Check List for Teachers

5/16/2010
Attention! All teachers and assistants: I need you to follow this check list as you lead students in your small
group. This will help us to better guide our students in their Bible-based fun activities. Please check this list as you direct your
kids… Thank you in advance for your help.
All classes:
_____ Greet your students as you take attendance.
(If they are newcomers, please add them on the list.)
• As parents come in to sign them out, try to get the missing information from their parents… ^^
_____ Pray!!!
_____ Lesson 45: Spirit Food
Power Point: God’s Spirit helps me to be more like Him.
Memory V.: God’s Spirit makes us loving, happy, peaceful, patient, kind, good, faithful, gentle, and self-
controlled. (Galatians 5:22-23)

Lesson overview
Thomas Paine said, “Reputation is what men and women think of us; character is what God and the angels know of
us.” Dwight L. Moody added, “Character is what you are in the dark.”
In this week’s lesson, you will be exploring the issues of character development and helping your kids realize that
they don’t have to develop their character alone. The Power Point says God’s Spirit helps me to be more like Him. This
week’s lesson is about how the Holy Spirit “makes us loving, happy, peaceful, patient, kind, good, faithful, gentle, and self-
controlled.” He empowers us to be men and women boys and girls, of character.
In fact, without the Holy Spirit in our lives, we can’t truly have character. John 15:5 says, “If you stay joined to
me, and I stay joined to you, then you will produce lots of fruit. But you cannot do anything without me.” To have true
character and reach the world with god’s love, we need Him alive and active in our lives. We need Him to guide us and to
mold us, to show us how to do what’s right-simply because it’s right.
This week as you teach about the fruit of the Spirit, focus not only on the fruit itself, but also on the One who helps
us develop it in our lives. Too many teenagers feel they are “alone in the crowd” when it comes to living right- and your
kids need to know before they hit their teenage years that they’re not alone. They have God on their side! And with the
Holy Spirit’s help, they’ll become the boys and girls of character who He has called them to be.

Going Deeper
Role-play problem situations with your kids and have them tell you which fruit of the Spirit they should use in
each situation, as well as how they should use it.

NEXT WEEK:
Lesson 46: Star Wars
Power Point: My fight is against spiritual forces.
Memory V.: We are fighting against forces and authorities and against rulers of darkness and powers in the spiritual world.
(Ephesians 6:12)

Lesson overview
In this world, our fight isn’t against flesh and blood. We are fighting against forces and authorities and against
rulers of darkness in the spiritual world” (Eph. 6:12). Our fight is against spiritual forces attitudes and strongholds. And
when faced with trouble, we know that it’s not flesh and blood that will help us out of it; it is Christ in us who gives us the
strength and the power to overcome the enemy. “Let the mighty strength of the Lord make you strong” (Eph. 6:10)
This week in KIDS Church, you have the opportunity to share with your kids that they are well-equipped by God
to face anything that may come their way. They have the full armor of God at their disposal so that they can defend
themselves and stand firm through any battle. (See Ephesians 6:13.) With the helmet of salvation, the breastplate of
righteousness, the belt of truth, feet ready with peace, the shield of faith, and the sword of the Spirit, God has given your
kids-even at their age-everything they need to defeat the civil one. More than anything, today is the perfect time to remind
them that when they are “clothed with Christ,” they are ready for battle-anytime, anyplace. (See Colossians 3:10)
Take time this week to break down the concepts of “God’s armor” and “being clothed with Christ” down to a
practical, everyday-living level. Help your kids see that play-yard skirmishes are not the real battles worth fighting in this
world. And in that spiritual world is where our fights take place. When your kids discover today’s Point, My fight is
against spiritual forces, their perspectives will be changed forever…and they will each truly become a force in this world!

Going deeper
Start a discussion with your kids about what the Bible means when it uses terms like “helmut of salvation” and
“breastplate of righteousness.” Talk about practical ways they can “put on” this armor. Make sure your kids understand that
though God is spiritual, our fight is never against Him; it’s against His enemies.
