  1. Welcome To 12:13!

  2. Small Talk • What’s the hardest assignment you have had to do in school this year?

  3. 12:13 Class Rules Need to use the bathroom? Ask a parent volunteer Need handouts from a previous week? Ask a parent volunteer Need to borrow a pen? Loan us a shoe and we will loan you a pen! Need to talk with a friend? Wait for the right time...you will.

  4. BiblesForAfrica! Want to make an eternal investment in the life of a Middle School boy or girl in Africa? Hundreds of thousands of Christians in Ethiopia and Uganda have never owned a copy of the Bible. For just $6 you can provide one boy or girl with a Bible in the local language. This is one of the best investments you will ever make!

  5. Face To Face Where do you live? What is your favorite restaurant? What part of the Bible have you been reading most recently? What do you want to be when you grow up? What has been your favorite family trip or vacation?

  6. MODERN PARABLES(Part 4)

  7. THE WIDOW & THE JUDGE(Luke 18:1-8) • “In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected man. And there was a widow in that city who kept coming to him and saying, ‘Give me justice against my adversary…’”

  8. DIGGING DEEPER • Jesus told about a judge who “neither feared God nor respected man.” Did the judge in the movie fit that description? How? • The widow symbolizes anyone who is weak and needy. How did the movie show her weakness? • Why does the judge finally agree to hear the widow’s case? • How is God similar to the judge in the movie? How is he different?

  9. PAIR & SHARE • How many minutes per week do you… • Pray • Watch TV • What name for God do you most often use when you are praying to Him by yourself? • Read Luke 11:9-13 and discuss: How should this passage of Scripture affect the way we pray? • Write down one big prayer request. Share this with your partner and pray with each other.

  10. WHAT DOES JESUS WANT US TO LEARN FROM THIS PARABLE? • No matter how weak and weary we are, we should keep on praying and never give up • If persistent requests have this effect on a wicked judge, what effect will persistent requests have on the righteous and merciful Judge? • “I tell you, he will give justice to them speedily.” (Lk. 18:8) • Pray with faith…pray with faith…PRAY WITH FAITH!
