Sermon Intro Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpFGSOS3GIE
Our book for the month of February “just happened” (in a Divinely sovereign way) to land on Song of Solomon. Bonus! I “just happened” (in a Divinely sovereign way) to be out of town for a conference on the night of this new series start, so our much wiser senior pastor came in to deliver the message “SEX TALK” to our students. He absolutely tore it up. The students loved it. They said, “It was AWESOME!” “It was HILARIOUS!” “It was AWKWARD!” I’m so thankful for a senior pastor who loves teenagers, and who is sincere enough to talk with them about anything. We went super straight-forward with this talk, because the teenagers need to hear it. So feel free to check out how he handled “SEX TALK” to a ton of teens.

CBSM Sermon Video: CBSM in 2011
Imagine 150ish teenagers getting together to go crazy in worshiping Jesus and then to get quiet in hearing from His Word. Our night together in Acts 2 was insane! At the start of the new year, I believed God was leading us to take a look at the start of His church in Acts 2, and then the start of our year as a student ministry in 2011. Listen in to see what we believe are God’s plans for CBSM in 2011. For more info and downloads, check out http://storylineframework.com/2011/01/06/cbsm-service-cbsm-in-2011-acts-236-47/
CBSM Sermon Video: The Virgin Birth – Was Mary Naughty Or Nice?
Tonight was one of the best nights that God has ever given us! We kicked off the service with a couple of Elf Yourself videos. There was even a surprise video a student did themselves with me and Justin Bieber. Needless to say, I revoked their church membership for that. Then we played a hilarious “gift wrap your friend” game. Our worship band led in some super-epic Christmas carols mixed in with modern worship choruses that went perfect together. I’ve never heard it done that way. Loved it! Then the message was on the importance, significance, and life-changing truth of the Virgin Birth of Jesus. Definitely check out our stuff on all this…and feel free to use it yourself!

CBSM Sermon Video: Proverbs 10-20 “Get Smart: When Life is Ridiculously Random”
God was crazy on the move last night as we went through Proverbs 10-20. We kicked off the sermon with another “Jay Walk All-Stars” video, and got to ask tough questions to the smartest man in the world for our game. Then we moved straight into worship, and just praised Jesus for who He is and what He’s done. Then we moved into our message where I tried to communicate that the reason God wrote Proverbs in such a random style is because our lives are ridiculously random! And because our lives are random, we have to be on our toes, think quick on our feet, and be on our guard for momentary decisions and choices we make. Wisdom from the Proverbs has to be ingrained in us, so we must soak in it. In order to communicate this, I let the students decide on the fly…which Proverb they wanted me to preach. Those chose Proverbs 18. I went with it. You can listen to see what happened next.

Sermon Intro Video: Clips from the movie “Castaway”
Last night was another BEST NIGHT YET! Two words that come to mind to describe last night are: EXCITEMENT and GENUINE. All night long the students were truly pumped up to praise Jesus, and the worship just seemed to be more genuine than ever. So the sermon was on “Is Moti INNOCENT of sin?” This is one of the most prominent answers I get from teenagers who think that Moti goes to heaven when he dies (Moti is a man on a deserted island who has never had contact with any other human being, missionary, etc.). So, does God reveal to Moti the existence of sin? Does Moti know that he is a sinner? How in the world does Moti sin? Is he cussing out the island koala bears? Is he drawing dirty little pictures in the sand? Is he torturing any bird he can get his hands on? This is an important message to understand how the entire world is cursed with sin, and how the only cure for sin is the gospel of Jesus!

I literally didn’t sleep at all the night before because I was so nervous and excited to start up this series and preach this message on Romans 1. This is a series on the Doctrine of General Revelation which says that God reveals Himself to everyone, everywhere, at all times so that they are held responsible and without excuse. So the question is: say there is a man somehow (HYPOTHETICALLY) born on an island, and now he is 30 years old. He dies tomorrow. He’s never been reached or contacted ever in his life by another human being. No boat, no plane, and no message in a bottle has ever come by. He dies tomorrow. Where does he go? Does God allow him into heaven or send him to hell? How does the Bible answer this question? What is God’s answer? What is your answer? Your answer will tell you so much about what you think about God, Jesus, humanity, sin, salvation, eternity, etc. Check out this mp3 and these notes to learn more about…is MOTI ignorant of God? (Disclaimer: I heard this series by one of my favorite pastors and professors of all time, Dr. Russell D. Moore. I have taken much of his lecture on this, made it my own, used many of his illustrations, and have come to many of his conclusions. So all credit to RDM!)
ktl 2010 – 09 – preaching with Intros, Conclusions, and Problems for your text

KTL 09 – Preaching Intros Conclusions and Problems for Your Passage (mp3)
This was our last “in class” KTL session. We spent the first part of the class hearing from the four guys who are preaching the Job passages. With them, we went over their passages truth statement, how it points to Christ, New Testament correlated reference, application statement, and main sermon illustration.
I taught the students on how to introduce, show the audience their need to listen, and conclude their sermon…during the 2nd half of the class. Introductions are absolutely critical to engaging your audience, arresting their attention, and keeping their attention. Many times people use introductions as a way to introduce the topic they’re preaching that morning. I rather like to use an introduction story to introduce the first main thought in the passage I’m preaching. I feel like if we’re just introducing a topic, then people automatically assume that we’re preaching a topic. But if we introduce the first major thought of the passage we’re preaching, then they will be encouraged that we’re preaching God’s Word and not just some topic on life. Introductions should always be a story…and a personal story if at all possible. In the introduction of your sermon, you want to start off with a story that would connect with their world (from your personal life), then you’ll lead them to the Word, and then the end of the sermon is leaving them back in their world. Introductions should be engaging, somewhat shocking, humorous, and absolutely attention getting. Introductions should usually only last around 20% of the total sermon time. Continue reading
on CBSM Making an Impact…Globally
Chuck Rheam (church planter out of San Diego, CA with Centerpoint Church) was CBSM’s guest speaker during our church’s GIC: Global Impact Celebration conference on missions. He whipped up a powerful sermon for our students on Saturday night of the conference. Check it out here if you weren’t able to listen. He basically preached on: “Do you have what it takes to be a missionary.” Listen to find out what it takes, and how to grow in it.
