Lesson #5 “God Is Too Busy To help Me”

“God Is Too Busy To help Me”
God has a busy schedule. Create planets in the morning, monitor the
lives of 7 billion people during the day,cause the stars to twinkle at night, and
much more. But, his schedule is NEVER too full to stop everything to help one of
His children in need. Many people believe that God is too busy with “more important things” than to come to their rescue when they need Him. In today’s lesson, we will learn about how when Jesus was on his way to heal Jairus’ daughter, he stopped
everything to help a woman in need. NO matter how busy God is, He will always
be there for us when we need Him.

Lesson #4 Mythbusters

This week we are going to provide a copy of the weekly devotion
This is what your kids are learning this week
As a family, brainstorm some of the really bad things people do.
Ask your kids to tell you some of the things that they know other kids
have done that have gotten them in trouble. Then ask them what they
think is the worst thing in the world that somebody could ever do—what’s
the worst sin they can think of. Ask the following questions about that sin:
* How do you feel towards people who do that?
* Do you think people who do that should be forgiven? Why or why
not?
* Do you think God still loves people who do that?
* Do you think God forgives people who do that?
* How many times do you think God would forgive someone for doing
that?
Then tell your kids that while they probably will never do
anything as bad as the sin they chose, they will sin sometimes. Ask them
to think about some of the things they’ve done wrong lately (they don’t
have to mention them if they don’t want to) and then ask the same questions
above about the sins they’ve committed.

Remind your kids that when they’ve done things wrong in the
past, you’ve always forgiven them and that you’ll continue to forgive
them in the future. Then tell them that God is even more forgiving than
you are; he not only forgives them for what they’ve done, he chooses to
forget it and never reminds them of it again.
Close the devotion by praying together and asking God to help
you understand just how much he loves you and how willing he is to
forgive you when you ask him to. Thank him for caring about you and
your family so much.

Lesson #3 (Mythbusters)

Have you ever felt worthless?
Have you ever looked in the mirror and
felt that the person staring back at you
was unlovable? Many children feel
exactly that way. They feel that God is
unable to love them because they see
themselves as worthless. For some, it’s
because other people have told them
that they are worthless for a long time –
and now they believe it.
God made every one of us. He
loves every one of us. Even if we can’t
love ourselves or we don’t feel that
others love us – we can ALWAYS know
that God loves us BIG-TIME.
In today’s lesson, we will look at
the story of a leper to see just how much
God loves those who feel unlovable.

Lesson #2 (Mythbusters)

Children often feel small and
insignificant. They feel that they are so
small and God is so big. They begin to
believe the myth that God is too big to
notice them.
In this lesson, the children will
learn from another small person in the
Bible, Zacchaeus. They will learn how
Jesus stopped everything to notice a
small little man and even asked to come
to his house. Zacchaeus became a
believer and began to follow Jesus.
No matter how small and insiginifcant
we may feel, God is never too big to
notice us. He knows every hurt, every
care, every concern, and every detail of
our lives. We are never so small that
God loses track of us. He loves us and
cares about our every need.
