    In the Garden of Eden, the snake tempted Adam and Eve to eat the forbidden fruit. But it was ultimately their decision to disobey God and choose to sin. In the world, there is temptation all around us, but it is our choice whether or not we say yes to temptation or yes to God’s way.

    Donkey

    Scripture: Numbers 22:21-38, Balaam's Donkey Speaks

    Balaam had done things his way instead of God's way. In order to get his attention, God sent an angel to block his way, and gave his donkey the ability to talk. In the end, Balaam realized that God's way was the only way.

    Scripture: Jonah 1 & 2, Jonah and The Big Fish

    Raven

    Pig

    Jesus told the parable of a son who took his father's money and went his own way. Eventually, when the son had been reduced to a job of feeding pigs, he returned home in disgrace. But the father took him back with joy and celebration. That is the same way Jesus rejoices when we ask Jesus to forgive our sins and come into our hearts as our Savior.

    Objective: Kids will learn that God loves us and will forgive our sins when we repent and ask Jesus to be our Savior.

     

    Camel

    Scripture: Matthew 19:16-26, The Rich Young Man

    A rich young man walked about disappointed when Jesus told him to sell all of his possessions and give to the poor. Jesus said it is easier for a camel to fit through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to get into heaven.

      Each Lesson Includes:

      • Make It Stick! Parent Sheet - so you can let mom and dad know what kids are learning each week and look like a rockstar teacher who's thought of everything.
      • Memory Verse - so that you can make sure kids are getting Scripture in their minds and hearts every single week and you can feel like each lesson was a success even when it seems like 90% of your lesson time is spent saying things like "calm down", "let's be quiet", "hands to yourself!"
      • Skit or Puppet Show - so you have a way to easily connect the lesson with your hands-on and visual learners. No drama team? No problem! Just hand the script to the kids. They'll have a blast and think you're the coolest.
      • Craft Activity - so you can give kids a physical reminder of the Bible lesson (and give yourself an activity to keep them busy until mom and dad come back!)
      • Game - so kids don't leave and say church was BORING! Games are so important to help keep kids engaged. Our large group games always include a "What's The Point" section to help you connect the game to the lesson.
      • Large Group Lesson - so you can present the Bible story in a clear and fun way, which means now you can enjoy Saturday nights instead of stressing over putting a lesson together!
      • Small-Group Discussion - so you can find out who was paying attention and who was talking to their neighbor.  Just kidding, this is a great way for you to build deeper relationships with your kiddos after each lesson, which means you're going to care about them so much you'll cry like a baby when they graduate and go to middle school :(
      • More! - Yes, there is even more than all of that so that you can easily put together the perfect lesson for your ministry each weekend, which means no more agonizing over how to adjust complicated lesson plans.
