THE SAFE PLACE: GOD IS MY STRENGTH is the series that LifeKids will be studying through the month of October.
In October, school is well underway, and kids are facing down big things: tests and homework. Sports competitions. Finding their place in friend groups. Maybe even standing up to a bully. Kids already know that the world can be a very dark place. This month, we want to equip kids to understand that no matter what they face, God is fighting with them and for them. Jesus wins! And in the end, everything will be made right, even if it’s not our timeline. With this truth in mind, we can always find strength and courage in God!
We want parents to be as involved as possible and be able to reinforce the lessons at home.
take home point
Some kids respond to the idea of Jesus as a shepherd or a loving friend. Other kids resonate most with the truth of Jesus as a warrior. We want LifeKids to lean into the strength and wildness of Jesus this month. We want them to connect with a God who is fighting for them and has a vital role for them to play in the battle, even when that means marching in obedience rather than fighting. We all wonder sometimes why God doesn’t seem to be coming through for us. However, God often rescues us through hard things by walking with us, giving us courage, and growing us to be more like Jesus. God’s time is different than our time, but we can still trust that in the end, He will make all things right.
We want our kids to have faith in God’s Son, believe in Jesus, and continue to trust Him even when life doesn’t make sense.
Here's a quick week to week overview of our lessons.
Week 1
God is strong, so I can be brave.
This week, we visit the edge of the Promised Land, where it seems that Joshua and the Israelites have no chance against the strongly walled city of Jericho, their only path into the land God had promised. But God is so strong He doesn’t need their weapons—only their obedience.
Israel Captures Jericho
Joshua 6:1-16, 20
Week 2
God is with me, so I can stand for what’s true.
Week 2 brings us to the story of Daniel’s friends, Shadrach, Meschach and Abednego. All officials in the region are ordered to worship a gigantic golden statue, and the penalty for those who refuse is a quick trip into a blazing hot furnace. When Daniel’s friends defy the king’s order, they’re tossed into the flames. But instead of meeting a quick end… they meet Someone unexpected.
A Gold Statue and a Blazing Furnace
Daniel 3
Week 3
God is in control, so I can trust Him.
Time to travel to the Sea of Galilee, where Jesus and His disciples are caught up in a wild storm. While His friends panic, Jesus takes a nap. But when they wake Him up, Jesus shows in a single instant that God is never asleep to our needs—and always in control.
Jesus Calms the Storm
Mark 4:36-41
Week 4
Jesus wins.
We wrap up the month with an incredible reminder about the end of our story. On the evening before giving up His life, Jesus told His friends, “In this world you will have trouble. But be encouraged! I have won the battle over the world.” Jesus’ resurrection proves that everything He said is true! And what’s more, Jesus gave His friend John an incredible vision of His triumphant return at the end of time. Kids can be confident that, in the end, God will make everything right.
