May 2018, Week 4 Bible Story Outline, K-3
Bible Story Outline Clean Your Hard Drive (Confession / Being Honest with God) • 1 John 1:9 SETTING UP THE STORY • Have you ever thought about how different God is from us? • God is perfect • We can try our best to be like God and follow His example, but we aren’t perfect • God sent us His one and only Son, Jesus, so that we could be in His family forever, no matter what we do • One of the most important things we can do in our faith is to talk to God LETTER • Sit in the first chair and pretend to write a letter • A long time ago, one of the only ways to communicate to people you didn’t see in person was to write them a letter • Then you’d have to figure out a way to get that letter to the person you wanted it sent to • Fold letter, put it in envelope, pretend to address, add stamp • Imagine what it would be like to have to wait WEEKS to tell your best friend something • If we’re not careful, we can do that with God • The longer we go, the harder it is to remember to talk to Him LANDLINE • Sit in the second chair behind the landline phone • Have you ever seen one of these? • Pick up the phone and put it to your ear • You’d have to memorize or write down someone’s phone number • You’d dial it on your phone (demonstrate), and you’d let it ring (SFX) • If the person was at home, they’d answer it • But if they were at the store, at work, or outside, they would miss the call • A landline phone is still better than writing a letter • We can act like God is a landline if we only talk to Him every now and then CELL PHONE • Sit in the third chair behind the smart phone • This is a cellular or mobile phone • These are the by far the quickest and easiest ways to talk to someone • You don’t even have to use your voice to talk (SFX) • You can read and send messages with the press of a finger (SFX) • We can talk to God like that—all the time • The more we talk to God, the easier it gets WRAPPING UP THE STORY • God wants us to talk to Him about everything • Read 1 John 1:9 • God wants us to be honest with Him; He wants us to confess things to Him • This verse says that God WILL forgive our sins • We can talk to God and know for sure that He’ll love us and help us • BL: Being truthful with God helps keep us close to Him.
