In Hebrews 11:1 we see that faith is what gives us strength to follow that “Voice” even when we can’t see where it is leading us. In Psalm 119:105 we see that our Guide, the “Voice” that we need to follow is God’s Word. The two verses that we just read are foundational for Christians when it comes to understanding how faith works. How can we find our way when we can’t see where we are going and can hardly understand what our Guide is saying? Even when we can hear Him, how do we know it is safe for us to follow? (New Living Translation)įaith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen it gives us assurance about things we cannot see. (NLV)Īs we saw in the game we just played, sometimes it can be really hard to follow a voice in the middle of all the distractions. Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path. The goal of the game is for the “contestant(s)” to be guided through the obstacle course by their “voice” despite the surrounding distractions. In this scenario there can be multiple “voices” and “contestants” competing on the same course if space allows. If the groups are very large the game leader has the option to limit the opposing team to using whispers as apposed to shouting. When the game starts, the “voice” must guide the “contestant” through the obstacle course while the opposing team tries to distract the “contestant” with incorrect directions. Blindfold the “contestant” and place him/her at the beginning of the obstacle course. Have the members from the other team surround the obstacle course. Make sure that the “contestant” knows who is the “voice” and can recognize the sound of his/her voice. Have the “voice” stand at the end of the obstacle course. Have each team select two players: one will be the “voice” the other will be the game’s “contestant”. Game Description (for a large youth group)ĭivide the group into teams (two or three works best). The first “contestant” to cross the finish line wins. When the game starts the “voices” must guide their specific “contestant” to the finish line at the other end of the obstacle course. Have the “voices” stand at the end of the obstacle course while the “contestants” are blindfolded and placed at the beginning. One will be the “voice” while the other will be the “contestant”. Game Description (for a small youth group) This space can be as small or large as you would like it to be depending on the size of the teams competing. You will need room to setup a sort of obstacle course. Items for obstacle course (could include chairs, cones, books, coats, shoes… basically anything that you would want the contestants to “avoid”) Looking for youth ministry curriculum?
