…”And forgive us our debts,
As we forgive our debtors.
And do not lead us into temptation,
But deliver us from the evil one.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.” Matthew 6:9-13
The LORD knows us better than even we know ourselves. Remember how He knew Peter’s weakness and counseled that he pray that he would not fall into temptation? He counsels us to do the same. In this PowerPoint presentation we look at what temptation means and how to avoid falling into sin. The best news is that Jesus is victorious and with Him, we are winners too!
Greed or Generosity? Preparation: Have 2 buckets, as pictured above, attached to the ceiling or high place by their handles. The handles should be large enough to allow the bucket to tip over. Bucket 1 has ping pong balls and a string with a dollar bill attached. Bucket 2 is filled with dollar bills, stickers, etc. (enough for everyone in your class) and has a heart attached to the pull string. The pull strings are attached to the edge of the buckets. The first volunteer should ‘choose’ greed as represented by the rolled up dollar bill. When they pull on the string they get the dollar and are pelted with ping pong balls – hailstones. The second volunteer should choose ‘generosity’ and the kingdom of God (love, righteousness, compassion, etc.) When they pull on the string and the bucket tips, they are pelted with dollar bills, stickers, and whatever other light, gentle items that you have put in the bucket.
