Strait-Laced: A Holy Rebellion

In My Feelings: FEAR

Fear is a common experience for all of us. The truth is, life is scary. We wrestle with internal feelings like anxiety or depression and external dangers that can harm our physical bodies. We want to be honest with students about fear and encourage them to let the words of theScripture shape their perspective. Three hundred sixty-five times, we are told not to fear. God knew this would be a challenge for us. We find the solution for fear in His presence.

HEY, BIG MOUTH! : Chill Out

Chill Out: Having an Un-Offendable Spirit In a world where everyone seems ready to take offense, Jesus calls us to something different. This week, we talk about what it means to develop an un-offendable spirit—not ignoring hurt, but responding with grace, wisdom, and maturity. Discover how to handle conflict the Jesus way, why direct conversations beat group chats and social media drama, and how your words have the power to heal or hurt. Learn practical ways to build a culture of encouragement and become the kind of person who refuses to let offense control their life.

HEY, BIG MOUTH! : Don’t Call Me Out Like That

“Hey, Big Mouth! : Don’t Call Me Out Like That” dives into the difference between biblical accountability and simply calling people out. In a culture that celebrates sarcasm, public embarrassment, and “keeping it real,” Jesus calls us to something different: speaking truth in love. This message explores how correction should restore people, not shame them, and why gentleness, humility, and grace matter when helping others grow in Christ.

HEY, BIG MOUTH! : Your Words Have Superpowers

Your words carry more power than you think. In this teaching, we dive into Proverbs 18:21, James 3, and Ephesians 4 to uncover how our words can either bring life or start destruction. From jokes and group chats to encouragement and healing, we’ll challenge students to recognize that what comes out of their mouth reveals what’s happening in their heart. Your words have superpowers — so what are you creating with them?

The Great Exchange

In the trial before Pilate, two men stand before the crowd: one guilty and one innocent. The crowd chooses to release Barabbas, a murderer and rebel, while Jesus—the sinless Son of God—is condemned to the cross. In this message, we explore how this moment reveals the heart of the gospel: substitution. The guilty walks free while the innocent takes his place. Through the story of Barabbas, we see prophecy fulfilled, the meaning of Christ’s sacrifice, and the life-changing reality of the great exchange—our sin placed on Christ and His righteousness given to us.
