\"question.jpg\"Materials<\/strong>
\nForm two teams to play<\/p>\n

Activity<\/strong>
\n1. Each person one a team is given a chance to tell the opposing team something about his \/ herself. They may choose to say something that is true or something that is false. For example, someone could say,\u00a0“My favorite food is my mom’s fried chicken”<\/em>\u00a0or\u00a0“I went to the school swimming meet on Friday night.”<\/em>
\n2. The other team will try to guess if the person is telling the truth. If they think he\/she is lying, they’ll say, “We doubt it.” If they think he \/ she is telling the truth, they’ll say, “We believe you.”
\n3. If the person sharing the info fools the opposing team, his\/her team gets a point. If the other team guesses correctly, it gets a point.
\n4. Alternate teams until each person has had a chance to tell something about themselves.
\n5. Tally the score, and declare a winner.<\/p>\n

Debrief<\/strong>
\n* What was it like to try to guess if someone was telling the truth?
\n* How is this similar to real life situations?<\/p>\n

Read the story John 20:24-31 then ask:
\n* How is this game like trying to decide whether to believe what Jesus says? How is it different?
\n* What are some things that you have doubted in the Bible? About God?
\n* What are some of your doubts?
\n* Are doubts good or bad?<\/p>\n

Application<\/strong>
\nDoubting Thomas exemplifies an honest seeker that asks for solid evidence before belief. Jesus did not reject his questioning, instead He met his questions head-on and provided the evidence Thomas needed to believe. We see in scripture that God does not reject honest and sincere seeking after the truth. If some obstruction occurs in our trust and relationship with God that impedes progress, then God does give us room to ask questions. The issue that remains is how do we go about seeking after the truth.<\/p>\n
