Making History: Unlikely Heroes

Making history is a big goal for any student. We encourage our young people to set out to change the world for the better—but what does that look like? It seems like a momentous task for someone who is still learning how to write a résumé, do laundry, and not burn dinner. This four-week youth series helps put our desire for notoriety in focus and alleviates the pressure to become a history maker. Studying four lesser known, but important, Bible characters teaches us that being faithful and offering what little we have for God’s service can make a big difference.

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.
