October 2 - Middle School
What we’re learning this week:
Tonight’s teaching will be looking at the crowd’s interaction with Jesus after he feeds the 5000. We’ll be learning how sometimes our prayers to Jesus can become “transactional”. This type of prayer actually gives us less than a relational prayer. The crowd came to the Son of God and only asked for bread.
Bottom Line: Jesus provides everything we need.
Scripture: John 6:25-35
Small Group Time:
This would be a great time to encourage your students to practice prayer throughout the week! Maybe read the psalms, or journal, etc.
What are some things you’ve been praying for lately?
Is it okay to pray for things we want?
What are some “needs” that Jesus provides for?
What is difficult about praying?
What part of the teaching stuck out to you?
What did you learn about Jesus tonight?
Next week preview:
Next week’s teaching will be on Jesus calming the storm. We’ll be looking at the result of prayer. When Jesus calls our “peace be still”, the same can happen in our own minds!
