In this energetic and inspiring Youth Sunday service, Youth Pastor Kel Mitchell draws a creative parallel between video game “power-ups” and the spiritual empowerment that comes from a relationship with Jesus Christ. Using examples like Mario’s power-ups to navigate obstacles and defeat enemies, Kel emphasizes how faith in Jesus equips believers with strength, peace, and confidence to overcome life’s challenges. The congregation is encouraged to find their “spiritual power-up” by relying on the Holy Spirit, maintaining a constant relationship with Christ, and stepping into the victory He has already secured.
Through lively interactions, heartfelt examples, and even a fun, faith-filled twist on a popular song, Kel creates an uplifting atmosphere, reminding everyone that with Jesus, obstacles can be overcome, enemies defeated, and peace sustained even amidst trials. The service concludes with a powerful call to accept Jesus and stand firm in faith, encouraging viewers and attendees to embrace the joy, strength, and love that comes from living a life powered by Christ.
