New Series in May

Week 1

Title: No ‘Idol’ Time Allowed

Text: Exodus 19 - 20:5

Main Point: God deserves to be #1 in my life

Lesson Overview: Who doesn’t want to be #1? From an early age, being the best or first in games, sports, academics or other skills are important to kids and in reality, adults! The focus of this lesson is about being #1. Not me, not a pro athlete, musician, actor or entertainer of any kind. The number one slot belongs to God alone! God is worthy of being first in our lives even above our selves. When we put God first, everything else falls into place.

Week 2

Title: Could someone please turn down the heat?

Main Point: It’s safe to put God first!

Text: Daniel 3:1-30

Lesson Overview: What ‘church kid’ hasn’t heard the story of the three Hebrew boys in the fiery furnace? Even so, it still remains a powerful story that encourages both kids and adults alike, not to compromise our obedience to God regardless of the situation or consequence.

Week 3

Title: Can somebody please Baal me out?

Main Point: When I’m alone I will still put God first.

Text: 1 Kings 18: 17-38

Lesson Overview: Being alone is no fun sometimes, particularly for a child. The odds certainly were not in Elijah’s favor as he stood before the king and the 450 prophets of Baal as he challenged the people to put Baal or God first. Wouldn’t you like to know what he was thinking and feeling as he called down fire from Heaven! In a fun way this lesson encourages the kids to put God first even when they are alone.

Week 4

Title: I’m Achan to put God first!

Main Point – Don’t put anything in front of God.

Text: Joshua 7

Lesson Overview: Israel had just won a tremendous victory as the walls of Jericho crashed down. There was no stopping Joshua now, right? Wrong- Achan chose gold and silver first over God. Gold and silver became Achan’s idol. Achan’s idolatry cost the lives of 36 men and also the life of Achan and his family. This lesson will creatively teach kid’s that any THING we put before God becomes an idol.
