Every night people tune into the evening news to hear the latest, breaking news from around the

world. But no story is more important than the story of Jesus' resurrection. Although it happened

2,000 years ago, it's still the all-time top story.

MEMORY VERSE: 

He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation."

Mark 16:15 (NIV)

TOP STORY

Scripture: Matthew 26:36-56; Jesus Arrested

"Our top story tonight" God loves us so much that he sent his son to die for us

BREAKING NEWS

Scripture: Matthew 27:45-54; The Death of Jesus

"We interrupt your regular program for this breaking news." Jesus did the unthinkable,

suffering the death that we deserved, so that we could be forgiven of our sins.

LIVE ON THE SCENE

Scripture: Matthew28:1-10; The Resurrection

"We take you now, live on the scene." The women went to the tomb expecting to see a dead body.

Instead they found Jesus, alive with resurrection power.

MAN ON THE STREET

Scripture: Matthew 28:16-20; The Great Commission

"Let's hear what people are saying from our man on the street." The good news of Jesus' death and

resurrection is too great to keep to ourselves. Jesus wants us to go throughout the world, telling

others about him.

LIE DETECTOR

There are lies going around today that sound good, but are really leading people away from the

truth. However, if we look to Scripture we'll find reasons to believe the Bible and how to do

things God's way

MEMORY VERSE: 

"All Scripture is God - breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in

righteousness" - 2 Timothy 3:16 (NIV)

YOU ARE NUMBER ONE

Scripture: Mark 9:33-35; Who is the Greatest

This big lie tells us we should put ourselves first. Get ahead at all costs. Look out for number one,

and number one is you. But Jesus teaches us that we are to be last and a servant to all

OBJECTIVE: Kids will learn that God wants us to put others first

THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS RIGHT AND WRONG

Scripture: 2 Timothy 3; Follow the Bible and Not the World

One of the biggest lies told today is that there's no such thing as right or wrong. There are no

absolutes. That can't be true because "There are no absolutes" is itself an absolute statement!

The Bible teaches us there is absolute truth, God's Truth, as well as right and wrong.

OBJECTIVE: Kids will learn that the Bible, God's Word, is the source of absolute truth and teaches

right and wrong

THE BIBLE IS A MYTH

Scripture: Matthew 27:11-26; Jesus Before Pilate

This big lie tells us the Bible is a myth or a fairy tale. There's not only Biblical evidence to show

the Bible is true, there is archaeological evidence to back up the Bible. It is a book rooted in real

history that teaches us who we are and what God has done for us!

OBJECTIVE: Kids will learn the Bible is a true book of history as well as revelation about God

THERE'S MORE THAN ONE WAY TO HEAVEN

Scripture: John 14:5-6; Jesus is the only Way

This big lie says that all religions are the same, they all lead to the same place and that there many

ways to be saved. This lie is as dangerous as telling a driver they can drive on whichever side of the road

they want. That's a great way to have a head on collision! Jesus says He is the ONLY way to be saved.

Only by believing in Jesus can we get to Heaven. To tell someone otherwise is not being "tolerant" or

"kind", it's actually one of the most unloving things you can do.

OBJECTIVE: Kids will learn Jesus is the only way to be saved
