"WHO ARE YOU GOING TO LISTEN TO?" by Peter Wintermote
YOUTH GROUP LESSON 74
MATERIALS AND ADVANCE PREPARATION:
1 Bibles
2 Copies of “Here I am Lord” from Hymnal, A Worship Book, #395
3 Paper and pencils
4 Markers and large sheets of paper for each small group

FOCUS:
Greet students as they arrive.
Divide students into small groups and give each group a marker and large sheet of paper. Ask groups to make a list of at least ten situations when they believe it would be okay to disobey the law and people in authority.
Bring the groups together and discuss the lists.

CONNECT:
Look at the lists again. Circle each example in which disobedience of the law is based on a person’s faith. Does being a Christian make a difference in a person’s willingness to disobey the law? In what ways does it make a person MORE or LESS willing to disobey? Are Christians ever CALLED to disobey the law? When or why?

EXPLORE THE BIBLE:
Read Acts 4:1-22.
Break into small groups and give the following assignments (more than one group can do the same assignment if necessary.)
Group 1: Find out how many times the council punished Peter and John. Why did they continue to talk about God when they were making people mad?
