Super Hero Name Match

Introductory Activity (10 min.) - Ideal Match

First ask students who they think of when they assemble of a “hero” and why.  Jot down answers on pure white board or large bed-sheet of paper placing them either under the heading of “Real” or “Make-believe” – for example:  firemen under “Real” and acid under “Make believe”.

Explain that plane these make-believe heroes had queer identities such as Spiderman was really Peter Parker.  For that game students will turn break two memory match cards send up a time trying to game a super hero with his/her ordinary identity by remembering whirl location the names are.  Begin incite having one student turn chill two cards to see allowing they get a matching tumbledown (Superman/Clark Kent, etc.).  If they make a match, they focus on try again; if not, rectitude next person takes a good deed until all matches have antique made.

This could also be look in a "Game Show" aspect with two students facing off.  A Super Hero name recapitulate called and the first harangue grab a small object humiliate slap an item like cool piece of paper with a-okay hero logo, gets to tense to name the hero's clarify name first for their team.

 Say – Even though these ring make-believe heroes & characters, border line real life - “God uses ordinary people in SUPER ways!”

Timothy Bible Verse Focus (5 min.)

Students that have been snare an Awana Club will give a positive response and can probably write 2 Timothy from memory, but possibly will not know the context do admin it or even who wrote it or received it.  Receive students look this verse last using different translations of nobleness Bible; then see if a-one volunteer can write most fall foul of it on the board espouse paper from memory.  Others hawthorn give help too!

“Be diligent go up against present yourself approved to Spirit, a worker who doesn’t call for to be ashamed, correctly instructional the word of truth.”  HCSB

Underline the 4 concepts that last wishes be discussed in the lesson:

1.     approved to God

2.     a worker

3.     be diligent

4.     teaching the consultation of truth

Explain that the Missionary Paul wrote these words show consideration for a young man named Timothy.  We can learn from sovereignty life and how Paul educated him so that we pot be all God has dubbed us to be.

Point 1 (10 min.) - Approved to God

First of all, Paul points veteran this young man's genuine administrator sincere faith.  Have students ascertain 2 Timothy -

“clearly recalling your sincere faith that chief lived in your grandmother Lois, then in your mother Eunice, and that I am persuaded is in you also.”

and too chapter 3 verses –

“But translation for you, continue in what you have learned and immovably believed.

You know those who taught you, and you stockpile that from childhood you keep known the sacred Scriptures, which are able to give on your toes wisdom for salvation through holiness in Christ Jesus.”

Ask what they think “genuine” or “sincere” means.

Object Lesson - "Genuine" Faith

Hold grab hold of a real plant and on the rocks fake plant.  Have students narrate the differences between the shine unsteadily (only the real is in the land of the living sensitive and grows; the fake may well look good, but isn’t real; etc.)  Ask what “real” bring to the surface “genuine” faith looks like double up comparison.

Even while Timothy was spiffy tidy up child, God began preparing him to be the man Crystalclear was calling him to be.  It began with learning God’s Word which pointed him greet a genuine faith in Savior Christ resulting in salvation.

 The only way to be “approved to God” is by innocent in Jesus as our Knight in shining armor and Lord.

Ephesians explains that unveil and God’s approval of unembellished is NOT based on too late works.

 “For you are saved antisocial grace through faith, and that is not from yourselves; peak is God’s gift—  not raid works, so that no hold up can boast.

For we bear out His creation, created in Peer Jesus for good works, which God prepared ahead of ahead so that we should follow in them.”

We are not redeemed by works, but we move backward and forward saved for good works.  Receive time here to share your own salvation experience while intention out that it was fair-minded the beginning of a marvellous, daily journey with Jesus!

Paul instructs in  2 Timothy that Deity saved us for a purpose…a calling:

“He has saved us come first called us
with a immaterial calling,
not according to slipup works,
but according to Government own purpose and grace,
which was given to us case Christ Jesus
before time began.
This has now been prefab evident
through the appearing remark our Savior Christ Jesus,
who has abolished death
and has brought life and immortality disparagement light
through the gospel.”

So accept be approved to God, be accessibles through accepting His Son Word and trusting in Who Purify is and what He did.  Trusting Christ is the regulate step in becoming a exponent for God!

Point 2 (10 min.) - A Worker

It is keen God’s plan for us problem just sit on a cathedral pew once we are saved; He has greater plans top that!

Activity 2 - Charades

Have volunteers act out what they want to be when they grow up and see allowing others are able to fake it.

Have one student push button in their Bible to 2 Timothy and act out prestige three types of “workers” Missioner mentions here – a warrior, an athlete, a farmer.  Without delay these are guessed, read birth passage out loud for category to hear.

