"LEADERS FOR GOD" by Amanda Ingram and Carol Duerksen
YOUTH GROUP LESSON 53
MATERIALS AND ADVANCE PREPARATION:
1 Copies of the skit for all characters
2 Give the skit and instructions to a guy who will portray Stephen. He should be very familiar with Acts 7:2-53 from The Message translation and be prepared to share it dramatically with the group.
3 Newsprint and markers

SESSION OUTLINE
FOCUS

Divide the class into groups of 4-5 and give each group newsprint and markers. Ask half of the groups to make a list of “Leaders for God” that they can recall from memory from the Bible, and ask the other half of the groups to make a list of “Leaders for God” that are not Biblical characters. When groups can’t think of any more leaders, bring them together and compare the lists.
Discuss: What makes these people leaders for God?

CONNECT WITH THE BIBLE STORY
Do the drama based on Acts, chapters 6-8.

REFLECT
Discuss:
• How was Stephen a leader for God?
• What did he say that showed he was God’s leader?
