I’d like for you to take some time alone to think about that and where you stand in your life with Jesus. Are you following him? Do you want to? Is he the leader of your life? Are you quiet about who he is and allowing the stones to cry out instead? Find a space alone—either outside or in the church building—to spend a few minutes alone and then we’ll come back together. Teacher tip: You’ll need to find a way to bring the group back together—a certain amount of time if they have watches, ring a bell, walk around and tell them, etc. Close with a prayer when the class comes back together, asking God to be with the students in their choices and decisions about following him as the leader of their lives.
