Follow the Leader by Carol Duerksen
YOUTH GROUP LESSON 48
Read the article “The Day God Slapped Me in the But” but do not read the postscript at this time.
Divide into small groups and give each group a Bible commentary. Ask them to look up Moses, read about him, and be prepared to share with the rest of the group. Things for students to look for would include what challenges Moses faced as a leader, whether his followers trusted him, what made him a good leader, what challenges he faced, his weaknesses, what surprised them about Moses.

REFLECT
Read the postscript of “The Day God Slapped Me in the But.” Re-read this sentence and ask students what they think it means: “Moses figured out that when God tells you to lead, he’s also telling you to follow.”
Read the article “Leadership Stinks.”
Invite students to reflect on who they are following and who they need to follow in their lives. What are their “issues” with following? Are they following parents? Peers? God? Coaches? Youth leaders?

RESPOND
Invite students to choose one of the Biblical leaders from the newsprint that they admire and would like to emulate. Explain that even if they don’t see themselves as leaders, they can see characteristics in the Biblical leaders that would be good to model their lives after. Invite them to share their thoughts with the group.
Close with a time of prayer.
