SuperVerse

This verse is part of a letter written to believers to encourage them. What a blessing He speaks over them, asking God to fully prepare and empower them to do His will for their lives in a way that pleases God.

Through whom does this power come to us? Through Jesus Christ.

Yes, every good thing and any blessing we receive from God comes to us because of the sacrifice Jesus made for us on the cross. We cannot do anything outside of Jesus Christ that will please God. (See John 15:5; Ephesians 1:3.)

Let’s read the SuperVerse together from the board. Hebrews 13:21:

May He equip you with all you need for doing His will. May He produce in you, through the power of Jesus Christ, every good thing that is pleasing to Him.

Have the children lower and/or cover their eyes so they cannot see the board. Using the list below, substitute one word of the SuperVerse on the board at a time to alter the meaning of the verse, then have the children look at the board and raise their hands to tell you what word should be fixed. Write in the correct word, then repeat the process.You may wish to vary the order of the list.

• Change “equip” to “punish”
