| "ALL IN A NAME" by Randall Schlabach | ||||||||||||
|
YOUTH GROUP LESSON 85
|
||||||||||||
| EXPLORE THE BIBLE Hand out the copies of the story. Read it together as a class. Re-read this paragraph from the article: A name is the first—and one of the most enduring—things that we acquire from our parents, and when we are welcomed into the family of God, the name “Christian” is a name that suggests we will carry the message of the Lord to everyone we meet. It’s part of our identity as members of the family of God. Discuss: • Do you want to be identified as a Christian? • Are there pros and cons to that name itself? • Is there another name you’d rather use to describe yourself and your faith? APPLY/RESPOND Ask: When someone at school, church, work, or in the neighborhood hears your name, what message does it carry? Do people think of someone who is honest? Loyal? Hard working? Respectful? Friendly? A follower of Jesus? What name would you like to have? Make a nametag with a new name—a name that symbolizes who you are. Wear the name tag so everyone can see “the new you.” Close with an eye-open prayer, reading the “new names” and asking God to be with each person as they strive to be God’s children in the world.
