THEME: Advertise our faith for Jesus to let others know we believe in God.
BIBLE VERSE: "Matthew 28:18-20 (19a) Therefore go and make disciples of all nations." PROPS: Two or three ball caps with different logos, possibly at least one hat with some type of "Jesus" logo. You can adapt your message slightly to end with a particular ball cap logo with a Jesus message. LEADER: (Leader wears some type of baseball cap) How many of you young people wear ball caps when you are out at a sporting event or maybe out in the sun in the summer. They were originally designed for baseball players to keep the hair out of the way and to shield their eyes from the sun. |

Well baseball caps are so popular now that people every where wear different ball caps for fun and at work. Let me show you a couple of hats that I wear for different things. (leader puts on 2-3 different ball caps with logos for businesses, sports, etc and then shares what each represents)
One thing is for sure, ball caps tell the people that see you wearing it some type of message about you, like I am a fan for my favorite sports team or I work for such and such a business. It is quick advertising.
So suppose we decided to wear a ball cap that told everyone we saw that we believe in Jesus? That would be an awesome way to tell everyone who walked by us, "I am a believer." (put on your Jesus logo hat if you have one available) If I wear ball caps to games to show I support a certain team or a work cap to show who I work for, maybe I should start wearing a Jesus ball cap to church to let everyone know what I believe in.
Jesus tells us to share our faith. We serve God by telling others/advertising about Him. It isn't always easy to share our faith so let's think of some of the reasons we love Him. That way when people ask about our hat, we can tell them why we love Him. Reasons: (listen for responses or use these)
He loves me.
He watches over me.
He gives me strength,
Jesus is my friend.
They say "seeing is believing," so why not let others see our faith? I am never alone because He is always with me. Advertising for Jesus can be a little easier if we can share the reasons why we love and follow Him.
