broken #2

This week your kids are going to be learning about
"Help a brother out
Christians have had a pretty sad
track record when it comes to handling a
situation when another Christian falls into
sin. Often, Christians make the mistake
of gossiping, pointing fingers, and even
ignoring the person who has made a
mistake.
But, when another Christian falls
into sin, we are not to do any of that. In
fact, Galatians 6:1 clearly tells us that we
are to “gently and humbly help them
back on the right path.”
In this lesson, we are going to
learn from the example of Jesus how to
gently and humbly help our Christian
brothers and sisters back on the right
path when their lives become

we are starting a new series

“Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the king’s horses and all the king’s men
Couldn’t put Humpty Dumpty back together again.”
Humpty Dumpty was broken and no one could put him back together. What’s
he going to do, just sit there all broken into pieces? It’s such a sad sad story.
That is exactly what it is like living a life without Jesus. When people are living
their life without Jesus as their Savior, their lives are broken. Sin has torn their lives
apart and their lives are totally broken and hopeless.
When your life is broken, you can try to fix it by yourself, but it won’t work. Many
people try to fix their broken lives with things like popularity, relationships, money, even drugs and alcohol. But, none of these things will ever be able to put their broken lives back together again. In this series, we will look at how God can put our broken lives back together again. We will also learn how to help other people whose lives are broken by sin.
God can heal broken lives, but He can also heal broken bodies and broken
relationships. These are all important lessons we will learn in this series.
We pray you and your children will be radically changed and made different as
you join Ashton, Dr. Boing, Dr. Von Hinklesnot, and Twix in this exciting series,
“BROKEN!”

Power verse of the week
“But if we confess our sins to him,

Back Together Again!”

Mythbusters Lesson #6

God can use me to do BIG things for Him!
We’ve been busting myths about God left and right! Myths about God have no chance to survive when we test them against the Word of God, the Bible! What God says about the matter settles it, and that includes this week’s myth! Do you know what a “critic” is? It is someone who judges and criticizes something or someone. A
critic has a critical attitude: looking for all the wrong things they can find and then points those things out to anyone that will listen. Nothing is ever good enough.
God is too critical to use me is a myth, boys and girls! If God was only looking to use perfect people for His purposes, He’d have no one to use since no one but God is perfect! You have a very specific and unique purpose, and God wants to use you in that purpose. Think of some of the utensils in your kitchen. If you needed
to cut a piece of meat, would you use a rolling pin or a knife? A knife, of course, because the knife’s purpose is to cut! If you needed to measure a tablespoon of salt, would you use a tablespoon or a fork? That’s a silly question—
you’d use a tablespoon because that what it was designed for! God has a specific purpose for YOU just like there are specific purposes for kitchen utensils.
God has designed you for His purposes and for His use! And while you aren’t perfect, God does have a perfect plan for your life. God wants to use you in ways that will give Him the glory! The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 4:7 that God puts His perfect truth into people that are imperfect so that everyone around us will know it
is God working in us! What good are we? We are no good—till we let the light of Jesus shine through us. And then we are vessels of honor for Jesus. No one in the Bible except Jesus was perfect. Not Moses, not Mary, not the 12 disciples - but God wasn’t too critical to use them and to use them in GREAT ways for His purpose! The
myth “God is too critical to use me” is BUSTED
