MEMORY VERSE:
Psalm 119:11 "I hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you."
FIRST THINGS FIRST
Scripture: Matthew 6:33 - “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”
When we seek God first above everything else, He will provide us with everything we need.
FIERCE COMPETITION
Scripture: Psalm 56:3: “When I’m afraid, I put my trust in you.”
Sometimes we can let our fears overwhelm us. Fear competes with us for control of
what we do, say, and think. The Bible instructs us to put our trust in God. With God in
the picture, fear is defeated. No contest!
WINNER
Scripture: Philippians 4:4: “Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!”
We win some; we lose some. But those who chose joy always win! Whether times are
hard, or things are going great, those who have Jesus can have a joy that never fades.
THE RIGHT ANSWER
Scripture: Proverbs 3:5-6: “5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”
Sometimes we aren’t sure which is the right way to go, or the right thing to do. But the
Bible assures us that if we put our trust in God – rather than trust in our own strength –
He will make the way straight for us.
LIFELINE
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 10:13: “ No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful,
who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape,
that you may be able to bear it.”
Things get overwhelming sometimes. We can’t get by on our own strength. The Bible
tells us that when we are tempted to sin, we should seek God’s help. He will never let
us down.
THE ULTIMATE PRIZE
Scripture: John 3:16: “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish
but have eternal life.”
Game show contestants compete for cash, cars, vacations, and various other prizes.
God offers us the greatest prize we could ever receive. He sent His Son to die for us;
Jesus offers us forgiveness and the chance to live forever with Him.
BONUS ROUND, PART 1
Scripture: Mark 12:30: “‘ Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength..’”
People would often come up to Jesus and quiz Him as if He were on a game show.
One time, someone asked what the greatest commandment was. In his answer, Jesus
teaches us the importance of loving God with everything we have.
BONUS ROUND, PART 2
Scripture: Mark 12:31: “The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.”
Last week, Jesus was asked the question as to the greatest commandment. Jesus instructed us to love God with everything we have.
But He didn’t stop there. Jesus said it is also important for us to show God’s love to each other. When we love other people,
we are showing our love to God at the same time.
