Under Pressure

4 Weeks

Big Idea of the Series

For most people, the new year means a fresh start, but for students, it marks the halfway point in the school year. With just a few short months of school left, students face questions about the end of the year, the summer, and the transition to a new grade or school. Seniors, especially, are facing big decisions about life after school and “who they want to be when they grow up.” This four-week youth series invites students to face the pressures of the last semester of school with confidence in God’s help, God’s guidance, and God’s presence.

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.
