Students today are longing to make a difference in the world around them, but few of them know how to go about doing that for Christ. This series is designed to walk your students through what it means to be a difference-maker and how to go about doing that as they learn from four biblical leaders that made a tremendous difference during their days.

Difference Maker: Impacting the World for Christ is designed to help students understand that they are capable of impacting the world around them for Christ. As they learn about David, Moses, Jesus, and Timothy, they will be challenged to evaluate how they are living out their own faith and the changes they need to make to live as difference-makers who see their surroundings as mission fields.

    DIFFERENCE MAKER COVERS THE FOLLOWING PURPOSES AND PASSAGES:

    Session 1: Called

    • To be a Difference Maker, you first need to understand that you are called to be a Difference Maker. Session one will look to God’s selection of young David to be king and his confrontation with Goliath that soon followed his calling to establish that even though our students may be young, they are Called to be Difference Makers for God. (1 Samuel 16:6-13)

    Session 2: Dependent

    • As Difference Makers for God, we are completely dependent upon God. In Session two, we will look to Moses’ interaction with God following his calling to lead the Israelites out of Egypt to highlight our reliance upon Him in our calling to be Difference Makers. (Exodus 4:1-17)

    Session 3: Qualified

    • We are qualified to be Difference Makers through what Christ has done for us. Session three will focus on Paul’s expression to the Colossians that despite what other teachings may say, we are saved by Christ alone and therefore qualified to be Difference Makers through Christ alone. (Colossians 2:13-3:4)

    Session 4: Charged

    • In the same way that Paul charged Timothy to preach the Gospel and to live boldly for Christ, Difference Makers are charged to impact the world around them as they live out their faith. Session four will work through Paul’s challenge to Timothy and each of us to live out our faith in manner that is worthy of the Gospel as we seek to live as Difference Makers who have been qualified by Christ. (2 Timothy 4:1-8)
