Parents, pray using the “repeat after me” method, praying each line and pausing at each slash, allowing your child to say it back to you.

Grades 1-4

Lesson Goal: I understand that I am a child of God but am also a sinner in need of a Savior.

Discuss: What lie did the devil tell Adam and Eve, and what did Adam and Eve do? (The devil twisted God’s words and made them believe it was okay to eat from the tree in the middle of the garden, the tree of knowledge of good and evil. They ate the fruit – the first sin – causing sin to fill the world for the rest of humanity.)

Prayer: Thank You, heavenly Father, for sending a Savior, Jesus, to rescue us from our sin. Help us to share that Good News of Jesus with others. In Your name we pray. Amen.

Grades 5-12

Lesson Goal: I can explain that humans are God’s special creation, born into sin and in need of a Savior.

Discuss: How does the devil tempt you? What are some ways that you can fight the lies and temptations of the devil?

Prayer: Good and gracious God, We are sorry for the times that we have messed up and fallen into the temptations of the devil. Help us trust in You and follow Your way of truth. Thank You for sending Your Son to die on the cross so that we have the promise of eternal life. In Your name we pray, Amen.
