New series - GIANT

This Week’s Main Focus:

You are NEVER too young to defeat your GIANT problems!

How old is too old? Is 30 years old too old to be in kindergarten? Is 50 years old too old to be sucking

your thumb? Is 100 years old to old to be called a kid? You CAN be too old for some things. But what about being too young for some things? Is 5 years old too young to drive a car? Is 10 years old too young to be a police officer? Is 20 years old too young to be a grandpa? For sure you CAN be too young for SOME things, too. What about defeating your GIANT problems? How young is too young to believe God for victory over your problems?

You’re NEVER too young to have victory when it comes to defeating your problems, boys and girls!

You are “The Young and The Courageous!” Hey, wait! I just had an idea! That sounds like a great name for a TV show! Let’s see...the main character would be….YOU! (After all, in the word YOUNG is Y-O-U...YOU!) So, YOU are The Young and the Courageous, ready to defeat tall Giants with a single stone, just like David! But wait! Someone comes along, makes fun of you and says, “YOU think you can tackle that problem? HA! You make me laugh!” Uhoh, what’s a young and courageous one like YOU to do?

Quick! To the Bible you go! “Let’s see...where is that verse? There it is!” You’ve found it! “Don’t let anyone

think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers” 1 Timothy 4:12. You put on the whole armor of God, including the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit and you go to meet your problem head on! “I am NOT TOO YOUNG,” you say as you head off into problem solving battle!

What happens next? Will you defeat the problem and then eat a hamburger with a side order of fries?

Will the problem be too much for you and God to handle? Will you ever be able to identify what IS under your bed? Only YOU can answer these questions—and only GOD and YOU can defeat your giant problems! Until next time, this is your TV announcer, I. M. OLD, saying “You are not too young to take on the giant...and that’s the GIANT truth!”

SURFING “CATCHING THE WAVE OF GOD’S PRESENCE”

Main Focus: SURFING “CATCHING THE WAVE OF GOD’S PRESENCE”

“You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart”. Jeremiah 29:13

Today’s lesson is about surfing. Surfing can be a lot of fun, but it also takes a lot of effort and determination. A surfer has to wax his board, get into the water, even if it is cold, paddle out past the waves and then wait. That’s right. He just sits there on his board waiting for the waves to come. God’s presence is similar to that. We have to prepare our hearts and then put forth some effort praising Him, worshipping Him and then sometimes we just have to wait on the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit only comes when He is welcomed and invited. A good surfer will not go after every wave that comes his way. He waits for just the right wave.There are many things in life that can distract us from getting closer to God and can cause us to drift from Him. We must always make time to seek God and spend time in His presence.

“BMX”

this week lesson is about BMX. Freestyle BMX

is a very cool sport but it takes a lot of

practice to get good. If you practice once a

week you won’t be very good, but if you

practice everyday you will get very good. It’s

the same way with God’s Word. The more you

practice His word, the better you will get at

living for God. You will know the difference

between right and wrong because you have

God’s Word in your heart. If you read the Bible

every once in a while you will not be able to live

the life that God wants you to live. We must

read the Bible everyday and hide the Word of

God in our hearts.

“Remove All Pride” lesson # 4

“Remove All Pride”
In God’s Word we find that God
is very clear about how He
feels about pride. Pride is a
very dangerous thing. When
you have pride in your heart,
you are unable to listen to authority
and can only focus on
yourself. In our lesson today
we find Saul who has been
anointed King over Israel has
been given specific instructions
to totally destroy the Amalekites,
but instead he takes
some of the plunder. His pride
and disobedience caused him
to lose the kingdom. God gave
it to David, who had a humble
heart.

Main point : WE MUST ALWAYS STAY
HUMBLE AND REMOVE
PRIDE FROM OUR LIVES

“You saw me before I was
born. Every day of my life
was recorded in your book.
Every moment was laid out
before a single day
passed.”
Psalm 139:16

Ask for Directions

“Ask For Directions” ASK FOR DIRECTIONS
God’s Word is a manual for us to live by.
In our lives we have to make choices and
we don’t always know which decision is
right. That is the time when we need to
seek God and pray, and ask Him to lead
us and guide us. The Bible says “ask”
and you will receive. We should always
be willing to admit that we don’t know
what to do and then ask God for help. If
we do that, we will be less likely to get off
course. David and his men came back
from battle to find that the enemy had
taken everything they had, including their
families. They were devastated. David
decided to ask God for direction. God
told him to go attack the enemy. He did,
and he was able to take back everything
that had been stolen from him. We must
always be willing to ask God for directions.

MAIN POINT WE MUST ALWAYS ASK
GOD FOR GUIDENCE
AND DIRECTION IN LIFE

Memory verse “You saw me before I was
born. Every day of my life
was recorded in your book.
Every moment was laid out
before a single day
passed.”
Psalm 139:16

“Obey Orders” Lesson #2

This week we are doing the second part of our new series
please take advantage of this resource it can be used for a conversation started or a family devotion.
“Obey Orders”
In order to soar high with God, you must always obey His commands. God gave
us special instructions in His Word that will keep us on the right course in life. If
we deviate from this path we will find ourselves in big trouble. All of God’s commands can be summed up with these two: Love God and love others. In our
Bible story today, we find that God told Jonah to go and preach to the Ninevites
but Jonah didn’t want to because he didn’t think they deserved God’s mercy.
He was so disobedient that he traveled in the opposite direction of Ninevah. That’s when he really got in some big trouble.

weekly Memory Verse: “You saw me before I was
born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book.
Every moment was laid out before a single day
passed.” Psalm 139:16

Main Point WE MUST ALWAYS OBEY THE ORDERS THAT GODGIVES US

SOAR Flying High With God #1

SOAR
A lot of time and energy goes into designing and manufacturing an airplane.
Wouldn’t it be such a shame for a plane to be built, but then never
actually get off the ground and fly? In the same way God designed and created
us for a purpose. Not to just sit on the ground and do nothing, but to
soar high with Him. When a plane is in the air, carrying passengers and
cargo, it is accomplishing it’s purpose. We all have a special purpose for our
lives. God had a plan laid out for us before we were ever even thought of.
Most people live their lives never knowing what that plan is.
In this 4-week lesson, your kids will learn that they are very special to
God and that He has an incredible plan for them.

Lesson #1
“Special”
In order to soar high with God, you must know that you are special and
that God has a plan for your life. God called Gideon to lead his people
against a massive army. When the Angel of the Lord approached Gideon,
he didn’t think he was good enough for the job. The fact is: we are not “good
enough” for what God has for us to do. But with His strength and His power
we can do great things for the Lord. If we know that we are “special” to God
and that He has a great plan for us,then we can accomplish many things
for Him.

MAIN POINT : I AM SPECIAL AND GOD
HAS A PLAN FOR MY LIFE
BIBLE VERSE : “You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life
was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day passed.”
Psalm 139:16
