Knockout – Here are instructions and explanations for the game: https://www.basketballforcoaches.com/knockout-basketball. Play the playlist at the end of this Leader Guidet hroughout the game to get the students familiar and excited about the song.

 

Once the game has ended and the winner has been recognized, have the students sit down and ask them what type of feelings/emotions they were feeling during the game. Ask something like:

Ask the students to pay attention to the lyrics during the video and ask them to identify if any of the feelings or emotions they felt during the game are matching up with any of the song lyrics.

Play the music video for “Coming In Hot” by Andy Mineo & Lecrae.

 

Ask the students to raise their hand with anything they have written down during the video. Have them share any similarities between how they felt during the game versus the lyrics in the video.

 

Have the students break into groups with each taking one of the following Bible passages. Ask the students to discuss how these Scriptures speak to our lives as we live out our purpose in Christ, with confidence in ourselves because of who we know Christ is. Have each group share at least one way that we as believers can live more fearlessly because of Christ, based on each passage.

 

 

 

 

 

Remind the students that with Christ in our lives, we are able to live fearlessly, unapologetically, and with confidence in who we are because of Jesus’ sacrifice. We are called to live out our purpose through our unique gifts and character with confidence to shine a light in the world and spread the Gospel. 

 

End the study on a light and fun note by showing the students this behind-the-scenes video of the “Coming In Hot” music video shoot.
