Lesson Goal: The children will learn that God wants them to do what they say they will do.

Main Point: Heroes Do What They Say They Will Do.

Bible Verse: But if you fail to keep your word, then you will have sinned against the Lord, and you may be sure that your sin will find you out. Numbers 32:23 (NLT)

Pow and Kabaam had their work cut out for them this week. Kabaam volunteered to go into the sewers to face the threat of two villains: Ratboy and The Sludge. Pow volunteered to help. However, on three seperate occasions, Pow failed to follow Kabaam into the sewer to help. As a result, Kabaam got beat up and eventually got captured. The hero instructor, Ol' Reliable, a famous superhero sidekick, explained to Pow the importance of always doing what you say you are going to do. He went on to explain this point through a Bible story about a young woman named Ruth. Ruth was the daughter-in-law of a woman named Naomi. Ruth's husband died and Naomi was going to travel back to her homeland alone. Ruth vowed to stay with Naomi and to take care of her even though that meant traveling far away from her home. It wasn't easy and Ruth had to work very hard, but because Ruth was dependable Naomi was taken care of. Eventually a man named Boaz noticed Ruth and how hard she worked to help Naomi. He married her and the family was able to continue.

Dependability is an important quality for your children to possess. It was our desire to make sure that your child left today knowing how important it is to always do what you say you're going to do.

1) Think (Think before you open your mouth and commit to do something)

2) Blink (Don't waste time...get started with what you say you will do in a "blink" of the eye)

3) Shrink (Don't let your commitment "shrink" by slowing down or stopping when things get hard)
