Be Determined!

Using object lessons and games are a good way to help children remember the concept you are teaching them.

This video has an object lesson/game you can use with children and adults. It teaches us not to give up and to keep trying.

God wants us to be determined to obey His Word and not give in to life’s pressures.

God is there to help you stay determined!

“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.”

Joshua 1:9 NIV

Are petty disagreements or a bad attitude getting in the way of sharing God with others? Is it causing conflict between friends.

Starting a quarrel is like breaching a dam;
so drop the matter before a dispute breaks out.

Proverbs 17:14 (NIV)

By working together we can show God’s love and be a testimony to others.

This folktale story is about three trees and has  important lessons for children and adults. Life does not always go how we want it to go. We need to remember that God has everything in His perfect plan. The future is out of our control, but it is all in God’s control.

This story also tells of Jesus birth, life, and death/resurrection. The Tale of Three Trees felt board story is an excellent way to teach the significance of Christ life.
