Heroes of Mega City Week # 2

Lesson Goal:  Children will learn that God wants them to tell the truth.

Main Point:  Heroes Tell the Truth!

Bible Verse:  “Instead, we will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ. Ephesians 4:15a (NLT)

Our goal this week was for your child to know that, just like the people in this week’s Bible stories, they can choose every day to tell the truth even if sometimes it’s hard for them. Telling the truth is one way that they can be one of God’s super heroes.

On stage, we told the stories of David and the prophet Nathan, Balaam and his refusal to curse the Israelites, and the prophet Micaiah who told the truth to King Ahab. In each story we talked about how each person had to overcome the fear of confronting someone with the truth and, though it didn’t always end well, it was still something that God wanted them to do.

During our large group skit, your children continued the story of Kabaam and Pow and their attempt to make it through Hero Training to become super heroes. This week, Kabaam and Pow were given the task of cleaning a room. Along the way, they dropped a box marked “Fragile” and broke what was inside. Knowing they would get in trouble if they were caught, Pow toyed with the idea of lying to stay out of trouble. In the end, Kabaam decided to tell the truth and passed the challenge of honesty. Pow did not pass the challenge because he wanted to lie. We want your children to grow in the character trait of honesty.

Our Bible stories, skit and small group activities were geared toward showing your child that God thinks it is important for His children to have the character trait of telling the truth.
