Making God's Word Personal

Topics: Believing, Bible

What you do:   Say, “This week we have an assignment that we want you to do that will help you learn more about what God’s word says about His just nature.”

Pass out assignment and review instructions with students. Once completed, ask the children if it made them think any differently about the passage once they personalized it with their own names. Ask them to review and think about what the scriptures are telling them throughout the week.

 Directions:

1. Read verse # 1 as it appears in the Bible.

2. Personalize the verse by writing your name in the blank spaces of the second paragraph.

3. Read the new verse as it applies to you.

4. Do the same thing with verse #2.
