To begin the session:
Distribute copies of the “Movie Script” exercise from the activity page, which you can download here. Have learners work in small groups to complete as indicated. After 10 minutes, reconvene the groups and ask them to share their results.
Transition to Bible study by saying, “Today’s Scripture describes how Jesus interacted with some religious leaders who were proud of their status as a part of the perceived ‘in’ crowd. As we study, notice Jesus’ reaction to their attitude.”
To encourage personal application:
Distribute copies of the “We Still Have a Problem” activity from the activity page. Have learners complete it in pairs before discussing conclusions with the whole class.
Close class with prayer. Begin with a silent time of repentance for hypocritical attitudes. Finish by asking God to reveal to learners how to live in a consistent way that demonstrates God’s love.
