5. MESSAGE: Why does God want us to be World Changers? (Briefly explain – The Apostle Paul comes in for Skit 1 – “In Chains”. Journey to Antioch & Tarsus. {Robert Medina})

 

POWER POINT: God wants me to be a World Changer!

 

A.    Luke 10:1-12 (read) “Why did Jesus say Go! With an exc. Point (NIV)? {He wasn’t making a casual suggestion…He wasn’t hoping that some would “find the time” to go, but He was passionately pleading with them that they MUST go, no matter what! He knew what was going to happen to them!}

 

B. Michelle’s Illustration (Running the Race) & Robert’s “Missionary Running Shoe” skit. (He breaks in like a commercial right after she is done)

 

C.     Why did He say “lambs” instead of “sheep” (v. 3)? {explain diff. Between lambs & sheep – they were still “wet behind the ears”, excited, full of energy…He wanted them to take their energy and use it for God. When you are young, you have a thirst for adventure and fun. God knows when you go on a mission trip, you will get that thirst quenched because you will be on the cutting edge of doing something great for God. }

 

D. Why go on a mission trip? Go because you are young, not in spite of the fact, but because of it! You are adventurous; you like to have fun!  ** Michelle’s Illustration “I’m scared God will send me to Africa! **

 

E.    Why should we become World Changers?
    A. (V.17) “…72 returned with joy…” When they came back, they had an incredible bond – fire and joy were in their hearts because God used them to change the world together.  You receive a fire from God when He uses you to touch other people’s lives! They came back totally fired up because God was using them for miracles!
** Michelle’s Object Lesson # 1 **

 

6. OUR MEMORY VERSE: Mark 16:15 – Jesus said to the followers, “Go everywhere in the world. Tell the Good News to everyone.” (Memory Verse game – Rhebus)

 

7. Close in prayer – encourage bringing friends & return tomorrow night!

    A. (promote excitement! – stand, clap, etc.)

2. WELCOME!  Rules – Announcements – Prize Info (Songs?)

 

3. Sam Saint Intro (Dave Lacerda “gives mission” statement for tonight – “Mission Impossible” theme plays)

4. Ice - Breaker Game – Muscle Man! (Long Johns – Balloons)

 

5. MESSAGE

POWER POINT: (Michelle) GOD WANTS TO “SHOCK” HIS JOY AND FIRE INTO ME!

A.    Being on the mission field is like the “Electro-Shock phase of your Christian Life, it shocks you into joy and fire! Read Matthew 9:36-38 (Elaborate – also Michelle goes over power point again while Joey readies for “Dr.” Skit)

 

6. Dr. Reisendorferdetennilermorganblanker Skit: “Electro-Shock Therapy” {Matt on operating table, I shock fire & joy into him} –

 

(Michelle re-reads verses and power point while I undress from costume)

 

7. (V.36 – read) When He saw the crowds…
What did Jesus mean by “the Harvest is plentiful”? (Lots of taters to harvest?) 
** Michelle’s Object Lesson #2 **

 

8. There are people who need to come to Jesus RIGHT NOW! Jesus saw the crowds as INDIVIDUAL PEOPLE, and He wanted others to understand that the multitudes were REAL PEOPLE. The crowds of people in the world are not a nameless and faceless people; THEY ARE REAL LIVES THAT NEED TO BE TOUCHED BY THE POWER OF GOD!
** Michelle’s Illustration #5 – How do you lead… **

 

9. We need to pray! Jesus told the disciples they should pray for workers to go to the harvest fields.
What kind of prayer was Jesus talking about? (Luke 10:2)
Was it “Oh Lord bless these missionaries” or “bless these poor people”…NO! To pray for laborers (including US!)

 

10. Why did Jesus tell them to pray before they went?

A.    He knew that if they began to pray for people, they would begin to get compassion and a love for them and see them the way God does.

B.    THIS IS THE KIND OF PRAYER THAT GETS UNDER YOUR SKIN AND MAKES YOU REALIZE JESUS REALLY DID GIVE HIS LIFE FOR PEOPLE WHO SPEAK DIFFERENT LANGUAGES AROUND THE WORLD, BUT…..MOST OF THEM HAVE NO IDEA HE WAS EVEN ALIVE!!!!

 

11. Skit - Shipwrecked! The Apostle Paul’s {Robert Medina} journey to Phillipi & Rome.

 

12. COMPASSION: Jesus was moved with compassion.
    What does it mean to be moved with compassion?
    A. To have God’s kind of compassion and to see people the way God sees them, we need to pray for those people and let God’s compassion begin to well up in our hearts.
**  Michelle’s Illustration # 2 **

 

13. Jesus was MOVED to do something! Not just a “warm fuzzy” feeling, He acted on His compassion…we need to be doers of the Word!

 

14. OUR MEMORY VERSE: Mark 16:15 – Jesus said to the followers, “Go everywhere in the world. Tell the Good News to everyone.” (Memory Verse game – Block-a-word)

 

15. Close in prayer – encourage bringing friends & return tomorrow night! (Remind about Grand Prize!)

5. IN CLOSING…
Acts 17:6 – Jesus wants us to turn the world upside down, to be World Changers!

** Michelle’s Illustration # 3 – Good News **

    A. There’s a big difference between being a “sayer” of the Word and a “doer” of the Word…Even people in church are caught up in things that don’t have an eternal purpose – we need to be dedicated to things that will last for an eternity.

SHOULD YOU BE THE ONE? WOULD YOU BE THE ONE? COULD YOU BE THE ONE? WILL YOU BE THE ONE? {At this point be led by Holy Ghost, pray for kids, commission them…ask “if it were God’s will, how many of you when old enough would go on a mission trip?…pray for them immediately}

 

6. Salvation – Altar Call – Skit “Goin’ to Heaven” w/ Joey (Dufus T. Barnes) & Michelle {Michelle leads altar call – Joey disappears}
