Sunday School Lessons for Youth – Who is the Lamp?

Mary Kate | | Comments (0)

Are you looking for Sunday school lessons for youth to teach the lesson of Who is the Lamp? Here are activities and discussions that have worked well for me with my 12-14 year old students.

Discussion:
Ask the students how they know what decisions are the right decisions to make everyday. Ask them how they know what God wants them to do.

Bible Reading:
Have the students read the following passages:
2 Samuel 22:29
Psalm 119:105
Luke 8:16

Discussion:
Ask the students again how we know what is right and what is wrong. Ask them how they can shine God’s light for others. Ask them what happens with one lamp versus many. Talk about the domino effect that can happen when we shine our light.

Activity:
Play Flashlight Find.

Materials needed:
Flashlights (1 for each student)

Give each student a flashlight. Have one student close his/her eyes and count to 20. While that student is counting have the others hide somewhere in the room with their flashlights turned off. When time is up turn the lights off. Then have the counter use his/her flashlight to find others. As others are found have them turn their flashlight on and help the counter find the rest of the students. You can repeat this activity as many times as time allows. When you are finished playing explain that this is what it is like in the world. We use our light to find others and help them to learn about God and then shine their lights. Then they use their lights to find others and the others learn about God and use their lights to find and teach others and so on.

Activity:
Have the students get into partners. Have them do a role play in which they act out everyday interactions with their friends and family, such as waiting for class to start, playing basketball, shopping, etc. Have them act out ways that they can be a lamp and shine God’s light in these situations.
