This lesson introduces children to the origin of sin into our world, but also touches on the appeal of sin that remains even today. The creation lesson laid the foundation for our creation and our being made ‘free’ and the last lesson on being made in the image of God that is stained, this lesson will bring them together with Adam and Eve’s fall with a two-fold application. First, that Jesus has provided salvation, and secondly, that we need to fight temptation daily so that we don’t also make mistakes (sin) that can have long lasting consequences.

Explain the importance of putting Jesus first in your life!

Sometimes the things of the world appear to be more attractive than the things of God, but we have to remember that in the long run, choosing God’s Way will always be better!

Be careful not to lie. The key is to tell the truth, just not the ‘whole truth’ because that is what the world/Satan does.

Step aside, Sam I Am, Jimmy Jim is here, and he wants you to try Jesus! This is the classic Dr. Seuss story, "Green Eggs and Ham" rewritten by the Kidologist with Jimmy Jim trying to get a grumpy old man to try Jesus - in a house, with a mouse, or in a box with a fox, etc. It is a fun way to illustrate the value of witnessing persistently.

Lots of people try to predict the future, in books, magazines, and on TV, but the truth is, you can’t! It is impossible because NO ONE HAS BEEN THERE – but God HAS been there, He is there!

The Bible is more than just an old religious book. It is direct communication from God on how we are to live, a history of our world, and a guide to how we can live the life our Creator intended for us to live. Every story in the Bible, no matter how short, seemingly insignificant, or even boring – is there for a reason and we can learn something valuable from it. The purpose of this lesson is to stir up a fresh curiosity in children as to how the Bible can help them in their daily lives. They should go home more eager to read the Bible for themselves.
