Week of September 6th!
This Week's Lesson!
Better Together!
Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
This week, we learn about the types of relationships that God has created us for! Did He create us to do things on our own because it may be easier? Did He create us to lean on others to make us stronger? Did He create us to have good friends AND lean on Him to make us stronger? Watch this week's lesson video to find out!
Application
We may be temped to think that things might be easier to handle or do on our own...but God made us for relationships! Not just any type of relationship though. Our friendships have great impact on us, so it is important that we have GOOD friends, the right kind of friends! Use the discussion questions below to talk about what it means to be a good friend and if we are one!
Pray
Take some time to pray with your Zoner!
God, thank You for helping us to love others. Please help us to remember to choose our friends carefully, and to be a good friend too! Thank You for loving us and for giving us friends who make everything better. We love You, and we pray these things in Jesus’ name, amen.
Memory Verse
"A friend loves at all times. They are there to help when trouble comes."
Proverbs 17:17 (NIrV)
Activity of The Week:
Better Than One!
Supplies needed: Blown up Balloons, a timer
Do: If you have multiple Zoners in your home, they can all play at the same time! For round one, give them ONE balloon, and see if they can keep the balloon in the air for just 30 seconds. For round two, give them TWO balloons, and see if they can keep them up for 30 seconds. Continue this for as many rounds and see how many balloons they can keep in the air for 30 seconds!
Say: It was probably MUCH easier to keep just one balloon in the air! As you got more and more balloons, it probably would have been easier to keep them all up if you had a whole team to help you, right? This week’s verses are about how two people working together are stronger than just one person by themselves. God created us to have good friendships with others. Finding friends is SUPER important, but it’s even MORE important to find friends who want the best for you and will help you trust God! It’s also important to BE a friend who helps others trust God.
