| "THE RICH AND THE POOR" by Julie Snyder | ||||||||||||
|
BIBLE STUDY SESSION 107
|
||||||||||||
| SESSION OUTLINE FOCUS Greet each student as they come in and spend a few minutes de-briefing about their week. Then hand out the index cards. Ask the rich group to sit at a table and have the poor group sit in a circle on the floor. Give the doughnuts, juice and milk to the rich group. Give the poor group the loaf of bread, butter and water. Tell everyone they can start eating. As soon as the poor group gets their bread buttered, tell them they have to cut their piece in half and take it to one of the rich group. If someone protests, tell them that it’s the job of the poor to support the rich, that’s just the way it is. After the rich group has finished their doughnuts, bring everyone together. CONNECT Discuss: • How did the poor group feel? • Did those feelings intensify or change when you asked them to give up half of their bread, too? • How did the rich group feel? Did they want to share? • Are places that this happens in real life today? Where? • How do you think God feels about that? EXPLORE THE BIBLE Ask students to open their Bibles to Amos 5. Have each student read 1-2 verses (there are 26 verses). Make a chart on the whiteboard with two columns labeled “Do” and “Don’t”. Ask students to skim back through the chapter to find things that God said to do and not to do. Include the result of each action. Continued... |
