| "WHO ARE YOU GOING TO LISTEN TO?" by Peter Wintermote | ||||||||||||
|
YOUTH GROUP LESSON 74
|
||||||||||||
| Group 2: Look up Romans 13:1. How does this verse relate to civil disobedience? Is it okay or is not okay to disobey the authorities? How do you decide? Group 3: Read I Peter 2:13-18. What does this say about respecting God and authorities? What does it say about civil disobedience? Group 4: Look up Daniel 6:6-17. How does Daniel break the law? Why? Gather the small groups back together and have each group report back on their assignments. Here is a summary for each group and what they might have found: Group 1: The council punished Peter and John four times. The first time the council got annoyed and arrested Peter and John. The second time they had to stand in front of the high priest and many others as prisoners for a questioning. Then Peter and John were ordered not to spread the Word anymore and the last time was when they were threatened by the council. Group 2: In Romans 13:1, we read that God wants us to obey the laws of the authorities, but we also have to obey what God has told us. The laws and other people sometimes interfere with what God has told us to do. It is a tough decision to make, whether breaking the law is okay sometimes. Group 3: God tells us that it is important to follow the authorities and the law, but we should live as free people. If we see the law going against our faith, we have to go with God, not the law. Group 4: All the people are ordered by the king not to pray or talk about God for thirty days. Daniel knows it is wrong to not continue praying, so he goes to his house and prays three times a day to God. Men found him praying and brought him to the King and he was thrown into the lions den. Daniel did do the right thing and continued praying because he knew it was the right thing to do even if it was forbidden by the law. Continued... |
