Here's a Bible study I did this weekend on the 8th grade lock-in. We used the movie "Night at the Museum" which is a good, fun, mostly clean movie that came out around Christmas in 2006.
What’s Your “Rs?”
Check-In
What’s the first thing your family ever made you responsible for?
What do you know?
What kinds of things do adults “have to” do?
From the Movie
Which characters lived up to their responsibilities? How did they do that?
Which characters did not keep their promises? What happened because of that?
What does the movie teach us about responsibility?
From the Bible
Matthew 28:16-20
In your own words, what’s the church been commanded to do?
How do we do those things here in our church?
Acts 2:42-47
What were the disciples’ responsibilities?
What happened because the disciples kept those habits?
1 Timothy 4:11-16
Timothy was a young person but he had big responsibilities. How can you lead and serve in the church today?
Which of the responsibilities we’ve talked about tonight do you think you most need to pay attention to?
In Our Lives
Write yourself a note encouraging you to be responsible for one of the things we’ve talked about tonight. Seal it in an envelope and write your name (first and last) on the outside. You’ll get that note in the mail sometime during this year.
Closing Prayer
Ask a student in your group to make up a prayer or read this one:
Dear God, you prepared your disciples to receive the Holy Spirit by hearing Jesus’ teaching. Make our hearts and minds ready to receive the Spirit’s blessings too, that we may be full of the strength that Your presence brings. We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. (Book of Common Prayer, adapted, pg. 819)
