Week One: October 31 - November 1 |
||||||
Dead To Me (Alive To God) |
||||||
|
Big Idea: |
What does it mean for me to die to my self and really fully live for Jesus? We die to our selfish ways so that we can live for the cause of God. Or, to quote the late Jim Elliott, “He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose!” |

Week Two: November 7-8 |
||||||
Dead To Sin (Alive To Righteousness) |
||||||
|
Big Idea: |
What does it mean for us “to die to sin?” And, if we really did die to sin, would people see a difference in our lives? In Jesus we are dead to sin and alive for God. |

Suggested |
Song: "Crucified With Christ" (Phillips, Craig, & Dean) lyrics | listen Temporary Tattoos: Hand out a Grateful Dead temporary tattoo to each person attending service. Have them put the tattoo on their body where they can see everyday this week. This will act as a reminder that they need to stop sinning and live their life that will make those they come in contact with that they are different. They are like Jesus. This means they love people, they serve people, they treat people the way Jesus would treat them. |
|||||
Week Three: November 14-15 |
||||||
Dead To Comfort (Alive To Suffering) |
||||||
|
Big Idea: |
We die to our own comforts so that Jesus may bring life to others through us. |

Suggested |
Kernal of Corn: Hand out a kernel of dried corn to each person attending your service. Ask them to put the kernel of corn in their shoe throughout the week as a daily reminder that they are to die to our their comforts so that they can serve, give, and be a blessing to everyone that God might put in our paths each day. |
|||||
Week Four: November 21-22 |
||||||
Go Die! (Let Jesus Live In You) |
||||||
|
Big Idea: |
Everyone knows the sacrifices that a good mom makes for her children. In many ways she dies to herself so that her kids can fully live. It is no different for those of us who are followers of Jesus. We are called to share our lives with others (die to ourselves) so that they can experience the Good News of Jesus through us. |
