Write the SuperVerse on the board. James 4:6b:

As the Scriptures say, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”

Let’s say our SuperVerse together. James 4:6:

As the Scriptures say, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”

Naaman led the Syrian army to many victories—yet he could not win the battle against leprosy. Before he was healed, he had to lay aside his pride. The SuperVerse tells us that God opposes people who are filled with pride, and He favors those who are humble.

Think about Naaman in our video. When he spoke, did he sound like this? Speak in a soft whisper: James 4:6b.

As the Scriptures say, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”

No! Naaman was a powerful army commander. Let’s say the memory verse like he would—boldly. Have you got your Naaman voice ready? Go! James 4:6:

As the Scriptures say, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”

Good! Now, what character in our video spoke in a softer voice? The servant girl.

Let’s say the SuperVerse like the servant girl would say it. Have you got your servant girl voice ready? Go! James 4:6:

As the Scriptures say, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”

Good! I heard a proud commander and then a humble servant! There is someone else in the Bible who is our greatest model of humility. Can you guess who that person is?

Jesus showed true humbleness by obeying God, even when it meant dying on the cross. Let’s follow Christ’s example and humble ourselves before God.
