  Objective - Students will learn how to sacrificially serve others and will be challenged to follow Christ’s example of serving. Scripture - Matthew 20:25-26 But Jesus called them to Himself and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those who are great exercise authority over them. Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant.” Summary - Today’s lesson was the third of a four-part series on Christian Basics called It’s Game Time: Working Together to Win. In this lesson, we explored how to serve others like Jesus did. The Son of God took on the role of a servant to care for the many needs around Him. Just like Jesus cared for the physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional needs of those around Him, His followers should do the same. The goal of this lesson was for students to learn how to sacrificially serve others and to challenge them to follow Christ’s example of serving. We discovered that t

Objective  - Students will learn that prayer should be natural for a follower of Jesus Christ and will be encouraged to cultivate continual communication with God through prayer. Scripture - 1 Thessalonians 5:17 Pray without ceasing. Summary - This was the second lesson of a four-part series on Christian Basics called It’s Game Time: Working Together To Win.

By doing this, we are nurturing our relationship with Christ, which brings us true joy. We know that He desires for us to pray to Him, and He listens. He wants that relationship with us. For this, we can give our gratitude to Him in joyful prayers of thanksgiving. We can praise Hi

Scripture - Matthew 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. Summary - Today’s lesson was the first in a four-part series on Christian basics called It’s Game Time: Working Together to Win. In this lesson, we focused on the importance of both sharing one’s salvation testimony and living in such a way that we truly are the light of the world (Matthew 5:16). Every Christian has a story of when they trusted Jesus to rescue them from sin and how they have changed as a result of salvation through Jesus Christ. We call that story a testimony. When we share our story with others, it brings God glory and could help someone come to faith in Jesus Christ. Take the time to read Matthew 5:13-16 as a way to better understand what your student learned. The question proposed to students this week was, “Wil
