your students!

Guess what? Life as a follower of Christ isn?t designed to be dull, boring, or sad. In fact, Jesus wants you to be happy! But God?s definition of happiness is quite different from the way our culture interprets and promotes. God doesn?t want us to focus our energy and efforts on pursuing happiness that is defined by our feelings and emotions. Instead, we can seek happiness that is experienced as we follow God?s plan?and as we?re fueled by God?s power. This inspiring six-week sermon series will challenge your students to pursue God-style happiness through the Beatitudes from Matthew 5. They?ll discover these life-changing principles: Happiness is found by following God?s path Happiness is found through humility Happiness is found through passionate love for God and others Happiness is found when we forgive Happiness is found by nurturing a pure heart Happiness is found by going against the flow

Don?t focus on your outwardly religious behavior, Jesus said; focus on your relationship with God.

One of these days, life will come to an end. Full of energy and vigor and a sense of invincibility, many teenagers struggle grasping the notion of death?and they have even more difficulty grasping the truth of what happens after we die. Is there an afterlife? If we go to heaven, will we be playing harps and floating around on clouds? If we go to hell, will we be sitting around on rocks in the middle of fiery pools? What does the Bible say about these places? In this two-week sermon series, Josh Griffin bluntly but appropriately unpacks biblical truths about heaven and hell. We get one shot at life, and we face a vital question that will determine our destination after death: Will we choose to receive the gift of forgiveness and eternal life that?s available through Jesus? If we say yes, we?ll spend eternity in heaven in God?s presence. If we say no, we?ll spend eternity separated from God. It?s that simple and that crucial. Use this series to spark your teenagers? thoughts on what happens after death. The End will help them discover that death, in fact, really isn?t the end?it?s just the beginning.
