Leader Introduction
Welcome students as they arrive with their parents.
OPTIONAL: As they arrive, play the song “Self Control.”
Today’s Bible story reinforces and expands on Lessons 1-3 about Daniel and his friends who showed self-control to obey God’s Law. In this lesson we learn how Daniel continued his pattern of prayer even when doing so meant being thrown into a den of lions.
In the next video, Gizmo suddenly blurts out words that hurt Gear’s feelings. Was this a glitch in his circuits or did he really feel this way? Children learn the importance of self-control—to resist temptation and do what you know is right, especially with our words.
