“A MARVEL-OUS TEAM”
This lesson will be comparing the
assembly of the Avengers based on their gifts and abilities to the assembly of
the body of Christ according to our gifts and abilities by discussing Jesus’
selection of the twelve disciples.
Power verse: “You are the
body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.” – 1 Corinthians 12:27
(NIV)
Games: “Tug-a-war” – if we have enough kids, we will divide
up and play tug-a-war inside or outside.
OR
“Building
Jump” – decorate boxes of varying sizes to represent buildings. Kids divide into two teams and have to race
through an obstacle course without knocking over any buildings. After all teammates have ran through once,
whichever team has the most buildings still standing wins.
“SUPER ARMOR”
Ironman wears a physical armor, but
in this lesson, we will learn about an impenetrable spiritual armor God has for
each of us to wear in our battle against the evils of this world.
Power verse: “Put on the
full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s
schemes.” – Ephesians 6:11 (NIV)
Game: “Armor Race” – kids divide into two teams. Team members race to help one of their
teammates put on his/her whole armor before the other team gets their armor on.
“HIS WARRIORS”
Just as little Steven Rogers is
transformed into a mighty warrior, this lesson illustrates how God can
transform us and use us despite our weaknesses just as he used little David to
defeat giant Goliath.
Power verse: “Fight the
good fight of faith.” – 1 Timothy 6:12 (NIV)
Game: Armed with the cardboard Captain America shields
left over from last week’s game, two volunteers will compete to hit one another
with foam balls. The shields will be used
to deflect the balls. Whoever has been
hit the least amount of times after the clock runs out wins. OR:
Two adult leaders could dress in the shields and two kid volunteers can
try to hit them with foam balls.
Whichever kid hits their adult leader the most times before the clock
runs out wins.
“SUPER STRENGTH”
This lesson will parallel the
Incredible Hulks super strength with Samson’s super strength and discuss how we
shouldn’t take our blessings for granted.
Power verse: “Be strong in
the Lord and in his mighty power.” – Ephesians 6:10 (NIV)
Game: “Super Strength Challenge”
Use two large
cardboard boxes to make fake buildings.
Cut large squares out of box for “windows” and tape construction paper
inside the squares. Two kids will
compete to see who can knock the most windows out of the building before the
clock runs out. (Each window that is
knocked out represents one person they are able to “rescue”.)
“THE BRIGHT LIGHT”
Just as the people of Gotham needed
a hero to come and protect them and take care of them, we too need a hero. God sent His only son JESUS to be our
savior. He is truly the greatest
superhero in the world! There is no one
like him! This lesson will teach us that
while comic book heroes aren’t real, we have a real superhero we can count on
to be there to rescue us every day: JESUS!!!
Power Verse: “He said, ‘I
am the light of the world. Whoever
follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life’.” –
John 8:12
“BRIGHT LIGHT RISES”
It has been two thousand years since
Jesus died on the cross for our sins, rose from the dead, and returned to sit
beside our father in Heaven. Don’t
worry, a day is soon approaching, when God can no longer bare to see the sin
and evil of this world, and He’s going to send Jesus back to get us. When they day comes, we’ll meet Him in the
sky and He’ll lead us to our eternal Heavenly home. We have to be alert and ready because we
don’t want to be left behind! This
lesson will give a positive hopeful message during the Halloween season when
fear and death seem to be glorified.
Power verse: “Jesus who has
been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen
him go into heaven.” – Acts 1:11
