"WHEN “THE WORLD” SUPPORTS OUR FAITH—OR NOT" by Travis Riesen and Carol Duerksen
YOUTH GROUP LESSON 101
SESSION OUTLINE
FOCUS

Greet students as they come in.
Play the songs students brought and discuss the lyrics that they felt had good values.
Discuss: How often do you find Christian values in secular songs?

EXPLORE THE BIBLE STORY
Read the scripture passage together so students have an overview of the story. Then divide it up and ask students to create a story board on the newsprint of the story. Assure them that they don’t have to be artists, but that they should create scenes that will show the gist of what is happening throughout the story. The verses/scenes could be divided as follows:
Verses 30-23:1, Verse 2, Verses 3-6, Verses 7-9, Verse 10, Verse 11, Verses 12-15, Verse 16, Verses 17-22, Verses 23-30, Verse 31, Verse 32, Verse 33, Verse 34
When the large storyboard is done, go through the story again, recalling what happened.
Ask: How did people of “the world” help people of faith in this story?

APPLY
Tell the following story:
Peter Dyck is a Mennonite who was involved with Mennonite Central Committee for many years. One of his stories takes place in the middle of World War II. There was a camp set up in Berlin, Germany for refugees and children. They had a school and even though they did not have supplies, the students would learn as much as they could.
