Cooee Kid’s Catch Up #6

The first new lesson is hot off the press; however, the other two were ideas I’d been dwelling on for a long time, and finally, it was time to get them written!   

3 New Bible Lessons!

Kingdom Keys    

It’s exasperating to be locked out of your house, car or computer. All you want to do is gain access! This lesson teaches children about the Keys to the Kingdom that Jesus gave Peter.  The keys that unlocked salvation and healing for everyone!

Bible Lesson: Jesus Gives Peter the Keys to the Kingdom

Ministry to the Children: The Kingdom of Heaven has been opened to you if you believe that Jesus is your Saviour!

Memory Verse: Use any number of methods to ‘unlock’ the Memory Verse from Matthew 16:19. “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven.”

The Devil is a Hacker!

This lesson alerts children to the fact that the devil intends to harm people in any way he can because he knows how much God loves them. The Bible story about Judas is an example of someone whose thoughts and heart desires led them to sin. It is suitable for upper-primary-aged children and teenagers.

Bible Lesson:  The Last Supper

Ministry to the Children: The devil is a hacker who wants to kill and destroy, but Jesus came so that you could have life and have it abundantly.

This lesson introduces children to the Gifts of the Holy Spirit and explains what the Gifts are and who they are for.

A way to love people is to value the Gifts of the Holy Spirit and to actively seek them, and to use them to the Glory of God!
