SERMON: “Backpack Essentials” 1 Samuel 17:17-19
“Our backpacks are full of important things such as pencils, pens, paper, and even hand sanitizer. But don’t forget these essential items.”
1. Your Audience—Colossians 3:17
2. Your Community—Romans 12:5
3. Your Gospel—Romans 1:16
4. Your Identity—1 John 3:1
“The backpack filled with these essentials prepares you for more than school. It prepares you for life.”
APPLICATION QUESTIONS:
1. Review Colossians 3:17 and Psalm 115:1. How do these truths impact how we are to live and how do they add value to all we do?
2. Review 1 Corinthians 1:20, 27 and Romans 12:5. What does this teach us about the body of Christ and our place in it? Why is the church “essential”?
3. Review Romans 1:16 and 2 Timothy 1:10. What is the importance of the Gospel in our own lives and why must we daily apply it to ourselves?
4. Review John 1:12, Romans 8:16, and 1 John 3:1. In a world with many voices seeking to define our identity, why are these Scriptures so vital to keep in mind? Who alone defines who we are, and why is this important?
5. What is a single take-away for you and how will your life be changed by today’s sermon?
