Youth Lesson: Love with Actions

I really enjoyed my youth lesson tonight. Mainly because of how great my students were. The groups that lead did a really great job. My ego wants to think it was my lesson, but I am pretty sure it was God and the students. But with that being said I thought I would post this here for you to use.

Love with Actions:

• Divide your group into 4 teams. Try to keep the teams below 7 people. For larger groups duplicate the assignments. For groups smaller than 12 remove one of the assignments and just have 3 groups. 
• Download the .pdf of the team assignments and print them for your group
• Give a brief introduction and then give the teams12 minutes or so to to work on their presentations.
• Let the teams present their assignment. Their presentation should contain 3 elements. 1) Reading the passages, 2) Asking the questions and leading discussion with them and 3) Presenting their creative element.
• Each team presentation will take between 5-10 minutes so try to plan accordingly.
• After the teams are finished debrief. Talk about how love is more than just our words. Love is about our actions.

I don't have all of the answers and some weeks it feels like I don't have any of the answers. I often find a good word picture or object lesson and build the lesson off of that instead of the other way around. I don't always pray as much as I should and I never study as much as I should. But I love students ministry. I love watching teenagers as they serve God. I love to see them worship and forget about themselves for a while. I love seeing someone wake up to the love of God if only for a little while. I love to see them out serving their community and sharing the love of Christ with others. I love to be a part of their lives and I love seeing the world through their eyes. I am an average youth minister.
