One Shot Youth Talks:
(15-30 mins)
- Light Rail Grace – Grace is a common Christian term, but sometimes it can be hard to understand. Using a true story about a bad date and a light rail tunnel, Tony connects his understanding of grace and applies it to today’s world. Scripture: John 8:1-11
- Light Bulbs – Light bulbs in our homes can go out slowly, one and a time, until we’re sitting in the dark and don’t know how we got there. By focusing on Peter having the courage to step out of the boat, Tony challenges us to have the courage to change the spiritual light bulbs in our own lives. Scripture: Matthew 14:22-33
- I Believe in Miracles – God challenges us to do crazy things and every once in a while, crazy things happen when we trust God…like miracles. The apostle Paul’s life was peppered with these experiences. Scripture: Acts 28:1-6
- Praying for Keeps – Why does prayer matter? What does it do? In this message, Tony tackles thought questions around prayer. The message concludes in a challenge for listeners to engage in disciplined prayer life and strategies to make that happen in today’s busy world. Scripture: Luke 18:13-14
- This changes everything. Much like characters in a movie, our loving God invites us into God’s story with an invitation to adventure. When we accept the invitation, it changes everything. Scripture: John 1:35-51
- Revolution – A look at why Jesus came and his provocative first public message. Jesus challenged the Jewish leaders by saying, “The system you set-up is rigged to favor you, it oppresses people that God loves, we are going to reset it, to show God’s love for everyone.” Scripture: Luke 4:16-30
These messages also make great sermons if your church needs a guest preacher or pulpit supply.
Youth Talk Progressions
(3-6 sessions, each about 25 mins in length. Great for weekend retreats, conferences, and camps.)
- Walking with Jesus – A progression of talks looking at who Jesus was, how He taught us to live, and how following Him changes everything. Focuses on creating an understanding of the basic Gospel message.
- Livin’ It – A progression of five encounters Jesus has with everyday people, as seen in Matthew 8. As Jesus turns the world upside down for those he encounters, the audience learns how those encounters can be used to turn their own lives on their heads.
Youth Breakout Sessions

- Smart Technology – Having smart phones in just about everyone’s pocket changes how we think, learn, play, and connect with people and God. Gain freedom in controlling technology rather than technology controlling you.
