questions the orders he has been given Storm Trooper Finn questions the orders he has been given

Maz warns them they cannot run anymore Why do you think Finn wants to run? Has he done enough by simply refusing to be a part of the First Order?

Even though Star Wars is about epic battles, we face similar decisions about right and wrong every day.

There are many examples in the Bible of people who stood up for what they believed in

2 Thessalonians 2:15 ‘With all these things in mind, dear brothers and sisters, stand firm and keep a strong grip on the teaching we passed on to you both in person and by letter.’ (New Living Translation)

Stand up for what is right The Bible says if you stand up for what is right, even when you are the only one, you will be like a light shining in the darkness, making a difference for good.

Philippians 4:13 ‘For I can do everything through the one who gives me strength.’ (New Living Translation)

What important lessons can we learn from this? What can we do this week that will make a positive difference in our class, school and local community? How can we be more courageous about standing up for what is right in our day to day lives?
