The Championship
This four-week series uses competitive games to introduce and explore the topic of Christian unity. By flipping our understanding of these games, we can explore the different ways that competition, pride, and our desire for other people’s approval can get in the way of unity. When we see the real value of unity—how it glorifies God and makes all of us better—we can work to create it without squashing diversity or ignoring our differences. In the face of the pressure most teenagers feel to “fit in” or gain popularity and acceptance, this series encourages young believers to prioritize other people ahead of themselves, and to share the gospel by the way they love each other.
Consider using this bundle as a team competition series, where students are broken into groups and compete over the course of five weeks to receive the most points for activities and games. This bundle includes tournament directions and score sheets.
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.
