Yesterday I preached my first ever message after answering my call to preach on Easter Sunday. I've never done anything like it before so I was giving a short message to junior church (8-13 year old). My text was based out of the "Spiritual Defense" message I had wrote and I had everything lined up right just as I had planned.
What I didn't realize at the time was that the message I had was a little deep into the Bible and that it's not always easy to preach to younger kids like that cause they're in between the ages of being just little kids and becoming young adults. I also didn't realize that because it was the first time I had ever done this that all my notes and areas I was going to expound somewhat into the word would fly right out the door when it was time to say them.
Nevertheless, I did share what I had and I do believe it will work in their hearts about keeping them from temptation. After all, even though I seemed to be the one that got the most out of my own message, I believe there were a few that will start to study and let the word get into their hearts as well. :)
Mark 16:15 - And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
All honor and glory to the Lord
Amen
