The
Christian youth group lessons based on faith facts for 6th to 12th

class to teach “trusting the voice”.
What You Require to Set Up This
Lesson Class?
Items
for obstacle course could include chairs, books, cones, coats, shoes basically
anything that you would want the contestants to avoid. You will need to setup a
sort of obstacle course. This space can be as small or large as you would like
it to be depending on the size of the teams competing.
How to Organize the Faith Based
Christian Youth Group Lesson? Description for a Small Youth Group
Pick
six youths among the group and pair them up. One will be the voice while the
other will be the contestant. Have the voices stand at the end of the obstacle
course while the contestants are blindfolded and placed at the beginning. When
the games starts the voices must guide their specific contestant to the finish
line at the other end of the obstacle course. The first contestant to cross the
finish line wins.
Description for a Large Youth Group
Divide
the group into teams (two or three works best). Have each team select two
players: one will be the voice the other will be the game’s contestant. Have
the voice stand at the end of the obstacle course. Make sure that the
contestant knows who is the voice and can recognize the sound of his/her voice.
Have the members from the other term surround the obstacle course. Blindfold
the contestant and place him/her at the beginning of the obstacle course. When
the game starts, the voice must guide the contestant through the obstacle
course while the opposing team tries to distract the contestant with incorrect
directions. If the groups you choose for Christian youth group lessons
are very large the game leader has the option to limit the opposing team to
using whispers as appose to shouting.
In
this scenario there can be multiple voices and contestants competing on the
same course if space allows. The goal of the game is for the contestants to be
guided through the obstacle course by their voice despite the surrounding
distractions.
Read Psalm 119:105
Your
word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path
Read Hebrews 11:1
Faith
is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance
about things we cannot see.
As
we saw in the game we just played, sometimes it can be really hard to follow a
voice in the middle of all the distractions. How can we find our way when we
can’t see where we are going and can hardly understand what our guide is
saying? Even when we can hear him, how do we know it is safe for us to follow?
The
two verses that we just read are foundational for Christians when it comes to
understanding how faith works. In Psalm 119:105 we see that our guide, the
voice that we need to follow is god’s world. In Hebrews 11:1 we see that faith
is what gives us strength to follow that voice even when we can’t see where it
is leading us. Make no mistake about it, faith takes hard work. It takes trust,
focus, and the ability to ignore the distractions around us. Overall, faith
requires us to understand that the true voice knows the absolute best way
through the giant obstacle course that is life.
