Lesson 15

Commitment

February 11, 2025

Commitment

Most of us are acquainted with mouth-sizzling hot sauce, especially those of us who like Mexican food. Now listen to this: God loves hot sauce, and wants us to be like it. You see, tasteless, fizzles, cold Christianity makes God sick. He just can’t stand it. In fact, he’d rather you be ice cold any day instead of lukewarm every day. Don’t be distasteful to God. Tickle His taste buds by being a faithful follower of Jesus each day. Make a commitment today to trust in Jesus alone as Savior and Lord! Being Hot Sauce for the One True Boss of the entire universe is the only cool way to live!

^Commitment

Our Gospel Hand

We have officially learned all five fingers of our gospel hand, and we learned all of the verses and illustrations that we will use to share the gospel with others. When we share the gospel with someone, we do it in hopes that they will respond by making a commitment to Jesus.

What does Commitment mean?

A commitmentmeans making a decision and following through. Just hearing the Gospel does notautomatically mean we have received the gift of eternal life. We have to makethe decision that we believe what we’ve heard, and we also need to choose totrust in Jesus alone. Commitment is from the heart and lasts forever. Acommitment involves more than just the mind - it is not just knowing somethingin your head. A commitment involves your heart - that deep, real, inner part ofus. A commitment is longer than just for a moment - it’s not just temporary. Acommitment lasts. When we make a commitment of our lives to Jesus, we trust inJesus alone as Savior and Lord. AsSavior, Jesus saves us from thepunishment of our sin. His perfect life and sacrifice on the cross paid for oursins. We can receive the gift of eternal life by trusting in Jesus. As Lord, Jesus calls us to follow Him. He becomes the leader of ourlife. We seek to do what God wants us to do, and we trust that God has aperfect plan for our life!

Revelation 3:20a

“Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in…” Revelation 3:20a

Jesus is alive and has promised to come into the life of anyone who trusts in Him. He’s done everything to show us that He loves us, and now He stands at the door of our hearts and knocks hoping we will let Him in. He won’t force Himself; He wants to be invited in. Have you invited Jesus into your heart? Have you made a commitment to trust in Jesus alone as Savior and Lord? If you haven’t, who are you trusting in to save you?

Lesson 12

Jesus Part 1

January 20, 2025

Jesus

The Bible is one huge picture-book story about the glory of God. It paints picture after picture of the great things God did to bring glory to His name. To give someone glory simply means to bring honor to that person. When we follow God’s ways, we honor Him and give Him glory. But the greatest picture-book story about the glory of God is Jesus. Everything He said and did while He lived on earth is a perfect picture of the one true God-because Jesus is God! Would you like to get to know God better? If so, just keep reading His book and following the pictures. Jesus is the Picture Book Story of God’s Amazing Glory!

Lesson 14

Faith

February 4, 2025

Faith

Life is like the game of baseball. The goal is to get around all the bases and score a run. But every batter is up against nine players on the opposite team who will try hard to get him or her out. When Paul and Silas talked to believers, they reminded everyone that life, like baseball, is full of opposition. If you’re going through a difficult time, God hasn’t left you. In fact, it’s a sure sign that He loves you. Huh? You see, God allows all the players on His team to go through hard times. This is so we will learn to depend on His grace – His kindness and help – to get us from base to base. Receive God’s grace. It’s the only way to get to home base (Heaven). For by Grace I am saved through Faith. I Need Grace to Reach Home Base!

God

After you do something that isn’t right, do you wonder if you’re still a member of God’s family? Everyone who believes in Jesus needs to know that Satan can’t pull you away from your forever family. No one, no how, no way can separate you from the love of God. Not even your own sin. Before you placed your faith in Christ, you were like a kite on the ground with no strength to fly. Then it was as if Jesus picked you up, tied a long unbreakable string around your heart, and set you aloft. He’ll never let you go. He permanently holds you tight. So enjoy the flight. You’re on your way up, up, up to heaven, and that’s worth hollering about with everything you’ve got. God’s Love Holds Me Tight Like a Kite! He Will Never Let Go!

But there is something much more important than soccer or piano. As you get older, you’re going to get asked questions about what you believe. You will meet people who just want to know more because they are actually curious. And you’ll also meet some people who don’t believe what you believe. They don’t believe that Jesus ever existed or that the Bible is true. These people may ask questions to try to challenge your faith. Let’s get ready to talk about Jesus and the hope that you have! When people ask you why you are happy or why you do good things, be ready to tell them all about Jesus.
