Freebie Friday #124: Survey for evaluating the spiritual influence of your ministry

Posted on May 07, 2009 by Tim Schmoyer | Print This Post

Free youth ministry resources every Friday Yesterday I wrote that I’m thinking about ending our large-group youth meetings and mentioned a survey that helped me come to some of the conclusions that I shared. You can download a copy of my survey below.

However, my lesson was on Matthew 9, specifically on Jesus’ illustration of the wine skins. I used the video called Spilt Milk from 36 Parables and most of the lesson that accompanies it, but I only used it as a guideline since I wanted to explain more about Jesus’ message within the larger context of Matthew 9. My lesson notes below are free for you to use, but I didn’t write down most of my message about Matthew 9 itself, so you should study that passage on your own before teaching it.

I'm pumped to dig into this. We're finishing a series on Ecclesiastes, and this will be a great "capper". Thanks Tim.
