(Loving kindness means to love it when someone gets what he or she doesn’t deserve.) • What does it mean to walk humbly with God? Look up I Samuel 15:22, Hosea 6:6, Deut. 10:12-13 and Hebrews 11:8. Walking humbly with God is a vivid word picture that the Israelites used to communicate obedience. Bring the groups back together and have them report. Make sure that all the students understand the true meaning of the three phrases. Wrap the conversation up helping the students make this connection. “For God, true worship must always be tied to justice. Do we then, in our church and as youth, practice true worship?” APPLY: (10 minutes) Write these three phrases on the white board: Doing Justice, Loving Kindness and Walking Humbly with God. Ask the students to brainstorm ways that the congregation does these three things. Ask how the youth themselves do these things. List those activities and attitudes under the right category. Then ask, “Which category is weakest for our church? What can we do to better worship God in this category?” Continue to write down their ideas as they discuss how justice, grace and obedience find their way into your congregational life.
