SuperVerse

Whiteboard and marker, or chalkboard and chalk

Superbook on Top: Memorize the SuperVerse with a group activity.

At the top of the board, write these words: Christ, supply, God, riches, given, care, needs.

Write the SuperVerse in the center of the board. Philippians 4:19:

And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from His glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19

Our SuperVerse is part of a letter that Paul the apostle wrote to the believers in the city of Philippi. In the letter, he thanks them for the gifts they have sent to supply his needs. (Philippians 4:15–18.) Paul knew that God does not have favorites; He loves everyone! So Paul was confident that what God did for him, He would also do for others. All the riches of heaven and earth belong to God; He will provide whatever we need—and more! We should share this wonderful hope with others.

Let’s read our SuperVerse on the board together. Philippians 4:19:

And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from His glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus.

Erase the individual words in the SuperVerse that are written at the top of the board, but do not erase the words at the top of the board!

Read the SuperVerse slowly and stop at each space. Have the children raise their hands to fill in the words using the words at the top. If someone answers incorrectly, call on another child until the correct word is given. Now, erase the words on the top of the board and do the activity again, stopping at each space and having children supply the missing words from memory.

If time permits, erase the entire verse and ask if anyone can say it from memory.

Conclusion: God supplies all that we need and more when we believe in Christ and trust Him to provide.

If any children are not able to memorize the entire verse, be sure they understand its meaning.
