Forgiveness (Part 2)
The Healing Power of Letting Go

Forgiveness Part 2
Open Lesson Plan → Open Handout →

Forgiveness, what does this word mean to you? In human life, forgiveness is an action that we need many times. We need the forgiveness of God and others, and we need to forgive those who wrong us. We all desire forgiveness when we stumble, but do we offer it just as freely?

You cannot harbor feelings of anger, pain, and bitterness and still possess a merry heart. Medical research shows that unforgiveness produces toxic emotions that hurt our minds and physical bodies. In Christ, we are called to release grievances and walk in freedom.

GOD Bless You All. : )

David: Facing the Danger
Lesson 1: A Good Shepherd (by Lisa DeVinney)

David the Good Shepherd
Open Lesson Plan → Open Handout → More Grade 3–6 Lessons →

If there were a poll taken asking for favorite Bible heroes, nearly every list would include David, the shepherd boy who became king. This week begins a new series on this hero who, time after time, stood bravely in the face of danger, trusting the Lord to deliver him. We begin with David the shepherd boy, who shows what it means to be a good shepherd — and in doing so gives us a picture of Jesus, our Good Shepherd.

Fill in the Blanks:
  1. Samuel came to Bethlehem to anoint the next ____________________ of Israel.
  2. Jesse sent David to check on his ____________________ at the battle front.
  3. A giant named ____________________ challenged the army of Israel to fight him.

True or False:
  1. Jesse guessed right away that David was the son Samuel was looking for.
  2. When David was a shepherd, God had helped him kill a bear and a lion.
  3. David assumed that God would help him if he fought against Goliath.
  4. A good shepherd stays with his sheep only as long as everything is going well.
  5. Jesus called Himself “the good shepherd.”

Blessed Are the Peacemakers
By Julie Pisacane

Peacemakers
Open Lesson Plan → Open Handout →

Open With Prayer: Start with a prayer to God asking Him to help us be instruments of peace in His hands. May He use us to bring the peace of Christ to others through our actions and prayers.

Poem: Heartfelt Peace

Peace is a moment reflected upon,
Dreams and visions start to unfurl.
Peace today is harder to find,
As we labor away to find this pearl.

Pray for all people to join together,
Rejoicing and living in sweet harmony.
Battles and wars are erased forever;
Celebrations are heard over land and sea.

One by one this job can be done;
Pray for guidance each day.
Peace is music that can be heard;
Peace is God's chosen way.
