Bible passages for focused prayer

This short game promotes cohesion and team spirit.

And God said, "Let there be space between the waters to separate the waters." And so it happened, God created that space to separate the waters above and below it. And God called the space "heaven." It became evening and morning: the second day. (Genesis 1:6-8)

I have the devotion on the second day to the "dividing of the waters." We now disagree on what the water looked like in the sky. I imagine clouds. As we know them now. But my brother thinks there were no clouds before the Flood and it was a layer of water in the sky. Can you help us there? What did the water in the sky look like?

In this game players play in groups. These groups get the task to take pictures of certain objects and/or certain constellations. To solve this task, they have to find the given motives and partially need to ask by-passers for help.

It is said to happen to the ablest of tea-circle workers that they occasionally struggle to put together a game night or use games well-placed.

I wanted to tackle the meaning of the cross with our church youth group, aged 12+, who are predominently not church-going children.

Below is an outline for a talk which worked really well for us as the framework for an evening around a campfire - taking the group through from an easy introduction to symbols and logos through to a biblical presentation of the meaning of the cross.

We finished the evening with a challenge to the children; to make them think more carefully about the cross and what it means to them. You may want to change this to better suit the type of group you have, and where they are on their spiritual journeys.

Mentoring in its original form, as practiced by the Greeks, has nothing to do with the Christian faith. However, since the meaning of the word has changed (discipleship would be more appropriate), the word is used in its new sense (extended coaching) in this article.

The principle of mentoring is the principle of multiplication. Paul describes precisely this multiplication to his mentor Timothy and instructs him:

"Pass on the message you have heard from me, the truth of which has been confirmed to you by many witnesses, to trustworthy and reliable people who will also be able to teach others." (1 Tim. 2.4).

In this game, the goal is to collect as much money as possible. The one who has accumulated the most money has won.

After that, a "good" link can be made on the subject of money, earthly possessions. Possible Bible passages could be: Matthew 6:19-21, Matthew 6:26 

With this Bible reading idea, you can experience 10 to 15 inspiring minutes together with other people from your group.

Mikado game with "big" sticks

This game is all about having fun. There are no winners and no losers.

In the new quarter of our EPA season, we are starting a new theme that is all about different short stories. They are related to children or animals that God uses in amazing ways. The next story we will look at will be about John Sr. and his family. Our emphasis will be on the fact that no matter what difficulties we get into, God will not abandon us and he will always be with us.

A glance at the children's section of a bookstore is enough to see the importance of the theme of friendship. Books with tales of brave children's gangs share the shelf with friendship books to fill in yourself.

Invitations contain the necessary information about your events, such as meeting place and time. They serve on the one hand to inform your youth about upcoming events and on the other hand as a simple means to invite outsiders.

We organize a soapbox race with as little effort as possible. This can encourage the teenagers and children to build their own soapboxes.
