during the game. What are the things that can make the first person and the
fifth person can sometimes tell different passage?
Developing the Lesson
3 mins 1. Listen to God: Teacher will tell the students, Similar with what happen in our
games, sometimes, there are many things that make us cannot listen to what God
has said to us. Sometimes God whispers, like in our game, to check whether we
able to hear Him or not but many things make us cannot hear him. Those things
are maybe we are too selfish to listen to him or because you find many things that
you like more.
2. God Speaks to Us through Our Parents: Tell the students One of the most
common ways God use to talk to us is through our parents. Many times our
parents tell us many things. Sometimes we like it and it makes us wants to obey
but when we dont like it, we tend to ignore it. In the previous game, we can
actually ignore our friends and just say whatever we wants but it will make our
friends sad and it will bring the whole group lose.
Closing the Lesson
2 mins 1. What have you learned: Ask the students what have they learn from todays
devotion. Ask them who, starting today, will obey their parents to raise their
hands.
2. Prayer: Teacher will ask for any prayer request. Then pray for the students so
they will obey they will listen to Gods word by obeying their parents.
