When you finish the list, put a star by each item that has to do with social justice. Put a dot by everything having to do with idolatry. Discuss the correlation. • Does following God have social implications? • If we let something take a higher place in our lives than God, will the way we live our lives suffer? • What does God think about idolatry and injustice? Turn to Luke 4:14-21 and read the passage. Discuss: • Does Jesus’ ministry sound like one that is involved with tangible witness to the community? • Do you think that someone who is poor is more likely to believe that God is gracious and faithful if their kids are full or hungry? • What role does reaching people’s physical needs play in evangelism? • What does your church do to demonstrate God’s love in tangible ways in the community? • Can you think of any possible judgments for not tending to the poor and hungry in the community around you? What about blessings? APPLY AND RESPOND Discuss specific ways that youth can tend to the physical needs of those around them and around the world. What can they do personally? What can the church do?
