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!

Sharing Your F.A.I.T.H. - Lesson 5 - Help 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.

Sharing Your F.A.I.T.H. - Lesson 4 - Teach Others

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!

Sharing Your F.A.I.T.H. - Lesson 2 - Act In Love

Agent 2819's Faith Sharing Tip :

Memory Verse :

John 13:35

New International Version (NIV)

By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

Doe Doe and The Given Coins (An Object Lesson on Acting in Love) :

Doe Doe tells the Lakewood Kids a story about acting in love and how God provides for us to show love to others!

Bible Lesson :  

Luke 10:25-37 The Good Samaritan

Sharing your Faith is as simple as LOVING OTHERS.  Jesus had no problem showing love to anyone He came into contact with.  When He was asked 'Who is my neighbor' Jesus told a story to show how ANYONE can be a neighbor if we extend love towards them.  By not doing this we limit the sharing of our FAITH - so show love towards another TODAY!

Sharing Your F.A.I.T.H. - Lesson 1 - Forgive Others

Agent 2819's Faith Sharing Tip :

Memory Verse :

Matthew 6:14

English Standard Version (ESV)

For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you,

Doe Doe and The Forgiving King (An Object Lesson on Forgiveness) :

Doe Doe tells the Lakewood Kids a story about forgiveness and shows them why it is important for them to be forgiving to others!

Bible Lesson :  

Matthew 7:3-5  There's a Plank in your Eye!

We make sharing our Faith harder than it should at times.  Jesus told us not to judge, and the easiest way to do as Jesus has asked us in Matthew 7 is to be forgiving of others.  Just by doing this, you are sharing your faith in Jesus.  One day someone may ask you how you deal with things, and you can tell them all about how Jesus helps you through it, and the grace He has that gives you Faith in Him and a willingness to FORGIVE OTHERS!

Lessons From Treasure Planet : 5 - True Treasure

This is an adapted lesson from Kidology that used Treasure Island.  You may need an account to be able to see the information there, but we will be releasing our versions as soon as we are done.  Check it out HERE : http://www.kidology.org/zones/zone_post.asp?post_id=2118 

Memory Verse :

Matthew 6:21

New International Version (NIV)

For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Doe Doe and the Next Great Worker For God (An Object Lesson on Ability!!) :

Doe Doe talks about many great workers for God. Is there room for another?!

Bible Lesson :  

Isaiah 39:61-68

Hezekiah after his illness and healing from God

When Hezekiah was told all his treasures would be gone he only saw the value of his life. On one hand this is good because he understood the life God granted him was more important than the treasures all his forefathers had gathered, BUT on the other hand - he could not see because of his BIG HEAD in showing Babylon all his riches he had set up a future for others full of slavery,  We need to understand both!! Have pride in God and no other AND understand the treasure God has given us in our lives. God, and access to heaven are treasures to us, but the treasure that we have been searching for, is really ourselves.  To God, our lives are treasures.  He wants nothing more than us to CHOOSE to live for Him, that is why He gave us the Bible, our map, Jesus, our Captain, and the Holy Spirit, our compass.  He WANTS us to make it to our treasure, and His treasure to make it to Him!

He replied: “Watch out that you are not deceived. For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am he,’ and, ‘The time is near.’ Do not follow them.

Doe Doe and the Deceptive Toothpick (An Object Lesson on Deception and you learn to do a trick!!) :

Doe Doe talks about deception and he teaches how to do this simple trick with a toothpick.  No it is not the same as last weeks!

Bible Lesson :  

1 Kings 13:11-34

The Old Prophet lies to the New Prophet which causes the New Prophet to Die

This prophet enters this land with a word from God and all the instructions (or map) that he could ever need. He was righteous and firm in declaring the word of God but still he was deceived by a lie. We must be careful using all the tools provided to us by God and always be aware that there are those out there that would choose to trick us even when looking like they want to help us.

Memory Verse :

Ecclesiastes 4:12

New International Version (NIV)

 Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves.
A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.

Doe Doe and The Picky Tooth Friends (An Object Lesson On Friends) :

Doe Doe talks about how helpful it can be to have close friends in your life, and walk with God!

Bible Lesson :  

Genesis 2:18

God created Woman so Man would not be alone

In the quest for TREASURE it is very hard sometimes to get done what needs to get done, so you are going to need help.  The help you gain is friends.  You can pick your friends wisely or you can end up with friends that are not very helpful.  At the start of creation, man was surrounded by different animals and he named each one, but God knew that none of the animals would be suitable for Adam.  God then created woman, who is made in such a way to be the perfect helper for the man.  We all have to work together in this search for TREASURE, God made us that way!

Memory Verse :

New International Version (NIV)

Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.

Doe Doe and The Heavenly Map (An Object Lesson On The Path To Heaven) :

Doe Doe tells as story about two boys and their map to heaven!

If you want to learn HOW TO DO this, just watch to video below where Pastor Derek explains it! 

Bible Lesson :  

Genesis 24:27

Abraham's servant finding the wife for Isaac

It would be really hard to accomplish a job like this servant was given without guidance from God.  When this servant prays and sets up specific things that must happen for him to know who the right woman to marry Isaac would be, he is really creating a map to the 'treasure' he is in search of.  God has the treasures out there for us, we just need to be sensitive to His voice to understand when they are ours or for someone else! Read His Word, the Bible, The true 'map' to heaven that guides us to Christ and salvation!

Memory Verse :

1 Chronicles 28:9

New International Version (NIV)

“And you, my son Solomon, acknowledge the God of your father, and serve him with wholehearted devotion and with a willing mind, for the Lord searches every heart and understands every desire and every thought. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will reject you forever.

Doe Doe and The Hidden Card (An Object Lesson About On Needing A Map) :

Doe Doe shows the Lakewood Kids how hard it is to find something when you do not nave a map, instructions to follow!

Bible Lesson : 

Acts 8:9-25

 

Simon the Sorcerer Tries To Buy The Holy Spirit

When we have no map, nothing helping to guide us to our treasure, it is very easy to get and be lost.  In the movie Jim is making bad decisions and getting into trouble, and Simon has no idea how the Holy Spirit works and decides that buying it is the best plan.  Each of their decisions will likely lead them to death. Peter is gracious and truthful enough to inform Simon of his mistake as well as the possible repercussions and calling for him to repent, but without that 'piece of a may' Simon would have been lost again.  Let us trust in the words of David to his son Solomon that if we are in search of the Lord we WILL find Him.  This assures us that no matter how unprepared we are, if we just have the desire to search for Him, we will be given everything needed to find Him!
