| Did I mention - have a blast a Youth Group! Photo: John Trainor |
More than likely - No.
In the world we live in today, it is hard to get new church members to come let alone new kids. Parents just don't seem to think that teaching their children about God is important at all.
Rest assured, there is good news.
What We're Doing in Our Youth Group
At our youth group, we have decided to make getting new/more kids to youth group one of our main priorities. As workers for God, it is our duty to share the gospel with others. But, if no one comes when the doors are open, who will we teach? How can we pass on what we've learned?
The problem is we can't do it alone. So, who do we bring in to help us?
Our regular youth group kids, of course!
Youth Group Lessons
For the next several weeks, choose youth group lessons that focus on spreading God's word, telling others about Christ, and winning lost souls.These youth group lessons will get the kids in the mind set of inviting their friends, family, neighbors and anyone else they can think of. Don't limit the kids to just bringing kids their own age. Be clear that the bible loves everyone and we are to love them too. Even encourage the kids to invite people they are not particularly fond of.
In the long run, that person may become their best friend!
What are some youth group lessons you can use?
Youth Group Lesson - Number One
Here is a great bible verse that helps kids understand that people can't understand God and the bible unless they 'hear' it. How can they hear the word of God? By coming to church and youth group. If they never hear the word, how can they be saved?Romans 10:17 (KJV) - So then faith [cometh] by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Youth Group Lesson - Number Two
People can live in this world as Godly or as wickedly as they please, but they can not live forever in heaven with our heavenly father unless they accept Jesus as their savior. For those who have never cared about hearing the word of God, they can't fully understand why they must ask Jesus to be their savior. We must attend church, youth group, Sunday school, and study the bible on our own if we want to be able to teach others about him and win souls to Christ.Matthew 4:4 (KJV) - But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
There are hundreds of verses you can base your youth group lessons around to show kids the importance of asking others to come to church/youth group/Sunday school/VBS or any other time the church doors or church functions are under way.
