The lesson of the mustard seed is the key verse for this lesson. Characteristics of the Holy Spirit are covered. Students look in the Bible to learn how to ask God for guidance with the big issues of life and to watch for His answers. Each of us has something (or will have something) in life that seems too big to be changed – an issue of faith, a broken relationship, a health issue, a work-related situation, a financial problem.

Students are encouraged to use Scripture as they focus on a specific prayer need for a period of time and pray intently for God to move that mountain according to His will. Students are encouraged to be still, listen, watch for and recognize the subtle and obvious ways God chooses to move their mountain. Sometimes the mountain that moves is the discovery of consistent and faithful prayer.

Look in the Book:  
Students will read about Jesus’ arrest, trial, crucifixion, and burial in 
John 18-19.

Leaders and students are encouraged to choose and begin praying faithfully for a period of time for God to move a mountain in their lives. While God moves in His own time, having a set period challenges the student to begin the habit of continual prayer. Sometimes the “mountain” that  moves is the resistance to beginning of a regular, earnest prayer time.
