Keeping Up: Learning To Be Content In Life

4 Weeks

Big Idea of the Series

This four-week youth sermon series talks about learning to be content in life.

We live in a society where the temptation to compare ourselves to others is often inescapable.

We compare ourselves to others via possessions, looks, and relationships. The constant message is to keep up with what everyone else is doing, saying, and wearing.

Keeping Up explores what it takes to be content in life. And, how do we find that contentment in God?

This series looks at what the Bible teaches about these questions, in addition to examining the important topics of comparison, envy, and wealth.

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.
