The Jesus Project is a 14 week series bases on the 14 triads of the Sermon on the Mount (by Glen Stassen). Designed specifically for youth, this is an interactive series with PowerPoint Presentations and handouts.
The file extensions are *.doc and *.ppt, so if you have a program which can edit those files types, please customize the material to fit your needs.
I preach expository sermons and follow that outline: exposition, illustration, and application. You'll find these abbreviated as exp, ill, and app.
Other abbreviations include:
CIT central idea of the text
CIS central idea of the sermon
MO modus operandi
SO specific objective
TS transition sentence
Here's an outline of the series:
*Those familar with Stassen's work will notice the absence of the third triad regarding divorce. While divorce impacts the lives of students, I felt it best not to include it. While the principle is revelant, I felt the application to be a little strained.
