Wrapping Up Short Powerful Sermons for Youth
Prepare to View the Film
Before we see the movie, think about some questions we wrestled with. The film’s characters struggle with the same things. In fact, the song this movie title references has a powerful line. It goes, “Even when I don’t see, I still believe.”
If you’re having trouble seeing, understanding, or believing in God’s plan and answers for you, know you’re not alone. Mary, Martha, Jeremy Camp, Lazarus, and even Jesus all struggled too.
They had to learn for themselves that God is still good, even when we don’t get what we want. Let’s pray together.
(Youth pastor: After sharing this youth ministry sermon, watch the movie together. Seeing the film will provide ample talking points. May God give you wisdom in your responses!)
Follow-Up Questions
After watching the movie, use these discussion questions:
- Why didn’t God just heal Jeremy Camp’s wife? Wouldn’t that have been the best for everyone?
- Couldn’t God also have raised her from the dead?
- If God is good, why do people die? Why doesn’t God just take away sickness and death?
- How do I wait well and keep my faith, even after receiving no answer for a long time?
