Here's an activity which I did with students aged  10-12 but could be used with teens or adults.  After reading Psalm 23 from the Bible and underlining and or coloring in key words or phrases, the students were asked to write their own version of the psalm using the template below.
.
 FILL THE GAPS WITH YOUR VERSION OF THE PSALM  
PSALM 23  
 THE LORD THE ………………………….. 
         
A song of  …………………...

​23 The Lord is my ………………….
    I have everything I need.
2. He gives me rest ………………………..
    He leads me to …………………….
3. He gives me new strength.
For the good of his name,
    he leads me on ……………………….
4. Even if I walk
    through a very ……………………….,
I will not be afraid
    because you are with me.
Your ………………..    and your ………………..     comfort me.
5. You prepare a meal for me
    in front of …………………….
You …………………………………...
    You give me more than …………………….
 
6. Surely your ………………………….. will be with me
    all my life.
And I will live in the house of the Lord forever.

Bible Verses set to Simple Songs

2/20/2020

0 Comments

 
Here's a few Bible verses for young children I set to well known tunes. I came up with these as part of  a Forty Days Of Purpose children's program.

Mark 12:30     ( Tune: Row, row, row your boat)
Love, love, love the Lord,
Love the Lord your God-
With all your heart
With all your soul
​With all your mind and strength.


Ephesians 2:10    ( Tune: If you're happy and you know it)
We are God's workmanship
Created in Jesus Christ
to do good works
which God has prepared
in advance for us to do.


Romans 12.5  ( There's a hole in the bucket)
So, in Christ we who are many -
form one body and each member
 in Christ everybody
 belongs to the rest.

FEEDING 5000

FEEDING 5000 (John chapter 6)
(Invite children to join in the counting parts of the rhyme)
​

1, 2 ... two small fish. (Not much of a dish) 
PLUS 1, 2, 3, 4, 5... five loaves of bread.
"That's all I have!" The small boy said.
No shops to stop. No place to buy,
Then Jesus prayed, please multiply
Till every mouth had fish and bread.
Amazed that all the crowd was fed.
1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000...
People, sat on a hill
And saw Jesus add up a miracle.

What makes a person a Christian?

WHAT MAKES A PERSON A CHRISTIAN?
Not "being good",
Not "going to church"
Not "reading the Bible"?
Sure, any of these people MIGHT be real Christians,
but they're not Christians
BECAUSE of what they do -
they do those things

BECAUSE they're Christians.

Sorry- that's not really right either.
Christians DO believe in God,
but so do lot's of other people.




​

​
That depends on what you mean
by "believing".
If you just believe Jesus lived,
then that's not enough
either...



​

YES! A Christian is someone
who TRUSTS JESUS* -
*that means
BELIEVES Jesus is a real person - God's own son.
ADMITS they haven't lived His way & asks God to forgive them.
TRUSTS that because HE died in their place God will forgive what they've done wrong.
LET'S Him be in charge of their life & does what he says.   ​

​Jesus will help you take that step,

if you honestly ask Him (PRAY)
- in fact that is the first step ...

the second step is to start
letting Him help you live His way.
