SuperVerse

Let’s say our SuperVerse. Hebrews 4:15:

Jesus understands every weakness of ours, because He was tempted in every way that we are. But He did not sin!

Jesus not only knows about every weakness we have; He also understands the struggles we face because He experienced them, too! Yes, Jesus went through the same kind of temptations we have, but He did not sin! When we come to Jesus in our times of weakness, He will give us the strength we need to be victorious over any temptation that we face. Jesus did not sin by giving in to temptation—and when we rely on His strength, we can win, too!      

I will read the verse aloud and stop at certain parts. I want you to shout the next word that follows in the verse. We will do the first round facing the board. For the next rounds, you will turn around with your backs to the board, and we will see how much of the verse you can remember without looking. 

Read the verse out loud and stop before key words like “understands,” “tempted,” etc. Have the children turn around so they can’t see the board. For subsequent rounds, leave out different words.

Conclusion: You did really well filling in the blanks! Remember, when we are weak and struggle with temptation, Jesus understands what we are going through and can help us overcome each and every one!
