The Incredibles

I have been doing series in Kid's Church for the past several months. It helps build momentum and keeps the kids coming back each week. It helps the kids build and idea or purpose in their lives. The youth pastor and I have been developing our last few series together. 2 or more brains are definitely better than one.

Here is the series synopsis for my April series.

Series Verse: Acts 1:8
Subject: Power of the Holy Spirit
Series Big Idea: Everyday People…Incredible Power
Series Synopsis:
As everyday people we have been given incredible power by Jesus, the “Incredible Hero”. When we identify ourselves with Christ, we receive power through the Holy Spirit to fulfill our mission. Our mission is to connect people to the Incredible Hero for Eternity. Live For Christ…Change The World.

Message Title – “The Incredible Hero”
Speaker – Dawn Givan
Bottom Line – Be powered up to do it through Christ.
Scripture – Philippians 2:5-8
Application – Think like Christ
Message Synopsis – Jesus is the ultimate example of a hero. Even though He was God, He came as a man, an everyday man, and did incredible things through the power of the Holy Spirit. In Acts 1:8 He said, “You”. This was telling us that it is now our time to go and be Incredible Heroes. We can be powered up to do it through Christ as we begin to think like Him as in Philippians 2:5-8 and become the Incredible Heroes He has called us to be.

Message Title – “Incredible Power”
Speaker – Dawn Givan
Bottom Line – The Holy Spirit gives us Incredible Power.
Scripture – Luke 24:49, Acts 1:8
Application – Stay Connected
Message Synopsis – As everyday people our only way of doing what Jesus did is to be tapped into a power source. In Acts 1:8 Jesus said, “You will receive power.” God has supplied us with that power source by allowing us to work as Jesus did through the power of the Holy Spirit. We now have the power to make a difference and fulfill the mission God has given us. It is important that we stay connected as we live for Christ and change the world.

Message Title – “Incredible Identity”
Speaker – Dawn Givan/Mike Antoine
Bottom Line – A New Identity for a Powerful Mission
Scripture – 2 Corinthians 5:17, I Timothy 1:15-17, Phil 1:27-28, Rom. 12:1-2
Application – Rewire Your Identity
Message Synopsis – As newly realized heroes who are filled with an incredible power from on high, we now understand that our identity is no longer the same. In fact we are beginning to comprehend that we have a new identity. Christ has changed us and given us a power to “live for Him and change the world”. Acts 1:8 says, “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you and you will be my witnesses.” Cloaked in this new identity given by God, we can now live a life of purpose and change in order to make a true impact.
