SuperVerse
- Chalkboard and chalk, or whiteboard and marker
- Eraser
Write the SuperVerse and scripture reference on the board.
I want to know Christ and experience the mighty power that raised Him from the dead.
Have children slowly read aloud Philippians 3:10a from the board.
Philippians was written by the Apostle Paul. He didn’t want to just hear about Jesus; he wanted to know Jesus personally—closely, deeply, intimately. He didn’t want to only hear about God’s mighty power—he wanted to experience it personally. There is a big difference between hearing about something and experiencing something yourself! When we believe in Jesus and our sins are forgiven, we experience the mighty power of God through salvation. We were dead in our sins and received new life in Christ! Today, we celebrate the resurrection and God’s mighty power—let’s share that Good News with others!
Have children face the board with the SuperVerse written on it. Say the SuperVerse aloud a few times. Do the following steps to help children learn the verse:
Erase two words from the verse and ask for volunteers to say the verse.
Replace the missing words and erase four other words. Ask for a volunteer to say the verse.
Replace the missing words and erase six words. Ask for a volunteer to say the verse.
Replace the missing words and erase ten words. Ask for a volunteer to say the verse.
Erase the entire verse. Ask for three volunteers to say the whole verse from memory.
