YOUTH GROUP LESSON 31
|
|||||||||||||
| MATERIALS AND ADVANCE PREPARATION: 1 Copies of the article below—one for each person. If your youth get WITH Magazine, this article is in the Spring 2007 issue. 2 Draw a large tree on dry erase board or newsprint. There should be one major branch coming out of the trunk for each student in your class, plus room for them to draw offshoots from their branch. If you have a large group, make several trees. 3 Bibles for everyone FOCUS After greeting students, ask them if anyone is feeling like “branching out” today. (sorry—bad joke.) Tell students to choose a branch on the tree and put their name on it. Then, tell them to draw other offshoots from their branch and list the names of their spiritual relatives on those other branches. Study the trees as a class. Do the students have some common spiritual relatives? How did they decide who their spiritual relatives are? Did anyone label the trunk? What name should go on the trunk? CONNECT TO THE BIBLE STORY Hand out copies of the story, one for each student, and ask students to read the story silently. Discuss any elements of the story that the students want to raise. Ask students to turn to 2 Timothy 2 and read verses 1-2. Say: Paul is talking to Timothy about his spiritual relatives. Earlier, you listed your spiritual relatives. What have your spiritual relatives taught you? Continue reading verses 3-13. Talk about them. What is being taught in these verses? Ask each student to choose one or more verses and think about what it is saying specifically to them. Share and discuss with the group. Continued... |
