Leader Guide
Bible Activity
- Bibles or the Superbook Bible App
- Whiteboard and marker, or chalkboard and chalk
Give each child a Bible. You may also choose to give a Bible to pairs of children to look up the verse together. This is helpful when there are many visitors or inexperienced Bible users present.
Life-changing News! Look up verses about the power of the Gospel.
Let’s say the SuperVerse together: For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes.
The Gospel contains God’s power and is God’s solution to our problem of sin and death. The verses you will look up are about the Gospel, or the Good News, of Christ.
Note that the suggested answers are from the New Living Translation. If children are using different translations, their answers will vary. Write the scripture references, one at a time, on the board for children to look up, read, and find the answers to fill in the blanks. Assist children as necessary to help children who are not familiar with the Bible, or pair them with a more experienced child. Have children raise their hands when they have found the answer.
