Young But Mighty

Subject: Young But Mighty

Scripture: 2 Kings 5:1-14 

Memory Verse: 1Timothy 4:12


Objective: To impress upon the young that age does not limit their impact when God is with them.

Warm-Up

“Who’s Too Young?”

Have you ever been told you’re too young for something? Too young to drive? Too young to vote? Too young to stay up late?People may think you’re too young to do big things — but in the Bible, God used young people to do mighty things that even adults were afraid to do. Today we’re going to see how God can use YOU right now, not just when you’re older.

 

Questions

1.     What does Paul tell Timothy about being young? 1 Timothy 4:12


Discussion: How can a young person “set an example” to older believers? Which of the five areas (speech, conduct, love, faith, purity) do you think is hardest? Why?


2.     What was David’s mindset as a young man facing Goliath? 1 Samuel 17:45–47


Discussion: What gave David the confidence to fight someone bigger and stronger? What challenges or “giants” are teens facing today that require courage?


3.     How did God respond to Jeremiah’s concerns about his age? Jeremiah 1:6–8


4.     What does young Samuel’s “Speak Lord, I am listening”, teach us about God’s expectation of those He will use as young people in mighty ways today?” 1 Samuel 3:1-10


Note: As a boy serving in the temple, Samuel heard God’s voice when others weren’t listening. He grew into a prophet who anointed kings. Think About It: What are some ways God might try to “call” young people today? What distractions or “noise” make it hard for you to hear from God?


5.     How does the example of the servant girl in Naaman’s household show that even young people can make a big impact for God? 2 Kings 5:1–3


Note: A young, unnamed girl in captivity, boldly spoke of the prophet Elisha, leading Naaman to be healed of leprosy. Being “mighty” doesn’t always mean loud or strong — it can mean obedient, faithful, loving, and pure. Teens today can lead by example in school, at home, on social media, and among peers by introducing them to the experience the goodness of God.


6.     How did a boy king demonstrate that age is not a hindrance to doing mighty things for God? 2 Kings 22:1; 23: 3-8

 

Note:  Age doesn’t determine ability in God's kingdom. Josiah became king of Judah at 8 years old. In his teen years he led a massive spiritual reform by tearing down idols and restoring God’s word. Think About It: God doesn’t wait for you to grow up to use you. He wants to work through you right now. Are you willing to be “young but mighty”?

 

Activities:

 "I Am Mighty Because..." Affirmation Cards

Instructions:

  • Give each person a blank card. Have them write:


    “I am mighty because God has chosen me to…”

  • They fill in the rest with a calling, strength, or role they feel God may be developing in them (e.g., “...encourage others” or “...stand up for what's right.”)

 

 

Bible Character Match-Up Game

Instructions:

  • Create cards: one set with names (David, Timothy, etc.), and one with a short description of their mighty act as a young person.

  • Teens match them and share what inspires them about each.

 

Homework

 

Set an Example Tracker (Weeklong Challenge)

Instructions:

  • Each teen gets a tracker with 5 boxes labeled:


    Speech, Conduct, Love, Faith, Purity

  • Each day for a week, they record a way they tried to be an example in each area.

  • Next week, regroup to reflect and share wins or challenges.
