The Decision of Youth
by Jerry Vines
Life is a series of decisions. Every day of your life you live on the basis of the decisions that you make. You make literally hundreds of decisions every day. You decide what you are going to do that day. You make a decision about how your are going to respond or react to the things that come to you. Life, everyday of our life, is a series of decisions. What I am tonight is on the basis of the decisions that I made in my past. What I am going to be tomorrow will be determined by the decisions I make today. Life is a series of decisions. Interestingly enough most of the major decisions of your life are made while you are...
Framing Values - Part B (3 of 8)
by James Merritt
We are continuing to make progress on our Extreme Home Makeover as you can see and the framing is coming right along. Last week we talked about framing values for your children. Today, I want to talk about framing values for your teenagers. Have you listened to teenagers talk recently? I want to be honest and tell you that I suffer from TLD - Teenage Language Deficiency. If you have listened to your teenager talk lately, you know that their favorite word now is ''like''. I counted up one time and Joshua, my son, used the word'' like'' - 58 times in 21 seconds.2. Teen speak is almost a foreign language. Let me give you some....
The Testimony of a Teenager
by Ken Trivette
Two mother's of teenage daughters were talking. One mother said, ''My daughter doesn't tell me anything. I'm a nervous wreck.'' The second mother said, ''My daughter tells me everything, and I'm a nervous wreck.'' 2. One mother said she was worried about her teenage daughter and son failing eyesight. She said her daughter couldn't find anything to wear in a closet full of clothes, and her son couldn't find anything to eat in a refrigerator full of food. As we all know, there are many more problems facing teenagers than ''failing eyesight.'' Listen to a few facts and figures about teen's. After 16 years of decline, the teen...
The Choices of Youth
by Stan Coffey
I want you to take your Bible today and turn to Daniel chapter 1. I wanted to bring a message today that I thought would be of particular significance to those who are graduating and to our young people. We're so proud of you. We're so thankful for you. We praise God for you and for the achievement you have made and for all that you have meant to our church. Our prayers are with you and your future in whatever you do.In Daniel chapter 1 there is a story about a teenager who made a decision that changed not only his life, but his decision changed the destiny of the world and the destiny of a people. We're going to talk about the choice that Daniel made, the choices of youth. You know...
Building a Youth Ministry That Stays Fresh and Flourishes
by Frank Damazio
INTRODUCTION: A youth ministry grows because of supernatural activity, thus growth is accomplished through the Holy Spirit. A youth ministry growing spiritually and numerically is a by-product of a right relationship with the Lord of the church. The health and spiritual depth of a youth ministry cannot be measured by methods, models, programs, marketing strategies, or organizational structure. The real issue is the supernatural empowering of the youth ministry which occurs when it dwells in right relationship with its head, the Lord Jesus. The spiritual integrity and character of the youth ministry will ultimately...
Youth in America Today
by Nelson Price
Jesus Christ gave new dignity to the home when He, the Son of God, chose it as the environment into which He came when He visited earth. Marriage was the first institution established by God. Little wonder that it is a primary object of attack today. Thus, with marriage as the basis the home was the institution initially established by God. One of the most strategic roles played by any human being is that of a parent. It is a challenge to be cherished. Let's explore some realms of family life you may never have considered. Let's take a look at youth in America today. Let me urge you not to stop listening until this...
Message to Young People on Sowing and Reaping
by Jesse Hendley
Now friends, if you have your Bibles, I would like for you to turn with me to Galatians 6:7, and I want to speak to you today about YOUNG PEOPLE and the challenge of SIN being made to their hearts today. This is a WARNING message, along the lines that I have been preaching to youth on Youth Nights in my revival meetings. My subject is ''Sin, Sex, or the Saviour?'' It is a PLAIN message, a message of WARNING TO YOUTH. In the Southern Baptist Convention last year I heard men speak very plainly against SIN that is ruining our nation, sapping the spiritual strength of our people, and leading us down to ruin. One...
Youth Faith
by Roger Thomas
Introduction: I want to talk about church camp today. I do so for a number of reasons. As with many churches, camp has always been a big part of this congregation's ministry to young people. How many of you here today attended church camp when you were younger. My kids and grandkids all attend camp. I did too back in the Stone Age. I have been involved in camp for most of my life. I would hate to think where and what I would be today if it were not for the positive influence of church camp. Camp was what ignited my faith in Christ and love for the Bible. I know that's true for many of you. What's camp like? What happens....
Outsiders Education (5 of 9)
by Steve Jones
Introduction: I want you to do a little imagination exercise with me this morning. While I'm delivering this message, after the message during the song service, and after the services as people are mingling around I want you to look around at the children and teens that are here among us. Many of them will be familiar faces. They are the faces of our friends' sons and daughters. They are the friends that our children bring home after youth group. They are OUR children...the ones who have been faithfully following us to church, in some cases for years. Now, imagine that two-thirds of them, the boys and girls, the kids who...
