Prayer

Let’s take another vote. When we sin, should we run to God or away from God? Raise your hand if we should run away from God. Now raise your hand if you think we should run to God.

When we sin, we should run to God and ask for forgiveness! When we do this, God celebrates! That’s why today’s SuperTruth says, “God celebrates when we ask Jesus to forgive our sins.” Let’s all say that together.

How does it make you feel to know that when you sin, God wants you to come to Him?

Let’s take a few moments to pray silently and bring all of our sins to Jesus. We shouldn’t be afraid to admit what we have done wrong, because He died to forgive us!    

Have the children bow their heads. Pray that the Holy Spirit will reveal anything that they need to confess to Jesus to be forgiven. Then have them pray silently and ask Jesus to forgive them.

Conclusion: Dear God, we believe You are celebrating right now with great joy because we have come to You and asked You to forgive our sins. Thank You, Jesus, for dying on the cross to pay the price for our sins so that we can be completely forgiven. In Your name, Amen.
