QUESTION 3 – What in life is satisfying?
You try and do a new move on your skateboard – you learn it, it feels cool, but then
you get bored.
You wanna get a new pair of jeans you’ve seen, you finally talk Mum into it, they
feel cool, but then you get bored with them and they get chucked in the wardrobe.
Stuff isn’t satisfying.
There’s a verse in the Bible that says “What will you gain if you own the whole
world, but destroy…your soul?”
 What do you think that verse means?
You see, you have got something that is unsatisfied. You were designed to have a
friendship with God. If you haven’t got that, it is like you are missing something – a
jigsaw with a piece missing or a thirsty dying person with a long way to the nearest
e2 shop! You will not be satisfied in life without God!
Sure, you can find things to entertain yourself, but you won’t be satisfied!
QUESTION 4 - So is God important to you?
So far we have seen
• God made you
• things that we think are important aren’t and…
• we are unsatisfied without God
But is God important to you?
Well, that is your choice, not his!
You see, God made you and he loves you.
But he’s not going to MAKE you love him.
It is up to you. Your call.
You can have yourself as the your best friend. Or you can have the creator of the
universe, the God who loves you as your best friend.
 What reasons might you have for NOT wanting to find out more about God.
 What reasons might you have for wanting to find out more about God.
I’d encourage you to really think about it.
God isn’t afraid of you saying “Are you real God? Should you be important in my
life?” Check him out!

STEPS
GOD
YOU ARE HERE – Beginning steps!
That means you are kind of hearing about God through you family or school
or Uth group, but at the moment, you aren’t too interested.
 What reasons do you have for coming to Uth group?
QUESTION 1 - Does God exist?
4. FOLLOWING
STEPS
1. Beginning Steps are
when you are just
checking out God, but
aren’t too interested in
the whole thing.
2. Seeking Steps are
when you decide - yeah,
maybe I will check out
God a bit more.
3. Turning Steps are when
you make a decision to
follow God.
3. TURNING
STEPS
4. Following Steps are
when you actually start
doing that - doing what
God wants, not what you
want.
2. SEEKING
STEPS
5. Serving Steps are when
you live your life as much
as you can for Him, and
for other people.
Stand on an imaginary line running down the centre of the room – one end is you
know God is real, the other end end you know he isn’t. Stand where you think! You
must be willing to say WHY you think that
This study – who do you think made it?
The clothes you are wearing who made them?
This building – who made it?
When we look at something, we can tell straight away if it has been designed or just
happened by accident.
 How can you tell if something is designed?
But you can’t see God, right? How can you believe in someone you can’t see and
haven’t met?
Good question. But then again, you told us that a builder built this building, yet I bet
you haven’t ever met him (or her!)
You see, you know that a builder built this because it is a – wait for it – a building!
The same thing with God – you can know he made the universe because it is
designed (not an accident) and because no one else could make it but God!
Don’t let anyone fool you and say it all happened by accident.
QUESTION 2 – What is important?
 What is the most important thing in your life:
1. BEGINNING
STEPS
The most important things in our lives come and go – they aren’t really satisfying.
What was important a year ago isn’t important now, and what is important now
probably won’t be in a years time.
The most important person for most of us is the
person we see when we look in one of these things:
Yet the same person that looks back at us from the mirror is the person who
disappoints us, frustrates us and gets us in trouble! If the most important person I
know is me, it’s gonna be a bit of a disappointing life!
THE CROWD
There has to be something better than us and “things” – something worth
living for – something to make this life worthwhile!
