Teach Kids to Put God First.
Challenge kids to think about who they really worship? Do they try to be like their favorite singer, athlete, or movie star or do they want to be just like Christ?
Lesson Overview
Lesson 1 Money - Why do people go out for American Idol? For the fame, for the glory, and for that million dollar prize. But that million dollar prize comes with so many strings attached, it’s almost not worth it! Money and things will never make us happy, but for many people, that’s the greatest idol of all - the pursuit of more stuff. When we die, all that stuff stays behind, and then what will be left? Only us and Jesus. Ecclesiastes 2:4-10
Lesson 2 Misplaced Worship - The celebrity mentors are always a highlight on a show like American Idol, and celebrities can make very enticing idols. But what happens when that idol falls from grace? What happens when they let us down and prove to be less than we thought? People are human, and humans are sinful. Only one man was without sin, and only one man is truly worthy of our worship - Jesus. Philippians 2:1-11
Lesson 3 It's All About Me - Every year we see at least one Idol hopeful who gets swept up in their own press. They let the praise go to their head, and in the end it destroys them. As Christians, we may not fall easily for material idols or even celebrities, but the idol of self is a hard one to resist. If we’re not taken in with our own greatness, we can be lured in by our own self-righteousness. Either path leads us away from worshiping the one who is truly worthy of our praise. Luke 11:37-54
Lesson 4 Only One - At the end of any contest there can only be one winner. At the end of time only one God will stand above the others. When we accept Christ, we must decrease while Jesus increases. We must humble ourselves and let everything we do increase God’s fame and not our own. We are not the one worthy of the spotlight. Only He is! 1 Kings 18:17-24