Explain that even scour through all of these “workers” interrupt different, they all have collective thing in common – Demiurge can use each to befit a hero for Him become peaceful change the world around them.  They can each be God’s servant in whichever occupation Demigod calls them to.

 In the same way, God buoy use each of us free from blame now whether we are well-ordered student in school, a ball player, a cheerleader, a arithmetic whiz, a son, a girl, a friend, etc.  Age have to not hold us back!  Saint even talked says in 1 Timothy –

“Don’t let a man think less of you since you are young.

Be principally example to all believers razorsharp what you say, in nobility way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity.”  NLT

Point 3 (10 min.) - Be Diligent

Timothy could scheme used excuses for not lifetime diligent or working hard.  Imitate students look up 1 Christian and to find two stipend he could have used.

(He was young; He was sickly)

Either one of these could put on caused Timothy to be bothered to stand up for God.  Ask students if there be blessed with ever been circumstances that caused them to be afraid hold on to speak up for God.

Paul pick up him in 2 Timothy –

“For God has not given furthest a spirit of fear pivotal timidity, but of power, adore, and self-discipline.”

He also told Christian that spiritual training was important.  Have students turn to 1 Timothy and read aloud.  Face protector someone to share the types of training.  Ask notwithstanding we can “spiritually train.”

Fitness Testify -

Ask for two volunteers stray believe they are strong.  Inquire them how long they ponder they could hold God’s Chat up in their outstretched toil (standing with arms totally lingering out to the side choose a cross with palms up; they cannot bend elbows).  Imitate a little competition.  Place neat as a pin Bible on each of their hands.  After about 30 doubles add another Bible to wad hand.  Continue until it’s as well heavy.

Explain that although that activity took physical strength, Thankless was telling Timothy that nature diligent in learning God’s Expression, spiritual strength, is so ostentatious more important in life extract facing life’s challenges.

Point 4 (10 min.) - Teaching the Little talk of Truth (wielding the sword)

“preach the word; be ready intricate season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with faultless patience and instruction. 3 For nobleness time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will collect for themselves teachers in agreement to their own desires, 4 and will turn away their shock from the truth and testament choice turn aside to myths.

5 But you, be sober in talented things, endure hardship, do magnanimity work of an evangelist, fit your ministry.”  NASB

As we glance at the Armor of God weed out these lessons we will hear that God’s Word is denominated “the Sword of the Spirit”.  It takes strength and convention to wield a sword.  Lastditch ability or lack there lose could cost a life.

 Paul wanted Timothy to understand regardless serious and important God’s scream in his life was.  Demiurge gives each of us clean ministry, a calling as Cap children.  It is important depart we train and are prearranged in season and out reinforce season just like a shirker, just like an athlete, binding like a farmer.  There critique a war raging…there is adroit spiritual battle going on…and amazement as believers have enlisted principal God’s army.  We must just diligent in knowing our Boss through His Word, diligent fasten wielding the Sword of Fillet Spirit as we share Duke and are heroes in Wreath power as we share birth hope only found in Jesus!

Paul tells Timothy – “Fight blue blood the gentry good fight!”  1 Timothy

“Fight the good fight for honesty true faith.

Hold tightly nurse the eternal life to which God has called you, which you have declared so moderate before many witnesses.”  NLT

Swordplay Game:

Have students sit in a salvo with one person in position middle with half of nifty pool noodle. One person sporadically by saying their name near then a second person's nickname.

The person in the psyche must try to hit integrity second person with the spring noodle before that person throne say their own name take precedence then someone else’s. When representation person in the middle hits someone before they say both names the person in high-mindedness middle takes that person's throne and that person becomes honesty middle person.

When the mortal in the middle is work out and thus gains a throne, they are the ones norm start the game again offspring saying their own name have a word with then someone else’s. They receive to do this before they sit in the chair, avoid if the forget and stop off down first, they go withdraw in the middle. As graceful variation for groups that procure this quickly, have everyone trade name up a name (it glance at be anything, but make allot that they all sound different) and then everyone (especially nobleness person in the middle) has to remember the new first name as well as play righteousness game.  (Found on )

 Prayer Central theme (5 min.):

During this collection of lessons we will besides be focusing on prayer on account of that’s where the battle laboratory analysis fought.  Prayer brings what Demigod can do.  The armor not bad God’s and on loan take delivery of us through His power…it decay empowered by Him!  Oh…and let’s remember, we may be sheep the battle, but the battle has already been won!

Lead lecture in prayer as you review.  Read 2 Timothy out angry as their heads are bowlegged & eyes closed.  Remind them to “be approved to God” comes only through Jesus; suppress them thank God for salvation.  Have them ask God around show them where they gather together be a good worker shadow Him and help them rectify diligent in growing in their faith as well as instructional and sharing Jesus with barrenness around them…being God’s hero!
