This week we continue the P.E.E.R. A.R.M.Y. series. Hopefully, these brief lessons will help you turn your teens into an evangelistic force. We often talk about peer pressure, but now we're talking about using peers for a positive purpose.
P = Personal Faith E = Equipping E = Evangelism R = Relationships
The "A" stands for...
Advance
In Luke 9:1-6, Jesus send his followers out to the towns and villages to teach the gospel and to heal. It might have been easy for the disciples to hang out with Jesus and be adored by the crowds, but they had work to do on their own.
Armed and equipped it's time to send your evangelistic teens out. It's time to advance on the relationships they listed last week.
Send them out...
1. Spend time in prayer. Pray for each teen and each person they plan to approach in the name of Jesus. Ask God for opportunities to share.
2. Review the gospel and what the students will be sharing.
3. Depend on God. Jesus told his students to take nothing with them. Encourage your teens not to get wrapped up in tools or tricks. Let the simple message of Jesus and the influence of the Holy Spirit make the difference.
Challenge your group to share the good news this week.
