This cool sports-themed series will teach how to be a Game Changer for the Kingdom of God. Just as there are pivotal moments or ‘plays’ in every ball game that can swing the outcome, there are Game Changing moments in our lives that can result in great victories for God. The bible is also full of game changing moments, made by regular guys and ladies, which resulted in unthinkable wins for the Kingdom. This lesson will teach kids that there will be many opportunities in their own life to make a ‘play’ or to ‘do something’ that will have a huge, positive impact, on their life and the life of others. But it will take courage and confidence in God to make the big ‘play’.
Theme Verse for series: This is what will make you successful; following the directions and doing the things that God commanded……….. Have Courage! Take charge! Don't be timid; don't hold back. 1 Chronicles 22:13 (msg).
