YOUTH GROUP LESSON 80
|
||||||||||||
| CONNECT: Option #1: Have the youth break into groups of 3-4 and ask them to reflect on their own experiences of sharing the gospel. Ask questions such as: • Have you ever tried to share your faith with a non-believer? • With a close friend? • With someone you just met? • How did you feel? • How did they respond? • Has anyone of another faith ever shared their testimony with you? Or tried to convert you? • How did that make you feel? • Should we witness? • Do you feel prepared to share the Gospel? Let the small groups discuss for several minutes, while you circulate and listen to the conversations. Listening to some of their experiences will help you better facilitate the discussion later in the lesson. After the discussion, bring the group back together and mention a couple of opinions and points you heard and thought were significant. End by asking how they think the Bible instructs us to relate to non-believers when we share the Good News with them. Option #2: Invite a member of the congregation to share their faith story with the youth. This can be anyone who came to faith through the power of someone sharing the Gospel with them—through tracts, friendship, by telling the Gospel story, or another way. For this, it would be most effective for someone who was not raised in the church to tell their story. Have them share with the youth what was effective and how they came to believe. If a youth has had such an experience and is willing to share, that would preferable. Another option is for you to share a personal story about a time when you witnessed to a non-believer. Just talk about what happened, how you felt, what you did. Spend some time discussing the stories and examples. Continued... |
