Audio of teaching from 3/17/13
Coaches, it's spring break and we missed a lot of you because of vacations! Be sure to:
Take a listen to the audio, it's about 25 minutes long. If you look at the script, please note that the 'oscar pistorius' story was swapped for the story about St. Patrick that you'll hear in the mp3.
- listen to the mp3: March 17th - #winning: fame, power & other stuff.
- read your coaches guide! Coaches Guide for March 24th
- the script is optional and informative if you want the backstory of the scripture passage I taught: Script of the March 17th teaching

February 10 Coaching Guide
February 10th Coaching Guide
What did the passage predict about how Jesus would look?
Take a look at the guide and be ready to lead students through it on Sunday February 10th. Read through the Isaiah 53 passage and the corresponding questions.
Isaiah 53:2-5 describes what Jesus would look like.
Note: he ain't pretty.
He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him,
nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.
3 He was despised and rejected by mankind,
a man of suffering, and familiar with pain.
Like one from whom people hide their faces
he was despised, and we held him in low esteem.
nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.
3 He was despised and rejected by mankind,
a man of suffering, and familiar with pain.
Like one from whom people hide their faces
he was despised, and we held him in low esteem.
4 Surely he took up our pain
and bore our suffering,
yet we considered him punished by God,
stricken by him, and afflicted.
5 But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him,
and by his wounds we are healed.

and by his wounds we are healed.
What did this prophecy say people would see when they looked beyond the looks and saw Jesus for who He really was?
What is attractive to you about the description of Jesus in this passage?
