LCM Kids Online Lesson 11: Stories With Jesus (The Prodigal Son)

The Big Idea
God rejoices when we turn back to Him.

Key Bible Verse
“But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.”  Luke 15:32
(It would be good for parents to go through the bible verse with the kids before watching the Video Lesson, and have a little notebook or journal where children can copy down the verse/draw something related to it).

Faith And Its Hidden Dynamics

“If your brother or sister sins against you, rebuke them; and if they repent, forgive them. 4 Even if they sin against you seven times in a day and seven times come back to you saying ‘I repent,’ you must forgive them.” The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!” [Lk 17:3-5] Often, we are troubled by the gigantic tasks we’re called to do, and we know that we lack the faith to accomplish it. However, before one has faith, he needs to know that faith comes from the Word of God. A man with faith is a man having the word of God in him so much so that he is living in a state of constant spiritual conviction. That moment, the enabling power of God will compel him to do things beyond his inclination and ability. Therefore, it is not the quantity of our faith but God's initiative power and sovereignty that achieve the great and impossible things in our lives. So in the difficult process and impossible hurdles in life, don't feel crippled by your little faith. Use the little faith you have to look to God's power and truth. Our faith is not the condition required to achieve God’s purpose, instead, it is the conditions (big and small, good and bad) surrounding us, driving us God-relying and dependent on His grace that shape our faith.

“Turn Back To Jesus” Home Made Spinning Top

Materials needed:
White paper (thick), scissors, markers, colour pencils, toothpicks.

Instructions:
1. First, get your paper and draw out a few circles about half the size of your palm. If you find it hard, look for circle items in your house and trace it. Once done, cut the circles out.
2. Decorate your spinning top with the markers and colour pencils. To make it have a special colour changing effect, try drawing stripes of colours around the circle, like that.
3. On the other side of your circle, write the words “Turn Back To God”.
4. Grab your toothpicks (be careful as the toothpick can be pretty sharp), aim at the centre of your circle and poke it through slowly! 5. Now your spinning top is done! Try spinning them!
