Exploring The Bible

Fully Rely on God – F.R.O.G.

For our Virtual Bible School, F.R.O.G. @ Home, we will be learning to Fully Rely on God – or F.R.O.G. Our friend, Riley the Faithful Frog, will be our mascot for our lessons. To Fully Rely on God requires FAITH. We need to know that God is trustworthy, God is loving and good, and God is strong and powerful. We need to know about God. We need to know God.

Hebrews 11:1 says “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.”

(The rest of Hebrews 11 gives examples of the faith of our spiritual ancestors.)

Proverbs 3:5-6 says “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.”

So, in our weeks of F.R.O.G. @ Home, we will learn about God and how some of these stories of faithful followers of God demonstrated their faith.

2) Game/activity ideas

• Brain teaser that seems impossible, but can be done – such as make the “Impossible Paper Puzzle”

  • The Impossible Paper Puzzle explained: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_7CJvmK5z4

• Play a water game (water balloon, squirt guns, wet sponge toss, or such) with someone wearing a rain poncho protecting them – reminding us that God protects us.

• Use an air pump to fill air mattress or tire – talk about how the (air) pressure is bringing about good things, such as a comfortable mattress or useful tire.

3) Check out these fun facts: 

• Muscles grow when they deal with “stress” (resistance – such as lifting weights).

• At sea level, the air pressure we experience is about 15 pounds per square inch of surface area. We don’t notice this since our bodies push back with equal force. If the air pressure changes suddenly (like on an airplane take-off or landing), we can feel the change.
