COME HOME – 5 Youth Sermons

Last week I spoke to 50 year 12 students each day on the Christ Church Youth Year 12 Study Hall (check out their swanky new website). The 5 talks were from Luke’s gospel on the theme “COME HOME”. We kicked off in Luke 15 and saw how the rebellious son and the religious son were both lost and need to come home to their father. I think it was challenging to both church kids and non-church kids.

This… is the Internet

Ed Springer and his team of leaders are doing a great job with Club Reg, the junior high youth ministry of Northmead Anglican Church. I hung out with them on Friday night and spoke about the internet and social media to both the youth group members and their parents. Lots of parents came. It was a useful night to run and a great way to connect with parents who aren’t part of the church.

They played a funny video on the night about “THE INTERNET”. I couldn’t embed it, so click here to check it out. Enjoy.
