Bible Activity

Have the children work in pairs to look up the verses and find the answer to each question. Try to pair skilled Bible users with visitors, children who are not as familiar with the Bible, or those with special needs. Questions may not always have an exact word answer. Children will have to read and then discuss the passage with their partner to form their answer. Allow the children about 10 minutes to complete their sheets, then review the questions as a group and allow the teams to share their answers. If time is short, assign different questions to various pairs of children.

Teacher’s Answer Key:

1. He will not share His glory with any person or idol.
2. To bring praise to God, our heavenly Father.
3. Show off, call attention to, announce, or brag about our good deeds.
4. We may get a temporary reward on Earth but will lose our reward from God in heaven; God is not pleased when we are prideful and selfish.
5. God.
6. Children’s discussion.
7. Wisdom, power, riches.
8. Yes, if we boast in God’s love, justice and righteousness.

Conclusion: God has given us amazing gifts, talents and abilities. He has filled us with knowledge and wisdom. It is important that we give God the credit and glory for these blessings instead of boasting in ourselves. When we do this, God will reward us!
