Big Idea of the Series

This four-week youth sermon series on choices and betrayal includes four messages that depict the faithfulness of Christ and his love and redemption in our brokenness.

We all have denied Jesus in some way at some time, but Christ still shows us love and restoration. He does not condemn us for our moments of struggle and denial, but instead opens his arms to forgive and restore us.

This youth sermon series takes a look at Peter and Judas’ betrayal of Jesus and includes four specific messages with real life application on rejection, the danger of a hardened heart, friendship and restoration.

Compare to series The Great Betrayal.

Using This Series Guide

What is the Series Guide?

The Series Guide is a comprehensive resource designed to help you lead your congregation through this sermon series. It includes weekly sermon outlines, discussion questions, and key theological insights to support your teaching preparation.

Each guide has been thoughtfully crafted to provide you with both depth and flexibility as you prepare your messages.

This series includes 4 weeks of content.

What is the Series Guide Not?

The Series Guide is not a word-for-word sermon script. It's not meant to replace your own study and preparation, but rather to complement it with additional resources and structure.

It also doesn't include all media assets - those are available in the downloads section.

How Do I Use this Series Guide?

We recommend starting with the series overview to understand the big picture themes. Then, for each week, review the scripture passages, main points, and illustrations provided.

Use the discussion questions for small groups or to spark your own thinking. Feel free to adapt any content to fit your congregation's specific needs and context.
