Fruit of the Spirit - Lesson 4 - Peace vs Anxiety

Welcome To Glenda Gardener's Garden :

Memory Verse :

Philippians 4:6-7 New King James Version (NKJV)

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Doe Doe and The Peaceful Ball (An Object Lesson on Spiritual Peace)  :

Bible Lesson :  

 

Mark 4:35-41 Jesus in the storm .. Peace be Still

In this story Jesus and his disciples are traveling from one side of a to another in a boat, but a storm ensues. Those with Jesus begin to develop extreme anxiety for the situation they are in.  They have no control over the storm and the boat is taking in water.  A sinking boat is never a fun place to be.  All this time though, Jesus is asleep - Jesus is peaceful. No matter the storm or the rocking of the boat, Jesus had peace.  When He is awoken he takes care of the storm.  We have that peace as well, we have Jesus - peaceful as ever - holding us in His grip.. ready to calm any storm we may find ourselves in.  Thank the Lord for Him, and the peace He wants us to have!

Fruit of the Spirit - Lesson 3 - Joy vs Sadness

Welcome To Glenda Gardener's Garden :

Memory Verse :

Psalm 30:5

New King James Version (NKJV)

For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life; Weeping may endure for a night, But joy comes in the morning.

Doe Doe and The Joy vs Sadness (An Object Lesson on The Fruit - Joy)  :

Bible Lesson :  

 

 

Acts 16 Paul and Salas singing in chains

Paul and Silas were placed into prison for doing God's work in the streets.  A spirit was called out of a girl that was being used to make money.  This angered the people and they made sure that Paul and Silas were put into jail.  Not only into jail, but also chained to the jail.  This was a moment many of us might have felt extreme sadness, and maybe we would have blamed God, but instead Paul and Silas choose to sing praises to God.  They picked joy over sadness - and in doing so they were a wonderful example to the others around them, not to mention having them all released from the jail and having an entire family accepting of Christ in their lives!

Fruit of the Spirit - Lesson 2 - Love vs Fear

Welcome To Glenda Gardener's Garden :

Memory Verse :

1 John 4:18

New International Version (NIV)

There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

Doe Doe and The Love vs Fear (An Object Lesson on the Fruit of Love) :

Bible Lesson :  

 

 

Luke 8 Jesus and Legion 

The man known as Legion was pressed to the tombs in chains because of the people's fear for him, but Jesus had love for him - Jesus stepped up and healed him! This did not change the people though.  They were now fearful of Jesus!  How can we fear the one who comes to help us? Even it does not happen the way we think it should.  Fear may hold us back, but embrace the love God has for others and you will not fear reaching out to others!

Agent 2819's Faith Sharing Tip :

Memory Verse :

Galatians 6:2-3 New Living Translation (NLT)

Share each other’s burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ. If you think you are too important to help someone, you are only fooling yourself. You are not that important.

Doe Doe and the Helpful Cards (An Object Lesson on Helping Others)  :

Doe Doe shows how no matter what a problem our friend is in, there is always SOMETHING we can do - and if we were in trouble we would want our friends to do what they could too!

Bible Lesson :  

Mark 2 Helping of a Paralyzed Friend

Putting your hand out to help someone else is a great way to share your faith and in the case of the story of the paralyzed man the faith of his friends got him to where he was able to be healed.  Sometimes the help your friends need is to be brought to Jesus.

Agent 2819's Faith Sharing Tip :

Memory Verse :

Deuteronomy 4:9

New International Version (NIV)

Only be careful, and watch yourselves closely so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them fade from your heart as long as you live. Teach them to your children and to their children after them.

Doe Doe Reveals a Card Trick (An Object Lesson on Teaching Others) :

Doe doe does a card trick and then REVEALS the secret!

Bible Lesson :  

 

Joshua 3 & 4  Crossing The Jordan

Simply tell others about what God has done in your life.  Your testimony is a great way to share your faith, and you can tell them about real  things that help you in your walk.  Just like the Israelites stacked stones to remind them to teach their children - we should do what we can to remember to do the same.

Sharing Your F.A.I.T.H. - Lesson 3 - Imitate Christ

Agent 2819's Faith Sharing Tip :

Memory Verse :

1 Corinthians 11:1

New Living Translation (NLT)

And you should imitate me, just as I imitate Christ.

Doe Doe and The Copycat (An Object Lesson on Imitating Christ)  :

Perfection is a hard thing to imitate, do you think that Kyley can at least keep up with Doe Doe in this trick?

Bible Lesson :  

 

Numbers 20 Moses Hitting when He Should have been Speaking

Being like Christ is a perfect way to share our faith.  If we act like Him, live like Him, think like Him we will be showing others HIM through us! Moses was told to SPEAK to the rock the second time around and while hitting it did produce the desired results at the time, his improper obedience kept him from the promised land later.  Be an imitator of Christ in all things, and you will enter the kingdom of heaven with others who learned from you!