A Teenager Who Made a Difference
by Miles Seaborn
INTRO. An airline pilot has defined flying as ''hours and hours of absolute boredom and monotony mixed with a few moments of sheer panic.''Now when we think about raising teenagers the opposite of that definition seems to be appropriate. ''Hours and hours of sheer panic mixed with a few seconds of boredom and monotony.''But for Jeanne and I and many other parents teenagers became our favorite years of family life. One of the things I appreciate about teens is that they are too impressed with theory, they much prefer reality - real life people who face real-to-life issues. Teens! What they need are models that...
How to Live a G-Rated Life in an X-Rated World
by Brad Whitt
INTRO: I want you to take your bibles now this morning and be finding your place at Psalm 119 if you will. I'm really excited to have Chad Hall and our Ignite Student Ministry with us this morning. They've been together since Friday afternoon for a Disciple Now weekend. They've worshipped together and learned together and eaten together. They've stayed up late and gotten up early. They've shared with each other what the Lord is doing and wants to do in their lives. They've driven their leaders half crazy, and all of this fun and fellowship has been geared around the theme of "a passion for purity." I hope and I pray that you have a passion for purity. James defines purity as...
Finding the Family Altar (3 of 5)
by Ron Cox
Psalm 119:9-11-How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to Your word. 10 With my whole heart I have sought You; Oh, let me not wander from Your commandments! 11 Your word I have hidden in my heart, That I might not sin against You! I would like to deal with a subject that is all but forgotten by many in our country today. So neglected in fact that it is often not even thought of by many especially in the church! The evangelicals! The Bible believing, bible teaching people that are saved and on their way to heaven.Questions: How many believe the bible is the only source of truth...that it is God's...
Honor Thy Parents
by Stan Coffey
Praise God. Amen. Praise the Lord. What a great time we've had in the Lord today. I thank Him for the way He has blessed our church with so much talent and with such willing people - the orchestra, the choir and all the praise team. Everyone did such a good job making this a special Mother's Day. You know, in our church we want to reach everybody with the gospel - the young, the old, rich, poor, saved, lost. That's why we do different kinds of music so don't miss a Sunday because on the Sunday you miss we're going to be doing your kind. It won't be the same every week. It's going to be different. Just be patient with...
Dads, Moms, and Kids (5 of 9)
by Ernest Easley
We are learning these days from Exodus 20: God's Guidelines for Building a Godly Home! More important than building a business, building a career, building a nest egg is building Godly Homes! You may become the President of the largest company in this city and have great power and influence, but if you've not pointed your children to Jesus Christ, you've not succeeded. But on the other hand, you may never become a big success in the world's eyes, you may never accumulate a mass fortune, but if you've pointed your children to Jesus Christ and built a godly home, you are successful! I would rather fail as a...
Making Peace with Your Parents (5 of 10)
by Eric McQuitty
''A society that destroys the family destroys itself'' (Joy Davidman). Introduction: What shall we do with imperfect parents? Honor them! One of the bitterest pills grown children have to swallow is the realization is that their parents are not perfect. When you were born, your mom and dad were the center of your universe--the source of your security, the object of your love. But as you grew, that idyllic scenario cracked as you found the fault lines in their lives. Maybe you first suspected your parents' imperfection by things they said. Did they ever tell you that if you played with matches, you'd wet the bed? Or that if you...
Respect Authority
by David Cawston
A basic law for any society to survive is that there must authority and respect for authority. Authority is really earned. It is given by position.It's power is earned through fear and trust. Fear or respect is the beginning of authority. Proverbs 1:7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction."(NKJ) 2. Trust is the objective of authority. That is why the writer of Proverbs writes this progression in Proverbs 3:1-6 My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments: For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee. Let not mercy...
Honoring Father and Mother
by Adrian Rogers
Be finding the book of Exodus please. Chapter twenty. That brings us to that wonderful passage that we know as the Ten Commandments. Exodus chapter twenty. We're talking on this subject, ''Treasuring Family Values.'' Somebody has said that a cynic is somebody who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing. We live in a cynical age and there are those, many of them who do not know family values and certainly they do not treasure family values. I think you'd have to agree with me that there has been an all-out assault on the home and Satan has masterminded it because the home is the basic unit of society. As we said before...
I Love You Mom And Dad (6 of 11)
by Ken Trivette
A mother that had scrimped and saved to put her son through college sat in her son's graduation. She watched as he walked across the platform and received his degree with honors. As he walked down the isle, instead of turning into the designated row, he kept walking; down to where his mother sat. The young man threw his arms around her neck, kissed her on the cheek, and as he placed his diploma in her hands, he said, ''Here, Mother, you earned it!'' The fifth commandment addresses that which many parents have earned. Honor! ''Honor thy father and thy mother.'' The fifth commandment begins the second section...

How to Raise Your Parents (5 of 8)
by Roger Thomas
Today our Season of the Family turns to children. I want to talk especially to all of our young people who still live at home. The fifth commandment sets the standard. The New Testament quotes the command, "Honor your father and mother." What does that mean? The Hebrew word in the Ten Commandments rendered "honor" literally means to "make heavy" or "weighty." This doesn't mean to make your parents fat. It means to weigh them down with esteem and respect. The opposite of "honor" is to take someone "lightly". What does it mean in practical terms to honor your parents? I want to answer that in the simplest....
