Trending Faith: Deep Faith In A Meme Culture

4 Weeks

Big Idea of the Series

This four-week youth series encourages students to resist the urge to stay in the shallows and instead to deepen their faith. Even though we live in a “meme” culture that wants to simplify every thought into what will fit on our socials, Christianity doesn’t easily conform to a word limit or carefully crafted picture. It’s all too common to repeat passages of Scripture we think we know or regurgitate pithy sayings we’ve heard in the past to make someone feel better or to get our point across. Instead of minimizing the struggles we and others face, we can embrace a deep faith that sustains us in all circumstances as we grow in Jesus.

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.
