Shift Session 4 – Kara Powell
Deep Ministry in a Shallow World
- We make about 250 mindless food choices a day
- Our youth ministries end up mindless too…
- In some ways there has never been a better day to be in youth ministries – but in other ways there has never been a more scarier time
- We have a feast of resources available to us… Why is it that students walk away from our youth ministry table undernourished?
- 1 Thes 2:8 –
- What % of your students will be serving the lord 18 onths after graduation – about %50
- According to Lifeway study – about 80% of the students who drift away from God after High School had no intention
- Video from LiveAbove.com
- www.cyfm.net
- Deep Ministry means we Ask then Act
- Kids are ready for deeper foods – we are offering red bull – red bull is for a time to help you out – youth ministry is helping them out in high school but then crashes in college
- Ask then Act… What gospel am I feeling kids?
- We started out good
- Then had guilt
- Then found God’s grace
- Now we serve God out of gratitude – a deep convictional sense, because He loved me first
- Gospel of sin management
- Eph 5 and 6 – commands about submission, armor of God
- When you see God looking at you, what expression is on God’s face?
- Ask then Act – Are student’s doubts welcome at our table?
- The Kids’ Table Catastrophe – New form of segregation in our church – Age segregation
- Ask then Act – How can our kids take their place at God’s diverse kingdom table? A new 5:1 ratio – 5 adults pouring into 1 student –
- Senior pastor asking for students email address to email them – WOW – great googly eyes!
- Ask then Act – How can I train students to feed themselves after graduation?
- We need help learning how to recover
- If Jesus isn’t big enough to forgive a little partying – I need a new religion
- Find a church/group – liveabove.com has a list
- We need training on time and money
- Help us set up a plan for the first 2 weeks
