PIF Kids Sermon
Sunday – 1/23/11
Learning to Follow Jesus
Attribute 2: Learn to listen
Step 3: Learn to see Jesus in scripture
Bible Memory Verse: Matthew 7:24-25
“Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.” – Matthew 7:24-25
Bible Story:
Micah 5:2 – Micah wrote this prophecy about 700 years before Jesus was born! God knows the future and through the bible, he often tells us about what will happen
“But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah,
though you are small among the clans of Judah,
out of you will come for me
one who will be ruler over Israel,
whose origins are from of old,
from ancient times.”
Isaiah 53 – This chapter is about Jesus. It describes his death and burial and explains that Jesus died for our sins. Isaiah wrote these words about 700 years before Jesus was even born! Only God could know ahead of time how Jesus would die. Prophecies like this one prove that the Bible really is the Word of God.
Isaiah 7:14 (Matthew 1:22-23) – The word Immanuel is a Hebrew name that means God is with us. It is used here to refer eventually to Jesus who would come to earth and truly be “God with us”

Bible Memory Verse: Matthew 7:24-25
“Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.” – Matthew 7:24-25
Bible Story: 2 Timothy 3:16-17
God-breathed means inspired by God. God communicated his message through the thoughts and vocabulary of the human writers. God directed the writer even in the selection of his words so that God’s intent and purpose come through. It’s amazing to realize that God has given us in writing his thoughts in human language.
TEACHING:
The Scripture helps you learn information about God and how to follow Jesus (teaching).
How can you follow Jesus if you don’t know what he needs?
You say “I love Jesus...” but is your life reflect Jesus?
Well you need to read the bible to see what Jesus say and he teaches us through the bible
REBUKING:
Rebuke means to correct in a sharp way. It will help you discover things you are doing that you need to do differently (rebuking)
Did you ever read the bible or hear a sermon and it’s like speaking to you directly?
And you said that’s me! For instance, you were reading about forgiving and there’s someone in your life that was hard for you to forgive.
You can also correct others by warning the person.
CORRECTING:
It will help you restore and reestablish your foundation so you can be who you were designed to be (correcting) It helps you to turn away from Sin and turn back to God.
TRAINING IN RIGHTEOUSNESS:
It will help train and discipline you to honor God with your life and actions (training in righteousness). The more you follow the bible and put it into practice…
God wants the best for you and he loves you with an everlasting love. There is nothing you can do to make God love you more or make him love you less. But God loves you too much to leave you where you are. He wants you to become all that he designed you to become.
You have to ask God and give yourself to him. It is God’s will to change you into his likeness. That will happen as you put yourself in a situation to hear God’s Word and to put it into practice

1-9-11 - Giving your Best
PIF Kids Sermon - 1/9/11
Giving your best
Lesson Introduction:
Opening Question – How was your relationship with God in 2010?Here’s 3 categories
1) None at all – Didn’t give God a lot of thought
2) Inconsistent – Times you really seriously seek God. You read the bible. He convicts you and then you got side track by other things and then you stop reading and praying
3) Very good – Everyday you would read the bible, God speaks to you everyday, putting God first your day. When you do something wrong you confess your sin
Which one are you?
It’s so easy for us to get sidetrack.
“But first seek his Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”Matthew 6:33
Bible Story: Genesis 4:1-5 Giving your best to God
Why did God accept Abel’s offering but not Cain’s offering?
It says Cain brought SOME of the fruits and Abel brought the best and some of the firstborn of his flock.
God desires us to give us his best and
Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed. -Mark 1:35
Take the first part of the day: Seek God
Read the bible and pray before you leave your house or school.
If you fail to plan…you plan to fail.
Have a plan what to read and what time and make it consistent
Conclusion:
If you want to be the same as you did in 2010 then do the same thing as last year but if you want something different and really be close
If you want another year to go by…do what you did.
If you want something you never had. Do what you have never done.
Next year in 2012 when someone ask you how was last year spiritually for you. You can answer I’ve never known God like I do now. I’ve never seen the power of God like I have.
When they ask you Why? You can answer them because I put him first in my life.
Giving your best

12-26-10: Learning to Follow Jesus Attribute 2.1: Learn to be happy
PIF Kids Sermon - 12/26/10
Learning to Follow Jesus
Attribute 2: Learn to listen
Step 1: Learn to be happy
Scripture Memory:“Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.” – Matthew 7:24-25
Bible Story: Matthew 5:1-12
We have to Learn to be happy! How?!? Let’s take a look what the bible says:
What words are repeated in Matthew 5:1-12? Blessed
Some people translate Blessed as “Happy” or in the Old Testament it means you were approved by God.
When we are blessed by God, our happiness does not come from what we are going though, or by accident, or through a search, It coms be because we stand approved before the Creator of the universe.
You know what the world tell us? When we get what we want then we are happy. He teaches us that blessing is not linked to how much you have in this world.
Blessed people are those who realize they have nothing to bring to God, the poor in spirit. If you really discover that…you won’t be sad when the rain comes
