What does Roman learn during his road trip?
|
|
A - ADMIT - Adam & Eve
Roman begins his road trip with no directional tools, and soon finds himself in a dark and scary place called Sinful Avenue. After wandering aimlessly through the streets, he finds what seems to be a homeless man, named Cast.
The two chat for a bit before Roman gets the courage to ask him for directions. Cast tells him that it is probably hopeless, but he has heard that people find the right way out of town at the OneStop a few blocks down the street.
When Roman finds the OneStop, he meets Holly. A nice girl who tells him just what he needs... a G.P.S.
Sinful Avenue is a reminder of how sin first entered into the world. In the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve sinned against God, and then tried to hide their sin from God.

B - BELIEVE - Jesus
The G.P.S. directs Roman to rural CrossTown. There are hills and curvy roads, but no matter where you are in town, you can always see the big cross up on top of the tallest hill. Roman learns why the Cross is so important as the G.P.S. guides him through town. The Cross is a symbol to remind everyone that there is Someone Who loves them.
CrossTown’s big cross on top of the tallest hill in town reminds us of the cross on which Jesus Christ gave His life for our sins. We must BELIEVE in Him to be saved.

C - CONFESS - Philip & The Eunuch
After Roman learns about the Cross, the G.P.S. takes him to Whosoever Way where everyone is welcome to come. No one is turned away who decides they want to be a Whosoever, but there is only One Way into town. Roman remembers Cast and feels like he should go tell him the Truth of what he has found out.
Whosoever Way is simply a reminder that ANYONE can believe. The Ethiopian Eunuch needed someone to help him understand Who Jesus is and what He did for everyone.

ADDITIONAL POINTS

D - DEBT FREE - Justified By His GraceRoman takes a different way back toward Sinful Avenue to find Cast. On his way, his first pit stop is at Redemption Place where he learns about justification and the grace of God.
The payment for our sin is death, and when we believe that Jesus died for our sin, we are declared DEBT FREE. We are redeemed by grace through faith in Jesus Christ when we believe in Who He is and what He did for us by dying on the cross for our sin. |
|
E - ETERNAL LIFE - The Gift of Eternal LifeAfter seeing a wellspring of water in the distance, Roman decides he needs to stop and check out the area. In Eternal Springs, there is continuous fountain springing up from a well that draws people from all around.
The gift of God is Eternal Life, which is life with God that has no end, and it begins the moment we trust Christ to save us from our sin. In order to have eternal life, we must believe in Who Jesus is, and what He did for us by dying on the cross for our sins. |
|
F - FAITH - Faith Through The WordRoman finds himself in FAITHville where he learns the meaning behind the name of the town. Which leads him to find out more about the G.P.S. and how he can use it in every aspect of his life.
Faith is simply believing something to be true without seeing any evidence. But HOW do we get FAITH? HOW can we have FAITH? Through the Word of God. |
|
G - GO & TELL - Sharing The GospelSince Roman has learned that the name of a place often has a lot of meaning, he wants to find out what Gospel City means too. He learns that it is not only for him, but that others need to hear it too.
We have the Good News of The Gospel, and EVERYONE that is saved has the responsibility to GO & TELL others what Jesus Christ has done for them. Emphasize service & ministry opportunities and encourage the children to be BOLD to GO & TELL others about the Gospel. |
