SESSION OUTLINE

FOCUS: (10 minutes)
Have the items that are connected to the Christian life on display. Hand out note cards and pens and ask students to make a list of ten things they think are important to being a Christian. Say that they may use the items to help them think of ideas but their list does not need to be limited to the things they see. After they have made their lists, ask them to circle the five most important things that a person needs to be a Christian. Then have them put a star by the two most important items. Finally, ask students to choose the one thing from their list that is most important to being a Christian.
Ask: What did you choose? Why did you choose that one item from all of the rest? What is important about that item? What defines a Christian?
Depending on the students’ answers, lead the discussion to the point that the most important part of being a Christian is having a relationship with Jesus.

CONNECT: (5 minutes)
Transitional statement:
Today we’ll learn about the people of Judah, who, at one point in their history, called themselves followers of God even though they didn’t have a true relationship with God. Rather than trusting in God, they trusted in the temple itself.
