lesson #2 JOY ( The Gift Series)

The Gift of Joy

When we are feeling down and
sad due to life’s difficulties and trials, we
are in desperate need of God’s GIFT of Joy.
Shortly after Mary received the
news that she would bear a son, she
went to visit her cousin, Elizabeth. When
the pregnant Mary walked in the room, the baby in Elizabeth’s womb leaped for
Joy.When Jesus enters the picture for us, we can’t help but feel the same joy!
No matter how tough life gets, we can receive the GIFT of Joy from God if we
ask Him. In this lesson, your kids will learn that Jesus is the source of their Joy!

Things to remember

Power point : “Whatever happens, dear brothers

joy.” – Philippians 3:1

Big Idea : “God Gives Joy To Every

New Series in Kids Church (The Gift)

Christmas is around the corner
32 days away - we are starting an new series in Kids church called the Gift
and this week the lesson is about The Gift Of Grace
Christmas is almost here! It’s time to get ready to celebrate THE
GIFT— the birth of God’s only Son,Jesus! In this lesson, we will discover the
GIFT of Grace—through the story of the angel appearing to Mary, announcing
that she is carrying the Son of God. It is through Jesus, God’s Son, that we find
the Grace we need to be forgiven and free from sin. Mary was the first one to hear the
news, but we all can experience the great wonder of God’s Grace when we
receive His Son into our lives. Enjoy this lesson as we marvel at the wonder of God’s GIFT of Grace.

Between the lines - Lesson # 1

rong, it can be very difficult for us to forgive them. Often, we hold onto the
hurt, the pain, the memory of what they have done and choose not to forgive
them. Forgiving someone is hard to do, but NOT forgiving is even worse. For a
Christian, that’s not even an option. We must not live our lives holding back forgiveness from someone, no matter what they have done to hurt us. If we do, it
hurts us much more than it ever hurts them.
In this lesson, the children will look at the parable of the Unforgiving
Servant and learn that we must choose to forgive others because God has
forgiven us of so much more.

Power Verse of the week ”If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Fatherwill forgive you.” – Matthew 6:14

Big Idea “If You Wanna Live Like He Wants You To Live, You Gotta Learn How
to Forgive!”
