CONFIDENCE
Living like you believe what God says is true.
MEMORY VERSE
“I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.” – Psalm 27:13
Week 1:
We start the month with something that Paul tells us in Ephesians 2:20-21. He explains that we are held together by Jesus. When we build our life on Jesus, we have a strong foundation that will stand against whatever life might throw at us.
Bottom Line: Jesus matters most. Jesus came to bring us life to the full.
We find confidence when we build our life on Him. We pray that kids will understand that living fully alive is best when they put their trust in Jesus.
Week 2:
We look to Judges 6–8. When God called Gideon to lead the Israelites, Gideon doubted God would really want him to help. Gideon was from the smallest tribe, the smallest family, and he was the smallest of his family! God wanted him anyway and eventually Gideon learned that God could use him no matter what!
Bottom Line: God can use you no matter what.
Big or small, young or old, God can use people to do amazing things. We pray that whether kids feel like Gideon or have the confidence of an extreme sports superstar, kids will realize that God can use them.
Week 3:
There’s an important story about honesty throughout the book of Judges 13–16. From the start, Samson was set apart to lead God’s people. His life had many ups and downs as he tried to live from his own strength, but ultimately his confidence in God allowed him to carry out the plan for his life.
Bottom Line: God is stronger than anyone.
Believing that God is stronger than anyone can give us the confidence to put our trust in what He can do more than what we can do. We can only do so much on our own. We need God’s help to accomplish God’s plan for our lives.
Week 4:
Finally, we head to a principle found in 1 Kings 18 Elijah had confidence that God could do the impossible. He believed that God would send fire from heaven to prove that He was the all-powerful God of the universe.
Bottom Line: God can do the impossible.
This simple bottom line is packed with some amazing truth. God has the power to do anything! When we believe that, it changes everything. We hope kids discover how they can live differently knowing this truth about God.
