Your students are drowning in a culture that tells them they're the main character — but this 4-week youth ministry sermon series flips the script through the life of John the Baptist. Students will discover what it actually looks like to live with humility instead of self-obsession, learning to point others to Jesus rather than building their own brand. Through John's example as forerunner, prophet, and model, this sermon series gives teenagers a framework for navigating comparison culture and social media's constant pressure to perform while finding their true identity in making much of Christ.
