| "FOLLOWING JESUS IN REAL LIFE SITUATIONS" by Carol Duerksen | ||||||||||||
|
YOUTH GROUP LESSON 112
|
||||||||||||
| MATERIALS AND ADVANCE PREPARATION: • Paper and pens • WWJD bracelets—purchase these prior to the session for students SESSION OUTLINE FOCUS: Play the human knot game. You will need at least 3 people. Get in a group and form a tight circle (shoulder-to-shoulder). Have each person reach into the center of the circle and grab a hand of a person standing across the circle–each person must hold hands with two different people. Try to untangle so everyone in the group is holding hands normally in a circle. You cannot let go of one another’s hands. When the circle is formed, some people can be facing out and some in. After the game, say: If you think that knowing how to follow Jesus is pretty clear and straightforward, go to the right side of the room. If you think it’s kinda confusing and tangled up, like this game, go to the left side of the room. When students have divided themselves, sit down and talk about why they answered like they did. Suggest that perhaps both answers are right. Jesus seems to be clear about what he says in the Bible, but how we interpret it and what we do about it seems to get tangled up. EXPLORE OUR LIVES AND THE BIBLE: Hand out paper and pens. Ask students, either individually or in small groups, to write down situations that they or their friends encounter in life that call for choices, and those choices are connected with what they perceive to be right or wrong. Here is a list of options—you may offer some of them as examples, and/or add them to the examples from students. It’s best to include examples from your students because these are their real life challenges. Continued... |
