Seventh Day Adventist Sermons for Youth

#1. The Foundation of the Family

Nowhere is the need for Christian parents to provide spiritual and moral leadership more evident than in the family. The family is a fundamental unit of society, and it is the first school of Christian faith. It’s more important to be a good parent than to be a good Christian. Parents have greater influence on their children than anyone else does, including teachers or pastors. As the primary educator of their children, parents are responsible for providing an environment where their child will grow up with a strong sense of self-worth and purpose in life—a foundation that will enable them to make wise choices throughout their lifetime, not just during adolescence but also when they marry and start families of their own as adults.

#2. Searching for Influence

• There are many things that can influence us.
• We need to choose our influences wisely.
• It is important to find positive influences in life, not negative ones.
• If we want to be like someone else, we should always try to be like a good role model and not a bad one.

#3. What Makes You Think You’re a Christian?

This is a sermon for youth that asks what makes us Christians.

Do you know why you’re here? Do you have any idea of the purpose of your life? If not, then let’s take a look together and see if we can figure it out.

What makes us Christians? How do we know that we are Christians? You may be surprised at what I will tell you. If I were to ask my pastor, he would say that being a Christian means believing in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. That’s how he defines it; but I’m afraid that’s not really true. The Apostle Paul said this: “For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God.” (Ephesians 2:8) That doesn’t sound like believing in Christ saves anyone—it sounds more like the work was done for us by someone else! And indeed, when someone becomes a Christian they actually become part of His Body—the Church! So now instead of defining Christianity as believing something about Jesus (that He died on the cross), or even having faith alone (Ephesians 2:8), maybe it would be better to define becoming Christian as being united with Him through sharing in His Body–the Church–with all its members united together in one body called Christendom!

#4. Why Did Jesus Come?

Jesus came to give us hope. Jesus came into the world to show us that God loved us and wanted a relationship with us.

Jesus came to give us salvation from sin. Jesus died for our sins so that we could have life in heaven with Him forever!

Jesus came to give us an example of how to live. We can learn so much about how to be good people from studying Jesus’ life on earth! He will help you see your own mistakes, and then he will teach you how not make those mistakes anymore!

Jesus came down from heaven because He loves you more than anything else in this world…even more than winning soccer games or eating pizza at Pizza Hut (but what’s up with making those two things into one sentence?)

#5. Seeking to Know God

• God wants us to seek to know Him.
• God is a God of relationships, and He wants to relate to us.
• God wants to know us, and we need to seek to know Him.
• As Seventh-day Adventists, we believe that God has revealed Himself in His Word and in His creation. We must respond with the proper attitude when He makes Himself known through His creation (Romans 1:20) or through His Word (John 17:17).

#6. The God of All Comfort

God is our source of comfort. We can find comfort in him when we are suffering, feeling alone or confused. If you are going through an especially difficult time, don’t forget that God is always there to help you out.

#7. The World, the Flesh and the Devil

In this world, you can be tempted in many ways. There will always be evil people who want to lead you away from God. But if you have Jesus in your heart, then those temptations are no longer a problem for him to deal with because his blood covers all of your sins and makes you clean again.

You may find yourself being tempted by other bad things such as alcohol or drugs. You might think that doing these things will make your life better but remember: “All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient” (1 Corinthians 6:12). This means that it’s ok for us to do anything we want as long as it doesn’t hurt someone else or ourselves too much!

If any of these temptations come into your life then please pray about them so that God can help guide us through this difficult time together!!

Short Message For Adventist Youth

10 MINUTE SERMON TOPIC:

Burden for the Lost

KEY OBJECTIVES:

This lesson introduces students to what it means to develop a genuine burden for those who don’t know Christ.

SCRIPTURE:

Romans 9:1-5

MAIN POINTS

• Discovering a burden for the lost.
  • Seeing people as God sees them encourages students to find something in common with others that will lessen the burden on the lost.
• What stops you from sharing the gospel?
  • I’m scared of rejection, I don’t know enough, and I haven’t thought about the consequences—these are common reasons that stop students from sharing the gospel.
• So Now What?
  • Pray for the lost.
  • Ask God for a burden.
  • Show that you care.

SAMPLE ILLUSTRATION

Your church is full of people who know Christ because someone saw them as God did. Someone reached out, took a risk, and shared the story of Christ with them. Have a person share a short testimony of their faith and talk about who it was that reached out to them and saw them from God’s perspective. This would be a great encouragement/challenge to have a student share in this way. Keep in mind that you may have to plan ahead to do this. If you can’t schedule someone to share, consider sharing your own story or even searching on the internet for a short video testimony (there are tons!).

FREE STUDY #2: BEYOND SINGING

10 MINUTE SERMON TOPIC:

Beyond Singing

KEY OBJECTIVES:

This lesson will help students begin to understand that worship is a lifestyle, not just an event. They will see that worship comes from understanding who Christ is to us.

SCRIPTURE:

Romans 8:31–38

MAIN POINTS

• The “what” and “why” of worship
  • Worship is why we spend time focused on God, telling him what we think about him in love and adoration. Worship is an act of the heart and it connects us to God. 
• What does worship mean for me?
  • There are so many ways to pour out our hearts to God, marveling at his glory and reveling in his mercy. Worship is any time we stop and honor God, showing our total devotion to who he is.
• So now what?
  • Start with the heart.
  • Who is Jesus to you?
  • Worship happens daily.
  • We all worship differently.

