"Faith Journey - In the Middle of a Crisis for God" by Carson Stutzman
YOUTH GROUP LESSON 96
CONNECT:
Make the following statements and tell students to indicate whether they are True or False, in their opinion. Here are options on how they can indicate their answers:
1 Have them text your cell phone
2 Move to one side of the room for true and one for false
3 Yell out their answer as loud as possible

1 When God asks people to do something, they will have the assurance from God that they are doing the right thing.
2 When God asks people to do something, the outcome will always be good.
3 People in the Bible felt abandoned by God.
4 Jesus had times when he felt stuck and wasn’t sure how to do what God wanted him to do.
5 God will not ask you to do something that hurts you.
Discuss the responses.

EXPLORE THE BIBLE:
1 Ask for volunteers to be a part of a skit. Give those who volunteer time to read the faith story (Acts 9:1-9) and assign their parts—voice of God, Saul, high priest, Saul’s friends. Tell them to “overact”—to have fun with it.
After the skit, read the Bible story together.
2 Divide into small groups and ask them to read Genesis 22:1-8. Then ask them to discuss within their groups:
--1 What is God doing in each of these stories? What is God’s overall plan for each person? Does the person know that?
--2 How is the person reacting to God’s call?
--3 What is similar about these stories? What is different?
