Mission Statement of Sunday Night Live:
Our mission is to help today’s youth Meet God, Know God, and Love God, by using contemporary means and relevant messages to meet the social and spiritual needs of teens in the 21’st century.
1.Social needs vs. Spiritual needs
A. Contemporary Means
(Whats all this fun got to do with Jesus?)
James 2:15-16 “Suppose you see a brother or sister who needs food or clothing, and you say, “Well goodbye and God Bless you:stay warm and eat well” – but then you don’t give that person any food or clothing. What good does that do?”
The perceived need was physical, it had to be met before the spiritual could be.
The perceived need of a teen is social, it must also be met before the spiritual can be.
B. Relevant Messages
We want to meet teens where they are and teach them to work through peer pressure and temptation using the word of God
(Why meet them where they’re at?)
1 Corinthians 9:21 “When I am with the Gentiles who do not have the Jewish law, I fit in with them as much as I can. In this way, I gain their confidence and bring them to Christ. But I do not discard the law of God; I obey the law of Christ.”
We teach from 7 basic checkpoints that students need to know to function as fully devoted followers of Christ after high school.
Checkpoint # 1 - Authentic Faith
This checkpoint focuses on a correct understanding of our faith. Confusion in this area is the primary reason so many students abandon Christianity. True faith is confidence that God is who He says He is – and confidence that He will do everything He has promised to do.
Principle: God can be trusted. He will do all He has promised to do.
Critical Question: Are you trusting God with the critical areas of your life?
Key Passage: Proverbs 3:5-6
Checkpoint # 2 - Spiritual Disciplines
The focus on this checkpoint is your devotional life. The apostle Paul says that true spiritual transformation begins with a renewed mind. Only as you begin to renew your mind according to the truths of Scripture will your attitudes and behavior begin to change.
Principle:
When you see as God sees, you will do as God says.
Critical Question: Are you developing a consistent devotional and prayer life?
Key Passage: Romans 12:2
Checkpoint # 3 - Moral Boundaries
One of the most important things a teenager can do is to establish clear moral limits. Students need to learn how to protect their body and emotions by honoring God’s plan for sex and morality. That’s the focus of this checkpoint. The depth of your intimacy with God and others depends on how prepared you are to draw the line with music, movies, sex, conversations, etc.
Principle:
Purity paves the way to intimacy.
Critical Question: Are you establishing and maintaining Godly moral boundaries?
Key Passage: 1 Thessalonians 4:3-8
Checkpoint # 4 – Healthy Friendships
The people your student associates with the most will have a direct impact on the decisions you make and the standards you choose. Healthy friendships build you up and draw you closer to God; unhealthy friendships bring you down and cause you to compromise what you know is right.
Principle:
Your friends will determine the direction and quality of your life.
Critical Question: Are you establishing healthy friendships and avoiding unhealthy ones?
Key Passage: Proverbs 13:20
Checkpoint # 5 – Wise Choices
This principle focuses on the necessity of applying godly wisdom to the choices you make. Good decision-making is more than simply choosing between right and wrong. Students need to learn to ask themselves, not only what would Jesus do? But also to embrace God’s wisdom behind the choices we make.
Principle:
Walk Wisely.
Critical Question: Are you making wise choices in every area of your life?
Key Passage: Ephesians 5:15-17
Checkpoint # 6 – Ultimate Authority
Freedom and authority are often viewed as opposing concepts. But the Bible teaches that true freedom is found under authority. This principle focuses on a student’s need to recognize God’s ultimate authority and to respect the earthly authorities He has placed over us.
Principle:
Maximum freedom is found under God’s authority.
Critical Question: Are you submitting to the authorities God has placed over you?
Key Passage: Romans 13:1-2
Checkpoint # 7 – Others First
Selfishness comes naturally to us. SelfLESSness, however, must be learned. The Bible says that Jesus “made himself nothing” in order to serve the people He loved. He put the needs of others ahead of his own. This checkpoint focuses on the true nature of humility and service.
Principle:
Consider others above yourself.
Critical Question: Are you putting the needs of others ahead of your own?
Key Passage: Philippians 2:3-11
