‘The Jesus Test” Details
“The Jesus Test” is a 3 night event designed to reach lost teenagers! For that reason, it should take place somewhere in your community other than the church building. Possible sites include football stadiums, city parks, skate parks, rodeo arenas, civic auditoriums, or block parties. The key is to pick a spot where youth will readily come. We will hold in Lion’s Park
FRIDAY NIGHT: Live Music, Prizes, a Question & Answer Dialogue.
Friday night opens with a Christian Rock/Alternative Concert.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Live Music, Prizes, and a Message
Saturday night opens with more music and is followed by a ‘Question and Answer Session” with questions coming from the teens in attendance. This is an opportunity for the gospel to return to Benson. The discussion will be led by guest speaker Robert Barge and staff members of the host churches. Imagine how shocked some teens might be to think we actually want to hear what they think!
SUNDAY NIGHT: Live Music, the Grand Prize, and a Big Challenge
Sunday night continues with more music and a drawing for the Grand Prize. Another message will be given and listeners will be challenged to take “The Jesus Test.” They will be challenged to consider Jesus Christ for 30 days. Consider what He said – consider what He did – consider who He was. Consider what it would look like to follow Jesus – consider why anyone would want to follow Him!
The teens that accept the challenge will be given a booklet with 30 days worth of devotional challenges about Jesus.
THE FINAL HARVEST NIGHT:
At the end of 30 days, the youth who accept the challenge will be asked to return to “The Final Event” for an opportunity to make the most important decision in their life. This will fall on or close to a Wednesday night. The closing event of the strategy may take place at one of the Churches or back at the original location.
Can Christian teenagers benefit from “The Jesus Test?” Yes. Many Christian teenagers have never participated in any kind of discipleship. “The Jesus Test” examines who Jesus really is and what He expects from would-be followers.
Thank you for taking the time to read through this and if you don't feel God calling you to be involved in some way that is okay. All we ask is that you add this event to your prayers.
Thank You and God Bless
