| "WHEN GOD SPEAKS, DO PEOPLE LISTEN?" by Kaely Miller | ||||||||||||

BIBLE STUDY SESSION 105

||||||||||||
| Ask: Are there ever times when you’re not sure about your role or how to act within that role? Discuss their answers. For example, are you ever confused as a boyfriend whether to spend time with your girlfriend or the guys? Or, athletes, do you ever struggle with whether to put more time into your athletics or your academics? Are you ever frustrated in your role as a son or daughter? Hand out the note cards, one per student. Instruct students to keep what’s written on their card a secret until they are paired up. Pair up the students, and explain that the goal of this activity is to figure out what role they are. Their role is what is written on their partner’s note card, and their partner will need to act it out in order for them to guess it. This is similar to charades, with one partner acting out the other’s role. No talking, no noises, no writing, no pointing. The only people who are allowed to be talking are those who are guessing their roles, and even then they are allowed only to voice their guesses, not questions to be answered by the “actor.“ The first three people who have guessed their role correctly will be given a prize. Make the prizes enticing so that the youth will be motivated to guess their roles quickly. If the youth are motivated, this activity should be somewhat of a struggle between the partners. Since only three individuals can win the prizes, each person will want to guess his/her own role instead of helping the other partner guess. After the first three people have guessed their role and won a prize, have everyone sit down. CONNECT Take some time to discuss the following questions: • Was it difficult to guess your roles? Why? • Was it hard to focus on helping your partner guess when you were wanting to know what your role was? • What are other situations when it’s hard to focus, especially when you’re not certain what your role is? • Why is it easier to focus when you know what your certain role or responsibility is? Transition Statement: Sometimes it’s hard to focus when we don’t know what our role is in a certain group or event. This happened to the Israelites. They found it hard to listen to God when they forgot what their role among the nations was, and when they forgot who God had called them to be. Let’s look at how Amos, a prophet, declared God’s judgment to the Israelites when they forgot what it meant to be a chosen nation. Continued... |
