- Teaching Plan: Icebreaker and Introduction Icebreaker
- Icebreaker Invite learners to discuss in groups of three to six: What are some excuses we might come up with to explain why we’re late for work or church? To explain why we were driving over the speed limit? Which of these excuses are legitimate reasons? What are some common excuses people give for not serving at church?
- In this study Unit, as we consider events in the life of Jeremiah the prophet, certain questions arise, such as these: Are we willing to be used by God? How can we fulfill the purpose for which He made us? As we study this lesson, we will see a call to service as an opportunity to honor God and not as a burden.
- The three sessions that make up this unit are: God Calls God Equips God Affirms
- Explain In verse 6, Jeremiah tried to turn down God’s call, offering the excuse, “I don’t know how to speak.” Moses had given a similar excuse (Ex. 4:10). But there is a bit of difference. Moses was saying he was not a good speaker. The grammar of Jeremiah’s statement, as with Genesis 24:50, can be taken to mean, “I don’t have anything I can say.” God assured Jeremiah that He would supply the words of the message.
- What was the Lord calling Jeremiah to do? What words in verse 5 show that God specifically selected Jeremiah for this task? Why did Jeremiah feel inadequate for the job the Lord appointed for him? Were his concerns legitimate? Explain. How did God respond to Jeremiah’s objections? What commands did He give Jeremiah? What did the Lord promise the young prophet?
- Does God always deliver us from dangerous situations? How does the promise in this passage apply to believers today? What were Jeremiah’s qualifications for his new role as a prophet of God? What does it mean to you that God does not choose us for service based solely on our past performance? How does that address our feelings of inadequacy? How can we recognize God’s call to service today? Can it be God’s call if we simply observe a need and respond? Is it always God’s call if someone asks us to fill a spot on a team or committee at church? Explain.
- What reasons might we give today to explain why we’re not the right person for the job? When are these reasons just excuses? When are they legitimate? How has God equipped you to complete a task He gave you, whether large or small? What obstacles did He help you overcome?

- Apply God calls people to serve Him based on His ability, not ours. When God calls, He equips and empowers for the task. We should lay aside our fears and feelings of inadequacy and respond with confidence to God’s call because we know we are never alone.
- What excuses or objections are you currently using to avoid God’s call? How will you overcome those excuses and fulfill the role God has planned for you? Have you been reluctant to accept the service or leadership of fellow believers because they were young and unproven? What will it look like if you trust God’s choice?
