Term 2 – Week 10
Big Idea – Followers of Jesus are to be doers of His word and not just hearers.
Matthew 7:24-27
Outcomes
- To know the difference between the wise and foolish builder
- To understand that living God’s way in this world means both hearing the words of Jesus and putting them into practice. This is the life of faith.
Implications
- Belief – Recognising most of our Sunday kids are from Christian families, encourage them to make a decision.
- Ask: Are you a wise builder? Will you listen to the words of Jesus and do what they or not? Outline the eternal consequences for those who do and those who do not.
- Behaviour – Get the kids to think of all the things Jesus taught in his Sermon on the Mount.
- Ask: What does Jesus say his followers are to do? What does Jesus say to do that you find hard? What can you do this week to help you do these things that Jesus says to do?
Memory Verse
Matthew 16:24-26 (NIrV)
Jesus said, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must say no to themselves. They must pick up their cross and follow me. Whoever wants to save their life will lose it. But whoever loses their life for me will find it. What good is it if someone gains the whole world but loses their soul? Or what can anyone trade for their soul?
