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.)

Is it wrong to be familiar with God?

Y ou may or may not have heard the statement made in a Charismatic meeting. The preacher, after using one or more biblical passage to prove his point, solemnly warning the congregation about the dangers of becoming familiar with God. Often spiritual issues like losing the fear of the Lord, unbelief and pride are listed as the end result of familiarity with the Almighty. But is this really true? Now I am not for a moment diminishing the seriousness of the aforementioned spiritual issues. But is familiarity with God truly the culprit? One of the passages I've most often encountered that is used in this regard is found in Mark 6: “Jesus left there and went to his hometown, accompanied by his disciples. When the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were amazed. “Where did this man get these things?” they asked. “What’s this wisdom that has been given him? What are these remarkable miracles he is performing? Isn’t this the carpenter? Isn’t th...

Ekids - Week 4 (Shield of Faith)

Bible Story Page (4-5) “Exploring Canaan” (Numbers 13-14) GIVE each child a paper plate and a coloring utensil. Then, SAY: ALLOW kids to put plates on top of heads. Then, READ the story below. ALLOW kids to look at their drawings and score them based on the numbers below: In Numbers 13-14, there is a story about two men who relied on their faith in God to protect their hearts when everyone else was weakr. As I read this Bible story, I will give you instructions about what to draw on your plate! BUT…you have to put the plate on top of your head while you draw! A long time ago, God’s people, the Israelites, were slaves in Egypt. But God used a man named Moses to free them from slavery and lead them to the amazing land that God promised them. After being in the desert for many years, Moses and the Israelites finally arrived at Canaan, the land that God had promised to give them. Moses chose 12 men to go into the land. He wanted them to see what it looked like, if...
