To begin the session:
Divide participants into three groups. Distribute copies of the “What to Remove” exercise from the activity page, which you can download here. Have groups work to complete as indicated.
After the activity, lead into the Bible study by saying, “Being ‘like a child’ can mean different things. In today’s text from Matthew, we consider which of these ideas Jesus meant when he was teaching his followers.”
To encourage personal application:
Distribute copies of the “Humble Behavior” activity from the activity page. Have learners complete it individually (in a minute or less) before dividing into pairs. Give pairs time to pray for each other’s plan to show humility throughout the week.
At the beginning of the next lesson, ask volunteers to share what happened when they practiced humble behavior during the week.
