Memorize It

This past Sunday in Kids Church (1st-6th grades), we continued our series called "Imagine". We are learning about Joshua's imaginative leadership and discovering the Promise, Protection, Pathway, Picture and Power that God  provides His people.

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 know His word. We learned that it is important for us to use God's word to help us make good decisions.

In our small groups, we discussed the following questions:

• Why would we choose to memorize God's word instead of just bringing a Bible everywhere we go?  We talked about things that we have memorized (phone numbers, address, the Pledge of Allegiance, etc.) and how it is sometimes necessary to be able to remember that info in a hurry.
• How can memorizing God's word help protect us from making hurtful choices?  We read 2 Timothy 3:16, and discussed the many uses for God's word.
• How can you develop a game plan to memorize God's word?  We talked about different methods of memorizing verses and encouraged the kids to learn at least one verse this week.
