Cooperation is working together to do more than you could do alone.

Memory Verse:  “Two people are better than one. They can help each other in everything they do,” (Ecclesiastes 4:9 NIrV)

May 1: We’ll look at different passages throughout Exodus 28, 31, 35 and 39. God could have had Moses do the work on his own, but instead God called expert artists, craftsmen, and all kinds of people to work together to build this incredibly intentional place of worship.

Bottom Line: We can work together to get God’s work done. God Time Card Week 1

May 8: There’s this really great and rather bizarre story in Exodus 17:8-13 where Joshua is battling a group of people called the Amalekites. As the battle starts, Moses is standing on a hill with his brother Aaron and another guy named, Hur. And there Moses is, holding up the staff of God. As long as Moses keeps his arms up, the Israelites are winning. But when he drops his arms, the Israelites start losing. So Hur and Aaron make this really great decision. They hold up Moses’ arms—and with God’s help, the Israelites are victorious.

Bottom Line: We can work together to help someone else succeed. God Time Card Week 2

May 15: In Luke 5:17-26, we find the life of one paralyzed man who just happened to have some really good friends. When His friends heard that Jesus was in town, they tried everything to get their friend to Jesus. In fact, as friends, they cooperated, tore a hole in a roof, and dropped their friend down in front of Jesus while He was teaching. And as a result of their faith and cooperation a miracle happened.

Bottom Line: We can work together to change someone’s life. God Time Cards Week 3

May 22: In Acts 2:42-47 we learn that WE are the body of Christ and it’s our job to act like Jesus. The church is made up of many different people that function like the body. Our mission as Christ followers is to cooperate with each other and act like Jesus.

Bottom Line: We can work together to show others Jesus’ love. God Time Cards Week 4

May 29: In our final week, we look at how the Early Church worked together in Acts 2:42-47 to help those who were in need. And when they cooperated, people noticed. When other people saw all of these different kinds of people working together, they came to know Jesus.

Bottom Line: Working together can point people to Jesus.
