Weekly Challenge!
Sunday, June 6, 2021
This past week, the youth were asked to name a favorite TV show or movie. We discussed how that show could highlight what Jesus’ life might have been like today. We posed the question “What would happen in your show when Jesus died?” The challenge for the week was to have family members each pick a favorite show and relate it to this week’s theme of “Why did Jesus have to die?” Youth were encouraged to go through this discussion with their family and then report back Sunday with their experience. (This challenge was adapted from the Sparkhouse re:form curriculum, Jesus Unit.)
