Forever: a 2-Week Teaching Series for Youth Ministry TOPIC: Easter SCRIPTURE: New Testament DECORATING THEME: Series Thematic AGE GROUP: Students Easter is the day we celebrate Jesus rising from the dead, but let's be honest - that's not always easy to believe. How does someone just stop being dead? Are we sure it happened? What if it didn't? And if it did, so what? What does it have to do with our lives today? Well, it turns out we're not the only ones who've asked questions like this. When Jesus died, even His closest friends and followers had questions, fears, and doubts. In this 2-week series, we'll see how Jesus shared the good news with His friends that He really was alive, and that nothing (not even death) could separate them from God's love - not ever. The same is true for us today and forever. Because the love of Jesus is bigger than our doubts and gives us hope. BIG IDEAS & BIBLE STORIES The love of Jesus is bigger than our doubts. (Peter Denies Jesus: John 18:17-18, 20:1-10, 20:24-29; Romans 8:35-39; Psalm 91:14-16) The love of Jesus gives us hope.
