Chase the Lion

5 Weeks
Chase the Lion
Big Idea of the Series

When the image of a man-eating beast travels through the optic nerve and into the visual cortex, the brain sends the body an urgent message: run! That’s what normal people do, but not lion chasers. Rather than seeing a five-hundred-pound problem, they see an opportunity for God to show up and show His power.

Has God given you a HUGE dream for you church? Has He given you a HUGE dream for your community?

This is what Chase the Lion is all about.

Centering on II Samuel 23, Chase the Lion tells the true story of an ancient warrior named Benaiah who chased a lion into a pit on a snowy day—and then killed it. This series also recounts the miraculous stories of David’s other mighty men, and their exploits for the Kingdom of Israel. This 5-week series, based on the new book by Mark Batterson, will help your congregation unleash the faith and courage they need to identify, chase, and catch the five-hundred-pound dreams God has given them to reach the world.

What is the Series Guide?
Included in each guide is:
  • A sermon series outline that breaks up the teaching set into a specific number of weeks.
  • A "big idea" of the series.
  • A passage, "big idea" of the sermon, topic list, and a number of illustrations and talking point ideas are included in each weekly section. The "Sermon Ideas and Talking Points" area is filled with observations about the text, relevant applications, creative ideas, and illustrations.
  • A small group discussion (located in a separate document in this bundle).
What is the Series Guide Not?
  • This guide isn't a set of sermon manuscripts. While sermon manuscripts can be both useful and a powerful training tool, our sermon series guides are different. Rather than tell you what to say, our aim is for this material to spark your imagination, assist you in planning your sermon, and offer a boost to your study time.
  • This guide isn't ironclad. While we hope you use our material, the pieces of this document are designed to be moved, tweaked, and altered. As you study the suggested passages, and pray through your message, this guide will hopefully be a launching pad, rather than a landing net.
How Do I Use this Series Guide?
  • Plan ahead. Our guides are best utilized in advance versus the day or night before. Read over the ideas and illustrations provided, thinking through how you can possibly utilize them in your message. We've purposely kept our guides simple so as to give you the best opportunity to create your own, unique message.
  • While we give you a passage and "big idea" of the message, take time to study the text.
  • Utilize the media contained in this bundle to promote and communicate your series message.
