SESSION OUTLINE

FOCUS: (5–7 minutes)
Gather the students together with this opening question. “What is the biggest sacrifice you ever made to God or that you have ever seen being made to God by someone else?” As they think, write down these categories on a white board: Wealth, Family, Time, Other. Ask the students to share their answers and as they do, write their answers down under the proper category. Now ask, “Was this sacrifice a one time gift or do you or the others you observed continue to sacrifice this much?”

CONNECT: (10 minutes)
Ask the youth to sit in silence and think about what God really wants. Ask them to come up with one word that would say what they think God wants from them. Share these words around the circle.
Now show a clip from the movie The Terminal. This movie tells the story of an East European man who gets stuck in an American airport for reasons that have nothing to do with him. This clip shows how he works to help another man and illustrates true justice. Show chapter 18 of the movie (on DVD).
Say, “Sometimes it seems hard to know what God really wants. Giving God what he wants and deserves is worship. How can we best worship God? The prophet Micah may have some answers.”
