BIBLE STUDY SESSION 102

||||||||||||
| SESSION OUTLINE FOCUS Welcome students and visitors. Tell the students about the following scenario: A study was done that staged an obese lady sitting on a park bench reading, while a group of teenage kids verbally abused her. The people involved were professional actors, and the idea was to see if people walking past would come to the lady’s defense. Only a few did, but the most surprising outcome was how awful the actors felt as they were acting out the scene. Ask: What do you think you would do if you witnessed this event? Do you think you could have done what the actors did without feeling bad? Why or why not? Ask students to recall a personal or news event of someone getting involved in a situation that required choice, risk, action, and possible injury. CONNECT Divide into small groups. Give each group a copy of the Case Study. Ask them to read it and discuss: If you were in Jamie’s shoes, what would you do? What are your options? What are the possible consequences of each option? What Biblical principal might apply in your decision? Bring the groups back together and discuss their thoughts and conclusions. Write the conclusions and the Biblical principals on the whiteboard EXPLORE THE BIBLE STORY Lead your group through the Bible passage, reading the verses and discussing the questions that follow. Use the Bible commentaries and the Insights to add to your knowledge about this passage. Continued... |
