SuperVerse
- Whiteboard and marker or chalkboard and chalk
- Bibles or the Superbook Bible App
Write the SuperVerse on the board as written below, with each line numbered:
1. Then I heard the Lord asking,
2. "Whom should I send as a messenger to this people? Who will go for us?"
3. I said, "Here I am. Send me."
4. Isaiah 6:8
Superbook Send: Memorize the SuperVerse with a group activity.
Who was looking for a messenger in this verse? The Lord; God.
Who answered the call? Isaiah.
In Isaiah’s vision, he saw angelic beings called Seraphim flying around God’s throne, worshiping and praising God. Let me see—they were speaking in soft, quiet whispers, right? No!
That’s right; their praises shook the foundation of the Temple and smoke filled the throne room. Isaiah was completely awestruck and humbled. Instantly, he felt unworthy in the presence of God Almighty.
How did God purify Isaiah in the vision? One of the Seraphim (angelic beings) touched his lips with a hot coal.
After being cleansed by God, Isaiah immediately and boldly answered God’s call to be a messenger and speak to God’s people.
Point to the board. Let’s say Isaiah 6:8, which is today’s SuperVerse. I would like to do it like this: the girls will be the voice of Isaiah and say lines #1 and #3. The boys will be the booming voice of God and say line #2 and the scripture reference in line #4.
Have the children do this twice and then reverse roles and do it two more times.
