EXPLORE THE BIBLE: (20 minutes)
Ask students to divide themselves into two groups: Group A is Actors and Group S is Storytellers. Tell both groups to read Kings 6:8-23, and to use the student worksheet to prepare a story or skit to share the story with the class. The Storytellers can use the worksheet outline to tell the story, filling in the details of each section. Remind them that the important thing is to tell the story, not read it. The Actors should assign parts and act out the story. When each group is ready, they can share their presentation with the whole group.
After the presentations, lead the students in a round of applause. (A round of applause is clapping your hands in a large circle in front of you.) Using the Scripture Insights as background information, lead a discussion about this story.
Questions to ask:
1 - Why was the ending of this story so unusual?
2 - Why do you think Elisha told the king to feed them and let them return home?
3 - Is the true essence of Biblical non-resistance just avoiding our enemies, or is it going the extra mile and being active in loving our enemies?
4 - What did Jesus say about this? (Encourage students to find passages that state what Jesus said.)

APPLY: (5–7 minutes)
Share your own personal story or stories of times when you have felt good, and not so good, about how you’ve related to someone with whom you didn’t get along.
