SESSION OUTLINE

FOCUS: (5–10 minutes)
Welcome students to class and begin by telling them your own story of “One of the hardest things I’ve ever done.” Then go around the class and ask students to share stories of hard things they have done—it could mean training for a game, practicing for a concert, a big exam or school project, etc.
Discuss: How does it feel to do something that’s really hard? Does it feel worthwhile in the long run? Do you believe the phrase, “No pain, no gain”?
Ask: What do you think is the hardest thing that Jesus asked his disciples to do?

EXPLORE THE BIBLE: (15–20 minutes)
Read the Luke 9:18-27 passage together. Then ask the students to turn to Acts 6:8-15 and Acts 7. Divide the passages and assign groups (or persons) to read the following and be prepared to tell the class what happens:
• Acts 6:8-15 • Acts 7:1-8 • Acts 7:9-16 • Acts 7:17-29 • Acts 7:30-43 • Acts 7:44-53 • Acts 7:54-60
