Consider Your Students

Suggestions for Effective Teaching . . .
SEEKERS FOR JESUS
STEP 1: Begin class with prayer. Then ask students to think about their missions in life. Ask them to write a short statement describing what they think they are called to do in this life in regard to career, family, and God. Tell them to put their statements aside; you will come back to them at the end of the lesson.
STEP 2: Intro Activity — Divide students into two teams. Flip a coin to see which team will go first; then allow teams to take turns naming Jesus’ disciples. Write correct answers on the board. After they’ve listed as many as they are able, turn to Matthew 10:2–4, and ask a volunteer to read the names. The team having identified the most, wins.
STEP 3: Today’s Word — Ask for volunteers to read each of the print passages for today. Ask students to think about how the disciples must have felt when Jesus called them to follow Him. List possible concerns the disciples may have had. What questions might they have asked Jesus? What did they tell their families? How do you think they felt about leaving their various occupations? Ask students to share what they would have thought and done if they had been approached by Jesus as the disciples were. Remind students that Jesus calls us to follow Him today. Create a list of ways in which we might follow Him during a typical day.
STEP 4: Consider This — Ask for a volunteer to read the Consider This section in the student book. Explore together how the story relates to their lives and today’s lesson.
STEP 5: Closing — Ask for a volunteer to read the Last Thoughts section. Ask if there are any questions in regard to how they can follow Jesus. Ask students to review their mission statements and make revisions based on what they’ve learned. Invite volunteers to share their statements. Close in prayer.
TEEN SCENE
STEP 1: Begin class with prayer. Ask students to think about how Jesus selected His first disciples. Ask one student to portray Jesus by asking several other class members to act as disciples. They should answer as if Jesus were calling them specifically. Afterward, ask the new disciples, How did it feel to be called? What concerns did you have regarding your family, job, friends, and so on?
STEP 2: Intro Activity — Ask students to list the top three things that might stop them from dropping everything and following Jesus (as His original disciples did). List their reasons and discuss how they can hinder us from giving ourselves completely to the Lord today, as well.
STEP 3: Dissect and Digest — Discuss the difference in doing good work versus godly work. Examine verses 7–8 to discover what types of deeds the first disciples were called to do and how that relates to us today. What are some good works that students do? In contrast, what is godly work? How can students remain open to God’s prompting to help those in need?
STEP 4: Heart of the Matter — Ask a volunteer to read the Heart of the Matter section. Allow students to discuss how it relates to the overall lesson this week. Ask them to share examples of ways they live out their missions to follow Christ. For example, how do they share Christ with others? Compile a list of needs within your community. Encourage students to select one and think of a practical way they can help meet that need as a group.
STEP 5: Closing — Ask students if they have any questions or prayer requests. Close in prayer.
— Lesson Overview —
Introduction
When Jesus began His earthly ministry, He selected the twelve disciples to help Him carry out His mission. Jesus did not send these disciples out without proper instructions and training. He gave them specific orders about what to do, where to go, what to say, and what to take—as well as when and how to leave a place where they were unwelcome. We also can follow Jesus’ specific instructions as we carry out our missions on earth.
I. Jesus Calls His Disciples (Matthew 10:1–4)
How many of Jesus’ disciples are you able to name without looking? Many adults cannot name all twelve though they played such a vital role in the history of the Church and the world. They were part of the single most monumental event in history: the public ministry of Jesus Christ. Nevertheless, these were not men of great standing. They were not scholars or celebrities. Instead, they were simple, uneducated, ordinary men. Yet they were granted authority over unclean spirits, as well as disease and sickness of every kind (v. 1).
Matthew 10:2–4 lists each of the disciples’ names. When a description is given, it is related to the name (such as the fact that Simon also was known as Peter) or to a family relationship (such as the fact that Simon’s brother was Andrew or that James was a son of Zebedee). We see the occupation of Matthew, the tax collector, and we know (from other sections of the Bible) that some were fishermen. We also see Judas described as the one who betrayed Jesus.
None of the disciples stood out for having a great resume or ancestry. From all accounts, they seemed to be everyday human beings. It’s great news that Jesus can and does use the ordinary! If you’re willing and ready to follow His calling, our Lord will give you instructions and empower you to complete your mission, regardless of your background, strengths and weaknesses, and circumstances.
Perhaps it seems strange to you that Jesus would call Judas Iscariot to follow Him. Jesus was God and Man, so He knew Judas one day would turn on Him and sell Him out with a kiss for thirty pieces of silver. Why didn’t Jesus reject Judas and choose someone who would prove faithful from beginning to end? Perhaps Jesus’ choice was to show us that He desires for everyone to follow Him, though most will not. Some people will appear to be Christians in the way they speak and things they do, but their hearts will be far from Him. Still, He continues to call and to love. This is how great His compassion is for the human race.
