Wednesday Night Services

Our Wednesday night service, for the youth, is called TheMix. It is an hour and a half long church service for teens; 6-7:30. We have snack food, games, a bible study, small groups, worship, and an invitation. The most essential part of this service is the teaching time, and this is how I prepare. It starts Monday morning, I know the series we are on and each week piggybacks on the previous week’s material throughout each month. I will read the new lesson and the verses that go with it then create my outline which usually consists of 3-5 main points; each with supporting scripture, sub points, and real life applications. I always keep in mind that the most important part of teaching or preaching to students is not teaching them a ton of biblical truth, although that it important, but applying it to them and things they can relate through as well as motivating them to see the importance of having an authentic relationship with Jesus. Tuesday I work on my PowerPoint presentation. I’ll do the graphics, import pictures, and make slides for all of my points wrapping up with a challenge. Wednesdays are my study days that I go over all I have prepared for and spend time praying over the lesson as well as the students that will hear it. Wednesday night services are my favorite part about my job; it gives us a chance to connect with the students while teaching them about the only thing in life that truly matters.
