Kidmin Drawing Board: CHASE THE LION (Series concept)

This is a three part children’s church sermon series loosely inspired by Mark Batterson’s book In A Pit With A Lion On A Snowy Day as well as his Bible study book for young adults entitled Chase The Lion. The objective of the series is to teach children to be bold and fearless in the face of the enemy. 1 Peter 5:8 says Satan “prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.” Satan roars the loudest when are closest to our greatest God given blessings and opportunities. During this series, the kids will learn two important lessons. From Daniel’s terrifying experience in the lions' den, they will learn to have faith that God will protect them and deliver them. Just as he shut the lions' mouths in the den, He also shuts Satan’s mouth when he starts roaring. From Benaiah’s experience in the pit with the lion, they will learn how God gives us the strength and boldness to chase down and defeat even our greatest fears.

This series is "on the drawing board".  We have it, along with a few other ideas, on our drawing board prayerfully considering them all.  If we end up using the series, I will try my best to post at least one sermon or order of service along with game and craft ideas.  I am a full time college student and my husband works full time so keeping the blog updated is unfortunately quite difficult at times.  I hope you all have been able to use our ideas in part or completely.  The goal of this blog is to give other struggling children's pastors with small budgets inspiration for cheap but meaningful series and lessons to teach the kids in your church.
