Staying on Milk Makes You a Dud - The Milk Dud Lesson #Kidmin

The Main Point:

Milk Duds - Spiritual Milk To Spiritual Meat (Staying on Milk Makes You a Dud)

The Object Lesson:

The Spiritual Milk



Memory Verse:

1 Peter 2:2-3

New International Version (NIV)

Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.

Bible Lesson:

Samuel is weaned before being given fully to the Lord (1 Samuel 1)

Samuel was born to his mother Hannah after a hardship of not having children. The promise was to give Samuel to the Lord. After Samuel was born Hannah waited until Samuel was weaned, which means he was no longer drinking milk as a baby any longer. As the story continues we see Samuel learn to also understand when he was hearing the voice of God. We all must grow in our walks with Christ. We are like babies when first saved and know nothing. The time for milk is important when we start, but at some point we should move on from it and return ourselves fully to the Lord and his will. 

Doing Work Pays off, Being Lazy Does Not - The Payday Lesson #Kidmin

The Main Point:

Pay Day - Doing Work Pays off - Being Lazy Does Not

The Object Lesson:

The Payday



Memory Verse:

Proverbs 14:23
New International Version (NIV)
All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty.

Bible Lesson:

Parable of talents (Matthew 25)

In the parable of the talents we see an interesting example of how we should be smart with the gifts given to us by God. If those gifts are money or the talents we have within ourselves, it is just as important to use them for the Kingdom of God. This also applies to our lives. Being lazy will not get you anywhere, even if it is just fear that kept you from doing the work - you will end up losing even what you were given if you cannot just step up and do even the simplest thing. We need to try and be smart about the choices in our lives. Work hard and you will end up with a Payday. It may not be loads and loads of money, but there are things better than money.

Memory Verse:

Matthew 18:20
New International Version (NIV)
For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”

Bible Lesson:

 

Jesus sent them out two by two (Mark 6)

When Jesus sent out the disciples to spread the message of the Gospel, He was sure to not have them travel alone. He wants the same for us now. While we certainly do great work for God on our own, when we have someone who can lift us up when we are down - we don't stay down long. Find a friend who has a similar drive as you for Christ and work together to do something great for the Kingdom!

Parable of The Sower - The Jelly Bean Lesson #Kidmin

The Main Point:

Jelly Beans - Parable of The Sower

The Object Lesson:

The Tiny Heroes



Memory Verse:

Galatians 6:7
New International Version (NIV)
Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows

Bible Lesson:

Parable of the sower - Matthew 13

In the Parable of the sower we see a sower doing his job of planting seeds. We also learn about each type of place the seeds land. How they grow or don't grow as well as why. The parable has the sower doing his job exactly as he should, but shows how the growing part is what is important. Tiny seeds of God's word can grow in us a faith that is unshakable if we let them. Be sure you are letting the seeds of God's word get into the GOOD SOIL of yourself. If you are not seeing growth - something is wrong.

The Main Point:

Jawbreaker - God Helps Break The Battle

The Object Lesson:

The Power of the Egg



Memory Verse:

Isaiah 40:29

English Standard Version (ESV)

He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength.

Bible Lesson:

 

Samson and the battle with the Donkeys Jawbone (Judges 15)

Samson was given a crazy amount of strength by God. He also had to follow some certain rules in his life to have his strength stay with him. Once he even used the jawbone of a donkey to fight and beat 1,000 men. So much of what Samson did seems impossible, but the truth is that if we keep doing what God calls us to do He will bring us through all the battles we face as well. 

The Day of Salvation is NOW - The Now and Later Lesson #Kidmin

The Main Point:

Now and Later - The Day of Salvation is NOW

The Object Lesson:

The Salvation Choice



Memory Verse:

2 Corinthians 6:2

English Standard Version (ESV)

For he says,

“In a favorable time I listened to you,

    and in a day of salvation I have helped you.”

Behold, now is the favorable time; behold, now is the day of salvation.

Bible Lesson:

The Rich King and Lazarus the beggar (Luke 16:19-31)

In this story we learn of a rich man who had all one could ask for in life, and also of a beggar who lived at the rich man's gates who could only hope for even just the crumbs from the rich man's table.  They both died and the Rich man begs for comfort and more importantly he begs for a warning to be given to his brothers about what their choices can gain them after they die.  

We do not have a luxury of Now and Later when it comes to salvation and we see this as we read this story as well as the memory verse (2 Cor. 6:2) and must understand we have to slow down and evaluate NOW when it comes to salvation!

God entering our lives is the same.

Memory Verse:

Corinthians 5:17

English Standard Version (ESV)

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.

Bible Lesson:

Nicodemus (John 3)

We read about a man who had high standings in the Israelite community who wished to see Jesus.  He did so in the cover of night to learn more.  Jesus explained how he needed to be 'Born again' in order to understand... to be saved.  This did not mean to be again born from your mommy, but instead Jesus mean spiritually we all need to be born again.  We need to die to the old sinful things of our past and look forward to the righteous things He has for us instead!
