A 20-minute class plan for The Last Scribe

For a Sabbath School class, a Pathfinder or Adventurer meeting, or a family worship. Both chapters below are free for every player.

The week before

  • Every player has an account, made at home. A child under 13 needs a parent to confirm by email before they can join a room.
  • Players under 13 are friends in the game with their room's host (Friends, then the friend code).
  • One host chosen for every six players.
  • Wi-Fi or mobile data on every device; a projector or television for the teacher's room.

Revelation 1: John on Patmos

Read aloud: Revelation 1:9–18 (King James Version).

  1. John was on Patmos "for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ" (1:9). What can it cost to keep God's word today?
  2. John was "in the Spirit on the Lord's day" (1:10). Which day does Jesus call His own (Mark 2:28)?
  3. The seven stars are in Christ's right hand (1:16, 20). What does that say about how He holds His church?
  4. "Fear not; I am the first and the last" (1:17). Why could John stop being afraid?
  5. He holds "the keys of hell and of death" (1:18). What hope does that give for those who have died?

The Baptism of Jesus

Read aloud: Matthew 3:13–17 (King James Version).

  1. John said, "I have need to be baptized of thee" (3:14). Why did Jesus ask to be baptized?
  2. Jesus "went up straightway out of the water" (3:16). What does that tell us about how He was baptized?
  3. The Spirit came down "like a dove" and the Father spoke from heaven (3:16–17). Who is present at the baptism?
  4. "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased" (3:17). What would it mean to hear that said of you?
  5. Read Romans 6:4. What does baptism show about a new life?
