Weekend Teaching Series: The Road Trip Series Finale (week 5 of 5)
Sermon in a Sentence: God is faithful on the journey of life no matter what we face and wherever the road may take us.
Weekend Scale of Difficulty: 4 out of 10
Service Length: 65 minutes
Understandable Message: This weekend was the crescendo of the entire series – all set in Yellowstone National Park. The message hoped to give students hope and help in the journey, that no matter where the adventurous road trip of life took them – that God was present, interested and faithful in that journey of life. The video had clips of all of the location shooting, and recapped the principles we learned in the series. We covered most all of Psalm 19 in the talk.
Volunteer/Student Involvement: Students made up the band and ran cameras, lights, sound and directed the weekend. Volunteers jumped in to greet students and sat with them in the service.
Element of Fun/Positive Environment: The game up front included shooting marshmallows at a target in the balcony. Super easy, super silly and fun. Fun little countdown video as well, and a acoustic cover song up front of a Chris Brown song, too.
Music Playlist: Forever (cover), Everlasting God, Fill Me, Always Forever, The Stand
Favorite Moment: A student wrote a song called “Fill Me” that she performed this week up at summer camp. When I heard the song up there, I knew it would be a perfect fit for the message. She had written about feeling distant from God, but that He was right beside her – essentially reinforcing the message of faithfulness. She was brilliant, and the students responded with enthusiastic applause. Very moving, very powerful – easily my favorite moment of the night!