SAMPLE ILLUSTRATION

Either buy or make three Valentines. Make the first one goofy, as if to a friend: for example, “What did the boy mushroom say to the girl mushroom? Give me a chance! I’m a fungi.” Make the second one gushy, with sappy love sayings you might write to a boyfriend, girlfriend, or spouse. Finally, write the third one to the Lord. (Note: Try to stay away from things he has done for you, and stick to why you love him.) Be sure to keep the recipient of each valentine ambiguous. Read each of the three to the group. Ask students who they think each valentine was written for. Did they guess correctly? If so, how did they know which one was written to God? If not, what does this say about how we express our love to God and to other human beings?

Short Powerful Sermons For Youth

Here are four great youth sermon topics they should love.

Joseph’s Life

The life of Joseph is a great story about life being unfair. The fact that Joseph’s brothers tried to kill him and then found out that they could make a profit by selling him to slave traders. They thought they had seen the last of Joseph and for all intents and purposes, he was dead; at least in their minds.

They even deceived their father Jacob about it, making him endure needless grief over what he thought was the life of his favored son. Joseph was special to Jacob because he was the youngest born to his more beloved wife, Rachael, whom he loved dearly and so Joseph had a special place in Jacob’s heart. Imagine what he must have felt like for many years, since Joseph would be there for at least 8 years when his brothers finally came from grain due to a severe famine that had struck the whole region.

The point is Joseph never complained and although God never directly communicated with Joseph, even in prison, it was said “And the Lord was with Joseph” (Gen 39:2). It probably didn’t look like it to us because he was sold into slavery, falsely accused and thrown into prison, forgotten about, and yet, “the Lord was with Joseph” (Gen 39:21). Never forget that God is always with you and even in the silence of God there is the presence of God (Heb 13:5) and will turn evil into His own good for us (Gen 50:20; Rom 8:28).

John Mark’s Second Chance

When the Apostle Paul said that he wanted to “go back and visit the believers in all the towns where we preached the word of the Lord and see how they are doing” (Acts 15:36), “Barnabas wanted to take John, also called Mark, with them, but Paul did not think it wise to take him because he had deserted them in Pamphylia and had not continued with them in the work” (Acts 15:37–38), however, “They had such a sharp disagreement that they parted company. Barnabas took Mark and sailed for Cyprus, but Paul chose Silas and left, commended by the believers to the grace of the Lord. He went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches” (Acts 15:39–40).

Who was right? Was it Barnabas who was willing to give John Mark another chance after bailing out on them in the previous missionary trip? Barnabas thought John could make it this time, but Paul didn’t, so they split up. Who was right? Both were, as the gospel spread twice as fast as it would have with all four of them still together. Later, the Apostle Paul would commend John Mark for his faithfulness, apparently having heard the reports of Barnabas and John Mark in their missionary work. The point is, be an encourager because “love believes all things” (1st Corinthians 13:7), gives people the benefit of the doubt, or thinks the best of someone, regardless of what the circumstances look like. Be a Barnabas, which means literally “the son of encouragement.”

Daniel’s Obedience

Daniel shows that true obedience to God is obeying when no one is looking. Really, God is looking, but humanly speaking, we know that a person’s character is revealed by what they do in the dark or alone, which is the same thing they do in the light, in front of everyone. Daniel was a young teen when he was brought into captivity, but he was separated from the rest of the Jews because of his intellectual capability, and when they brought Daniel some of the king’s food, “Daniel resolved that he would not defile himself with the king’s food or with the wine that he drank. Therefore, he asked the chief of the eunuchs to allow him not to defile himself” (Dan 1:8).

Daniel was willing to risk his life to reject the king’s feast. He would have been outraged, and Daniel wouldn’t have lived past the day. Maybe this is why Daniel tried to reason with the chief of the eunuchs (Dan 1:9) but the chief was afraid for his own life saying “I fear my lord the king, who assigned your food and your drink; for why should he see that you were in worse condition than the youths who are of your own age? So you would endanger my head with the king” (Dan 1:10).

Daniel couldn’t partake of the king’s feast because it likely had unclean foods on it and Daniel was not about to disobey God so he told the chief of the eunuchs, “Test your servants for ten days; let us be given vegetables to eat and water to drink. Then, keep an eye on our appearance and the appearance of the young people who consume the king’s food, and treat your servants in accordance with what you observe (Dan 1:12-13). What happened was “At the end of ten days, it was seen that they were better in appearance and fatter in flesh than all the youths who ate the king’s food. So the steward took away their food and the wine they were to drink, and gave them vegetables” (Dan 1:15–16). This reminds me of a great point that Dr. Charles Stanley often says, “Obey God and leave the consequences up to God.” I like that.

The Apostle’s Stand

There are going to be times in these young people’s lives when they will have to take a stand for what is right, even if it means going to jail. The example I am speaking about is the freedom that we have to preach the gospel. When the Jewish authorities arrested the apostles for proclaiming the good news of Jesus Christ, Peter and the apostles said “We must obey God rather than men” (Acts 5:29b).

Thankfully, God’s favor came in their case, surprisingly from a wise Pharisee named “Gamaliel, a teacher of the law held in honor by all the people” (Acts 5:34), who said, “if this plan or this undertaking is of man, it will fail; but if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them. You might even be found opposing God!” So they took his advice” (Acts 5:38–39). I take it they didn’t want to risk fighting God. It sounds scary, doesn’t it? After this, “they beat them, charged them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go. Then they left the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor for the name” (Acts 5:40–41).

They obeyed God over man, and they paid a price for it, but look at how they responded. They didn’t go to the council to demand equality. They grasped for humility and took the beating as a great blessing from God, which it truly is (Matt 5:10–12). The truth is, if you suffer for doing what is right, then you re blessed, but you must obey God’s law when there is conflict, and this might bring suffering for their faith. It may help to keep in mind what Peter promised: “If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you” (1st Pet 4:14).
