Why Not Now? Video Study: You Dont Have to Grow Up to Follow Jesus [DVD video]

Christian students tend to set the bar too low when it comes to actively following Jesus. This Bible study curriculum and Leader's Guide (sold separately) will challenge students to accept the mission to live like Jesus by telling stories of adolescents from the Bible and in modern life doing significant and amazing things for the God who saves.

Like most of the rest of us, Christian students tend to set the bar too low for themselves, especially when it comes to actively following Jesus.

This six-week Bible study curriculum (guide sold separately) will challenge students to accept the mission to live like Jesus now, not later, by telling the stories of adolescents from the Bible and in modern life who did -- and are doing -- significant and amazing things in the world and for the God who saves. In a society where cultural adolescence is lingering into the 30s, its no wonder Christian students often fail to confront the call to act meaningfully on their faith in Christ.

It’s easy to package that commitment with big ideas like picking a college, a spouse, and a career -- and then to never quite get around to it. God, however, posts no minimum age on discipleship, and his book contains several examples of younger people both willing and able -- in his power -- to do extraordinarily difficult and necessary things with their lives for him. Why Not Now? will mine stories from the young lives of Miriam, Joseph, David, Solomon, Daniel, and Mary to find why and how they said yes to God before they would have been old enough to rent a car in our modern society. All six of these people believed God could use their lives to do something that mattered. What is holding us back?

To bolster the argument and generate interest in the books, Why Not Now? will also seek contributions from living examples of people who are doing or have done things we just don’t expect students to do these days. Abby SundlC3
