Scared To Live: When Life Is Upside Down
Sometimes teens are scared to live, numbing themselves to life and to those around them. The world can be a scary and difficult place. Barriers to wholeness of life with God include shame, sin, fear, suffering, and distractions. Like Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden, we hide from God, rather than bringing our troubles to him. In this series, teens will reflect on the painful struggles of life and find coping strategies such as lament, recounting God’s promises, and confession.
Using This 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.
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.
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.
