We have a question from Sebastian.

He writes, quote, I am a youth group leader from Switzerland.

What are the core values from the Bible to pass on to my youth group?

Or what are the really important things we should give our youth today?

End quote.

Obviously youth pastor can't develop a false systematic theology in the minds of his young

people.

He's got to choose some really key things to drive home.

Pastor John, what would you put at the top of the list of your priorities for Sebastian?

I would probably put at the top, or maybe it would be better to say at the bottom,

as foundation, a true Bible, help these young people be rock solid and thrilled

that they have a book in which the creator of the universe has spoken the truth to them

about himself and about them and about the world.

This is just stunning when you think about it.

If this is true, if the Bible is inspired by God, we have a book in which our maker,

our creator and the sustainer and the one who runs the universe has spoken to us the truth.

This can't be anything more significant for a young person's life than to have a book in his hand.

This book tells me where I came from.

This book tells me the meaning of life.

This book tells me how to live and what my future can be.

So that's number one.

Build every week, every time you get together, use the Bible in such a way as to communicate.
