Unfold is a whole session on one giant piece of paper! Each unfold of the page reveals a new challenge to complete together.
Start with the GAME with a fun activity to complete as a group. Unfold 2 takes you to the MAP THE WEEK. Follow the route through the questions, giving space for the young people to share the highs and lows of their week, before moving to a question to set the scene for the study and pray together before you begin. READ AND WONDER is the first introduction to the Bible passage for the session, where various creative reflective activities will help young people consider what’s going on in the passage and examine their initial reactions to the content.
Then it’s time for the DEEP DIVE! Start at the beginning and work your way round the page as a group, discussing the questions and learning more about what’s going on in the context boxes. Young people can write, colour and interact with Unfold so each study is designed to be used once. Encourage young people to stay listening in but feel free to doddle on the page in front of them and even take notes to help them remember the things that stuck out to them.
You can do an Unfold session together it in as little as 30 – 60 minutes or take longer if you have more time. There are handy pause points suggesting good moments to break the study if needed.
WHAT'S NEW IN SERIES TWO?
The theme of Unfold series 2 is “Approaches to Jesus”. The gospels are full of interactions between people and Jesus and in those interactions people approached Jesus in different ways. Some drew close fearfully – afraid to be seen associating with Jesus. Some approached pridefully – trying to trick Jesus or show him they knew all the answers. Some came to Jesus humbly, in times of desperation and need, when they were sad, when they were excited. These reactions to Jesus are not limited to Bible times. The same emotions driving people to meet with Jesus in the Bible, are the same emotions that can lead people to Jesus today.
So what can we learn through these different approaches and in what stories do we maybe see our own reactions reflected. This series takes a look at 5 different interactions but underlying each one, no matter how the individual approaches Jesus, we see Jesus meet them with total love, compassion and care. He sees exactly who they are and what they need. He doesn’t judge but he does use their actions to teach them more of who God is and what it means to follow Him.
