To engage the learners in a study of the Scripture text:
Distribute copies of the “Samuel’s Tough Assignment” exercise from the activity page, which you can download here. Have learners work in pairs or small groups to complete as indicated.
To encourage personal application:
Distribute copies of the “Leaders You Know” exercise from the activity page. Have learners work independently for one minute before working with others in groups of three to complete the activity.
After the activity, end with sentence prayers from class members asking God to help them develop a clean heart and eyes of faith, as well as the specific qualities they wrote down. You may ask students to jot down their prayers on their sheets. Plan time next week to talk about how God is working to develop godly leadership qualities in your learners.
