The Easter Story: 4-Week Series

A 4-week in-depth youth ministry series on the Easter story. Students will discover the prophecies of Jesus’ suffering, death, resurrection and what it means to them today. The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the most significant event in all of history. From the fulfillment of Old Testament prophesies to His resurrection, this Easter series is designed to lead students to a deeper faith in Jesus. Nick here, Founder of Ministry to Youth. Growing up, I didn't have a clear understanding of the significance of Easter. Of course, I liked it because I got LOTS of candy. Yum Yum. In fact, I remember one Easter when I was 6 years old that I gave Pepper (my dog) a bunch of candy with the wrapping still on. Ha ha!! Maybe the students in your ministry have a similar story (not about the dog, but about their understanding of Easter). You want to convey the importance of the Easter story to your students, and that's exactly why we created this series!
