SuperVerse

In revealing that God was who the people of Athens called the unknown God, Paul declared that from the time God created Adam in the Garden, it was His plan for all people of all nations to seek Him and to find Him. Paul said that God does not distance Himself from us to make Himself hard to find. On purpose, God stays near to each of us.  

In the Bible, people who worshiped idols did not believe that their gods interacted in their personal lives. Paul brought “strange ideas” to them which they had never heard or imagined could be true.     

Not only could they know God intimately, His PURPOSE was for them to find Him!  

Let’s say Acts 17:27 together: 

Divide the children into three teams Try to form teams with different ages and genders.  

Assign one of the numbered lines to each team. 

Designate a time frame for the teams to gather in different locations in the room (teams must still be able to see the board).

The teams will then practice saying their line together. This can be as a group, or by assigning a specific word or words to each team member. As a bonus, teams can add motions to their line.    

When the time expires, have the groups reassemble in front of the board to recite their lines in order until the entire verse is completed. 

Have all groups say the Bible reference together.

If time permits, have the children turn with their backs to the board and do this again from memory. Help groups out as necessary to complete the verse. 

Conclusion: Imagine the Almighty God, Creator of everything, wants each one of us to find Him and know Him. He is not far from us; His Holy Spirit lives in us!     

If children cannot memorize the SuperVerse, be sure they understand its meaning. Remind them to keep working on the verse at home.
