Go And Do The Same

Preached to: High School Students

Speaker: Pastor Amanda Hahn

Pastor Amanda's sermon to high school students focuses on the concept of "Go," a series challenging them to take action based on Jesus' commands in the Bible. She introduces three key messages that Jesus shared: "Go and do the same," "Go and sin no more," and "Go and make disciples." The sermon specifically emphasizes the story of the Good Samaritan, encouraging students to be compassionate and active in helping others. Pastor Amanda challenges the students to be prepared, notice those in need, and respond with kindness. She urges them to be "campus missionaries," using small acts of kindness to share the love of Jesus in their schools. The message ends with a call to action, encouraging students to be bold in sharing their faith and making a positive impact on their school campuses.
