JUNIOR HIGH SUNDAY SCHOOL

Today, we talked about how God is like a potter. Our memory verse for the week is Isaiah 64:8, "Yet, O Lord, you are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand." We also made a plan to influence others in a positive way in the spirit of being molded by God and helping to mold others towards God and to doing good stuff.

Our end of the school year event will be on Friday June 12 at the TMC.

5 MINUTE DEVOTIONS

Proverbs 13:4 - The sluggard craves and gets nothing, but the desires of the diligent are fully satisfied.

There is no doubt about it. Giving your best in life will take you a long way in satisfying your desires. God is like that! What word describes you best lately - sluggard or diligent?

JUNIOR HIGH SUNDAY SCHOOL

Today, our lesson is on how "God is Like a Rock." We want to understand this as well as make a plan to be like a rock by growing in integrity and taking steps to correct a time when we were untrustworthy.

Our memory verse is Psalm 61:2 - From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

Classroom activities include: Rock war, TV commercials and an integrity check.

5 MINUTE DEVOTIONS

Matthew 6:25-26 - "That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life - whether you will have enough food or drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn't life more than food, and your body more than clothing? Look at the birds. They don't plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your Heavenly Father feeds them. And aren't you far more valuable to Him than they are?"

How much do you worry? What things do you worry about most?

Many people struggle to discover their unique purpose for which they are made. Somewhere between our circumstances and our choices, we usually discover our purpose in life. The secret to finding purpose is using what we've been give to serve God and benefit others.
The book of Esther teaches us that the greatest purpose for our lives is found right in the middle of our circumstances. But it may take great courage to live it out.

DEEP THOUGHTS

God wants greatness of soul - people who will endure, wrestle, persevere, refuse to quit, and cling to his goodness even when there is much they can't see clearly - John Ortberg.
