Do What you Do Best

Yesterday in Kids Church (1st-6th grade), we continued our Be A Champion series.  The focus of this third installment of the series was to know what you're good at and what to do with it.

We learned that our gifts and abilities come from God, and our task is to use them to change the world.

We discussed the story of Jesus visiting Jerusalem as a child and spending time having discussions with the teachers in the temple.  The kids learned that Jesus knew who he was and what he was going to be.  The kids were encouraged to see their talents and abilities through God's eyes and to try to figure out what God wants them to do with their gifts.

Our key verse for this week is 1 Corinthians 12:5 - "There are different ways to serve the same Lord."

We spent more time in our large group than normal, so we didn't have small groups this week.  However, we did spend a good portion of our time talking about specific gifts that kids have and how God could use them.  In your discussion times with your kids this week, you can talk about the way God made them and how their gifts, personalities, abilities, etc., can be used in service to God.
