WHO :: King

• Use the lead app to check in students and make sure any students not listed fill out a connect card digitally.

• Do not move on until checkin has happened and any students not listed have filled out a connect card.

• Take a moment to check in from two weeks ago: How did it go stepping into Following Jesus,

  Building the church, and Burying Hell

• Ask the students “What does it mean for Jesus to be our King?”

  • Designation: Have a student read Matthew 3:16-17

  • Demonstration: Have another student read Matthew 4:11

  • Coronation: Have a different student read Matthew 27:29,31,37

• Who is Jesus?

  • As we head into Collision weekend where we are exploring living fearless lives for those of us who follow Jesus already we will live lives that tell our story to the world.

• Ask the students to tell you the gospel in their own words.

• Ask the students who follow Jesus to answer these three questions:

  • What was life like before you knew Jesus?

  • How did you meet Jesus?

  • What is life like now that you follow Jesus?

• They do this by literally stating the question in the answer. For example “My life was full of worry and getting into trouble with my parents before I knew Jesus.”

  • As leaders guide the conversation to how important being able to answer these questions can be as a kingdom worker and especially heading into Collision Weekend.

  • They will literally have an opportunity to share their testimony this way at Collision.

• Pray as a group.

We will know we have hit our target if:

-Everyone can successfully tell their faith story by answering the three simple questions.

-Everyone has contemplated how they would explain the Gospel.

-People are clear on the Kingship of Jesus over all of reality.

-The students feel seen and heard from their leaders.
