SERVE: Answering the Call to Build God's Kingdom- 5 Week Series

SERVE: A 5-Week Youth Series

Helping students discover the joy of living beyond themselves.

We live in a culture that shouts, “Make it all about you.” But Jesus flips the script—He calls us to lay down self and live to serve. This 5-week series takes students on a journey from surrendering their own plans to stepping into God’s greater mission.

Each week unpacks a key step in learning to SERVE:

1. SURRENDER – Laying down self for God’s purpose (Luke 9:23–25)
2. EQUIP – What’s in your hand? (Ephesians 4:11–13, Exodus 4:2)
3. REACH – Loving people where they are (Matthew 28:19–20, Romans 10:14)
4. VOLUNTEER – Stepping up for God’s kingdom (1 Peter 4:10, Ephesians 4:16)
5. ENGAGE – Living out your faith every day (James 1:22, Colossians 3:17)

What’s Included:

• 5 complete youth sermons in the YMC Format (Bottom Line, Engage, Explore God’s Word, Gospel Connection, Contemplate, Apply, Respond, Small Group Questions).
• Teen-relevant illustrations, cultural connections, and practical challenges.
• Small group questions each week to help students go deeper.

Big Idea of the Series:
Serving isn’t just something we do—it’s who we are in Christ.
