1.) Restore: Teenagers go through far more than we can see on the surface. Abuse, addiction, depression, and sexual impurity are just a few issues that face this generation. All of these things can take a toll on teens, but what they need to know is this: they are never too broken to be saved by Jesus.

Verse: 2 Corinthians 4:8-9: “We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed.”  Through this theme, you can show teens that no matter what they go through, God can restore them and use them in ways they could’ve never imagined.

2.) Recharge: Despite all the attention that adulthood gets for being hectic, stressful, and exhausting, the teenage years can actually be just as strenuous, if not more. Teens are expected to balance school, work, and their social lives, all while planning for their futures. So it’s inevitable that every once and a while, they will need to take a break and simply recharge.

Verse: Matthew 11:28 says, “Come to me, all who labor and are heavily laden, and I will give you rest.” Jesus promises that all who come to Him will be given rest – and that is exactly what so many teens need. This is meant to ease the burdens of young people and focus their minds on peace in Christ.
