SESSION OUTLINE

FOCUS: (10 minutes)
Tell students that they are going to invite themselves to a party. They are to take the paper and pens and make an invitation to themselves to the kind of party that they would love to attend.
Directions on folding the paper: Fold it in half, then again in half. Student’s name should be on the front, and the party information on the inside. The inside information should list the time, place, and what will happen at the party. After students have completed their invitations, share them with the group. What are their expectations of the party?
Then say: I have some ideas about a party for you too, and I’m going to hand out the food that will be at this party.
Hand out the packages. Give students time to react, this ask: What’s wrong with the food I handed out? It didn’t meet your expectations of party food? You had certain things in mind for party food, and this didn’t meet what you expected?

CONNECT: (5 minutes)
Say: Sometimes people have the wrong expectations about Jesus. Our story today is about the expectations people had of Jesus when he first began his ministry. Before we get into that story, what do you think people expected of Jesus?
List those expectations on the board or newsprint.
