What If: a 4-Week Teaching Series for Youth Ministry TOPIC: Justice SCRIPTURE: the New Testament & Prophets DECORATING THEME: Art AGE GROUP: Students DISCIPLESHIP ACTIVITY: Get The What If Project, the discipleship activity that goes along with this teaching series, here ! Some of the most incredible pieces of art were created when the artist wondered, "What if I ... ?" Their curiosity inspired them to look at what was in front of them to imagine something entirely different. As we grow closer to God, we realize that God asks us to do something similar-to look through the hurt, pain, and evil in the world and wonder what it might look like for things to be different. In this 4-week series from the New Testament and Prophets, we'll wonder about what it might look like to be a part of making a difference as we explore questions like what if God wants you to meet someone's needs, rest, help others heal, or make wrong things right? BIG IDEAS & BIBLE STORIES What if everyone's needs could be met? (Tabitha cares for her community: Acts 9:36-43; Isaiah 58:6-8) What if we could rest? (Jesus prioritized time by himself: Mark 6:7-32; Revelation 21:3-6) What if healing is possible? (Jesus heals a man at the pool called Bethesda: John 5:1-9; James 2:14-17) What if wrongs could be made right? (Paul and Silas in prison: Acts 16:16-34; Micah 6:8) MEMORY VERSE: "He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God." - Micah 6:8 (NIV)
