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,
he is faithful and just to forgive
us ...” – 1 John 1:9

Big Idea of the week
“God Can Put My Broken Life
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

Power Verse : “If you keep yourself pure, you will be [someone]
Big Idea “God Can Use Who? Me !”
God can use for his purpose.” – 2 Timothy 2:21

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.
