Lesson 5
I Can Take Action!
Profile: Ebed-Melek
Key Word: Jeremiah 38:13a
In this lesson, students will realize that, as Christians, they must do more than feel sorry for those who are less fortunate. Just as Ebed-Melek was moved to get Jeremiah out of a muddy pit, true compassion should inspire them to do something to address the problems they see in their community and world.
Lesson 6
I Can Witness!
Profile: John the Baptist
Key Word: John 1:29b .
In this lesson, students will learn the importance of following the example of John the Baptist. Even though others were confused about his identity, John the Baptist never lost sight of who he was, He knew that he was a messenger of God who was sent to tell the world about Jesus. Students will see that they can spread the same message about Jesus in the world and stand up for what they believe.
Lesson 7
I Can Be Forgiven!
Profile: Peter
Key Word: Luke 22:61b
In this lesson, students learn about how they can be forgiven completely just like Peter, a passionate disciple and a faithful follower of Jesus. When given the opportunity to openly acknowledge his relationship with Jesus, Peter repeatedly denied knowing Jesus. Rather than condemn or punish Peter, Jesus forgave him. Students will learn that forgiveness is not reserved for those who behave the best, but forgiveness is for everyone who seeks it from God.
Lesson 8
I Can Serve!
Profile: Simon of Cyrene
Key Word: Luke 23:26
In this lesson, students learn that service for others counts with God. Simon of Cyrene wasn't only at the right place at the right time, he was also willing to serve. He didn't realize the importance of his simple act of carrying the Cross of Jesus. As students go through this lesson, they will be challenged to make themselves available to serve others in the name of Jesus and for the cause of Christ.
Lesson 9
I Can Be Loyal!
Profile: Mary Magdelene
Key Word: John 20:15b
In this lesson, students learn how their loyalty to Jesus matters. This lesson features Mary Magdalene who was distraught at the disappearance of Jesus' body. She didn't recognize Him when He stood a few feet away from her. It wasn't until He said her name that she recognized His voice. Students will learn that loyalty to Jesus has benefits far beyond anything they could ever imagine.
Lesson 4
(Combined lesson)
I Have Courage!
Profile: Esther
Key Word: Esther 4:16
In this lesson, students learn about how Queen Esther found the courage to approach the king. She asked for help even though doing so could have resulted in the loss of her life. Students will learn to be like Esther and exercise faith to know they will receive the power of God to give them courage. Their bravery is evident when they ask and put all their trust in Him.
