| SESSION GOAL: By the end of the session, students will learn that God’s love is unlimited and we are to imitate that unreserved love for all. SESSION OBJECTIVES: By the end of this session, the students will: • Students will hear examples of persons who loved those who seemed to be unlovable. • Students will think about persons in their lives who are hard to love, and come up with a plan to show them love. MATERIALS NEEDED AND ADVANCE PREPARATION: 1 View the DVD movie “Beyond The Gates of Splendor” and plan for a time when the class can view it, OR choose several clips to show the class. This is a powerful modern-day example of what Jesus called us to do: love our enemies. It is the story of an Indian tribe in Ecuador that killed five missionaries but came to Christ because members of those missionary families continued to live and work with them. If you type in the name of the film on your search engine, you’ll be able to read reviews, a synopsis and how to locate it. Note: It is rated PG-13 for violence and nudity among the Indian people, so be aware of that as you contemplate showing it. There are two versions on the DVD—one that is 96 minutes long and one that is 40 minutes long. The 96 minute version may get long for your students because it goes into a lot of background on the families prior to them becoming missionaries. In my opinion (Carol) this film is worth seeing and I’d strongly suggest planning on a longer class period so you can view at least the 40 minute version as part of your class time together. If you can’t plan for a longer class time, you may want to view the film in one class period and then do this lesson as a follow-up the next week. Continued... |
