September 16/17 and 23/24
The following Big Idea is for the following two weeks.
Big Idea: Knowing God is worth more than anything
Key Verse for 16/17: Philippians 3:8a (Contemporary English Version): “Nothing is as wonderful as knowing Christ Jesus my Lord.”
Key Verse for 23/24: Philippians 3:8b (Contemporary English Version); “…I have given up everything else and count it all as garbage. All I want is Christ…”
Initial Thoughts:
Week 1: We want to communicate the truth that there really isn’t anything better that we could do than to know more about Christ. We really need to put an emphasis on the greatness of God because week 2 will stem off of this. This should be SOLELY focused on how great Christ is, and NOT be focused on comparing Christ to the things of this world (that is for week #2).
Week 2: This week illustrates how worthless the things of this world really are in comparison of knowing Christ. An application is not living for the things of this world but living to know more about Christ.
