Here's What I Think!
Lesson 6 - Our Identity in Christ (Part 1)
Carlos is known for being funny, even though his jokes come at the expense of others. Nobody really gets close to him personally, but many want to be around him. How would a kingdom citizen go about reaching out to someone who seems “untouchable” and communicate what God thinks about him? How would you show Carlos his identity in Christ?
Share the specific problems in reaching people like Carlos. You may want to ask someone older what they think and share what you like about their answer or how that response may not be realistic.

Lesson 5 - Growing in Grace
“I don’t want to be a Christian,” your friend at school says. “It’s too hard, and it’s no fun. Following all those stupid rules, and never getting away with anything!”
You’re about to open your mouth when a friend who attends a different church says, “You’re nuts! Being a Christian’s not hard; it’s easy! Jesus saves us. I got saved in church when I was 10, and I don’t have to do anything else about it. What’s so hard about that?”
What do you think? Which friend do you agree with—or do you have another opinion? Is being a Christian hard, easy, or would you explain it some other way?

Lesson 4 - The Sinner''s Need
It’s the last evening of your church’s Week of Prayer meeting, and the pastor’s making another one of those appeals for people to give their hearts to God. The lights are low, the music is playing, the pressure builds. Your friends are giggling and kicking each other under the seat.
But from your place in the back row you feel confused. Lately nothing seems to be going right at school, at home, even with your friends. You wonder if “giving your heart to Jesus,” like the preacher says, would make a big difference. What would it even mean? What would your friends think if you stood up and walked to the front? How will your life change if you take this step?

Lesson 3 - The Great Controversy
The main reason people stay away from Christianity is that they have a hard time with what other people say about God and what they think they see God doing or not doing in our world. Here are three questions that young and old have shared as to why they don’t believe or choose to follow God:
1. If God is good, then why do evil and bad seem to reign in the world?
2. If God is all-powerful, why doesn’t He do something about pain and suffering?
3. If God is supposed to be so close, why do I feel only His absence?
How would you answer these questions? You may choose one or all.
