Something crazy happened a few weeks ago. I had put several hours into a summer series, only to feel the need to trash it and go in a different direction. I’ve done a few talks on creative series planning as it relates to student ministry, and the one question that always comes up is this: “What happens when you put all this work into creatively planning a series, but then you sense that God is moving you in a different direction?”
Simply put, the answer is, “You have to obey.”
You have to bite the bullet and move on. And as much as it can seem like all those hours have been wasted, you have to sit back and smile at the fact that God is telling a greater story through all of it. Any time God’s Spirit moves, we’d better jump on board anyways. It’s not our agenda that needs pushing. It’s His.
So, the following video is the result of what God is doing this summer in our Wednesday night talks. Around 2 pm that afternoon, I felt a solid direction to trash the current series and start in Acts. So we did. This is the beginning of that study.
