This resource works as a four-week sermon series or even for a week-long camp or weekend retreat.

Session 1 - PRAYERFULLY DEPENDENT
Key Text: Luke 11:1–13

Jesus Himself demonstrated prayerful dependence, so much so that His disciples practically demanded that Jesus show them His ways. Help give your students a framework to pray different types of prayers and take the first step toward being a fully devoted follower.

Session 2 - SELF-FED
Key Text: Hebrews 5:12–14

As a follower of Jesus, just like in your physical life, you need to become independent. Sure, when you’re little you need milk, but eventually it’s time to move on to spiritual meat. What are some of the marks of a self-fed person?

Session 3 - HOLY SPIRIT ENERGIZED
Key Text: 1 Kings 19:11–13

Once we're prayerfully dependent and self-fed, we need to learn to hear the whisper of the Holy Spirit. As much as we’d like Him to, He doesn’t communicate to us through loud, obnoxious noises. Rather, He whispers. Can you discern the voice of the Holy Spirit? Are you ready to respond to that whisper?

Session 4 - GREAT COMMISSION DRIVEN
Key Text: 1 Peter 3:13–15

Peter encourages us to demonstrate Jesus as Lord, defend Jesus when people ask us, and disarm people by answering with gentleness and respect.
