Be Strong

This past Sunday in Kids Church (1st-6th grades), we finished our "Beefesians" series. We have been going through the Book of Ephesians, learning that God wants us to Belong, Believe, Be Patient, Behave, and Be Strong.

This is a video series, brought to us by Kidmo. We try to use video lessons a few times throughout the year to keep things fresh and to give us time to plan creative elements for our live stuff.

This week, the kids learned that God wants us to Be Strong.  We learned that living in a sinful world requires us to rely on God's strength everyday.  We talked about putting on the armor of God (Truth, Right Choices, Peace, Faith, Salvation, The Bible, & Prayer).

In our small groups, we discussed the following questions:

• What types of things do you need to survive in a desert?  We talked about being prepared for the places we go and the trips we take.
• Why would we need to put on God's armor everyday?  We discussed scenarios where we could "put on" God's armor.  We tried to list different ways that we could use each piece of armor daily.
• How will you "suit up" with God's armor this week? We tried to come up with some simple hand motions to help us remember to Be Strong.

Our verse for this week is Ephesians 6:10 - "A final word: Be strong with the Lord's mighty power."
