Ekids - Week 3 (Good News Boots)



Memory Verse:
“Put on all of God’s armor. Then you can remain strong against the devil’s evil plans.”
Ephesians 6:11



I’m going to tell you a story from the Bible about the good news boots that God gives us. As I read, I’m going to tell you when to color each picture!
To get started, color the empty tomb in the first picture on your comic strip. This empty tomb reminds us that we’ve all sinned. What is sin? (Anything that God tells us not to do)
Because of our sin, we couldn’t be friends with God. But He loved us so much that He sent His Son, Jesus, to die and take the punishment for our sin. Three days after Jesus’ death, God brought Him back to life! This is such good news!






After Jesus came back to life, He appeared to His disciples on a mountainside. Color the picture of the disciples on a mountain while I keep reading!
Jesus had an important message to give the disciples. He said, “Go and make followers of all the people in the world.” The disciples knew that going to faraway places and sharing the good news of God’s love might be hard work, but they also knew that it was very important news that everyone needed to know! Why would sharing the good news be hard work? (Might not know what to say, might get made fun of, would be hard to walk to everyone and tell them, etc.)



When we decide to follow Jesus, we should tell other people the good news about His love. To remind us of this, color the picture of Jesus saying “Go” and “Teach” on your comic strip!
Do you remember who the first person was to tell you about God’s love? (Allow responses) Aren’t you glad that person put on the good news boots and told you about God’s love?
Who is one person you can tell about God’s love? (Allow responses) What would you tell them? (Allow child to practice telling you about God’s love)





Well, with the good news boots, God gives us the words to say and helps us not be afraid to tell lots of other people about His love! And when more people know about God’s love, then more people follow Him and STOP following the enemy!
So on your comic strip, color the boots. At home, put this comic strip somewhere to help you remember that God is with you and He will help you tell others about His love!
And as you finish coloring, tell me how you think you would put on and use the good news boots. (Read about God’s love, pray, practice telling people, etc.)

Hearing and doing I'm amazed at how easy it becomes to nod our heads at all the right places after serving God for a while. We are quick to agree when someone speaks to us about God's Word (given that it is sound doctrine of course), without asking ourselves if it is merely theory to us. The fact of the matter is that most of us believe what the Bible teaches with all our hearts. How is it then that we so easily fall into the trap of knowing but not applying? Hearing but not doing? How do we keep ourselves from thinking we know it all but hold on to a zeal for God's Word that leads to obedience? It is relatively easy to read the 'thou shalt not' passages, to apply it and to tap ourselves on the shoulder thinking we did well! Of course we are doing well if we abstain from all the things we know is bad for us - sinful behaviors, unhealthy attitudes, etc. - but I do think there is more to living a life of abundance and victory! There are many pas...

June's Focus: The Purpose of God

Hi folks, We are so thankful to God for all that He has done and for how faithful He has been to us during this past month. As we journey forward we will continue to celebrate “the family” – both our own and the church. Neither we nor the world we live in is perfect, but it is the world in which we experience goodness of God. To keep your focus on Jesus! After everything Job experienced, he declared: “I know that you can do all things; no purpose of yours can be thwarted ” (Job 42:2). What an amazing perspective and attitude to have a life? We need to answer the following questions: ·                 What is purpose? ·                 Why do I need purpose? ·                 How do I discover God’s purpose for me? ·      ...

DETOX As a church we are moving into a wonderful time of becoming a church that is lead and built by Christ. Since it is His church we have to follow His leading. I am not a medical docter, but I have heard too often how dangerous high cholesterol is and how it starts to block the flow of blood to the different areas of the body. Also, how important the liver is to remove the toxins that are found in the blood stream. I believe the Spirit is taking us into a spiritual DETOX as the Body of Christ. To remove all the “toxins” that we have allowed into our body of believers. These toxins if left will destroy us and steal the purpose and plan that God has for us as a church, to be effective in the mandate we received from God. Some of these toxins are things like: Worldliness, False Doctrine and Complacency. 1 Corinthians 3:3 You are still world ly. For since the re is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not world ly? Are you not acting like mere humans? ...
