SuperVerse

Superbook Power: Memorize the SuperVerse with a group activity.

Before God transformed Paul’s life, his name was Saul. Saul was a Pharisee who strictly obeyed the Jewish law. He thought he was pleasing God by capturing Christians and sending them to jail or to be killed. Then he met the Lord Jesus on the road to Damascus. God changed him in an instant and turned his life upside down. Instead of persecuting Christians, Saul became the apostle Paul who gave his entire life to bringing more people to Christ! Was Paul ashamed of the Gospel? No.

Now, to help us learn the SuperVerse, we are going to say it in a couple of different ways. When you are ashamed, do you feel confident and bold? No.

Right, you feel embarrassed and probably don’t want to see or talk with anyone. So, let’s say the SuperVerse very quietly—as softly as you can. First, let’s have the girls say it when I whisper, “Go.” Girls quietly say the verse. Then repeat with the boys.

Now, when Paul was changed by the Gospel, he began to preach boldly about God’s power to save through the Gospel. This time I will have the boys boldly shout the verse when I say “Go!” Boys shout the verse. Then repeat with the girls.

Wow, what a difference it makes to proclaim the power of God with boldness! This time, when I say "Go," let’s shout the SuperVerse together. Go! Everyone shouts the SuperVerse.

God does not want us to shout the Gospel at people; however, He does want us to boldly share the Good News with His love and by the power of His Spirit!

Note: If some children cannot memorize the entire SuperVerse, be sure they understand its meaning.
