We re gonna find out just how rich we are when we trust God to take care of our needs! Now listen up as our friends share the rules with us!

We ve got quite a few blessed, rich kids in this room! And, there s more blessings coming your way when you trust and follow Jesus, because God has more than enough to meet all your needs! Now, let s see. Which small group can say, God is rich! the loudest? Let me hear you! (Kids shout out) God is rich! Wow. That was loud. I think (name a small group) was the loudest, though!

And some of you might even get a reward for making great choices like that today a Dot sticker! Your small group leader will be watching to see who they can pass out Dot stickers to this week!

Let s find out why we give money to God! (Choose helpers.) Whoa! All those upgrades cost a lot of money. They are not worth it when you have everything you already need from God! Money and getting more stuff is not what makes you rich. God knows best what we need, and He gives it to us from His glorious riches. Remember our Bible verse to help you trust in Him! (Do motions and say in rhythm with kids) Philippians 4:19 And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches Great job! Now your small group leader has a challenge for you today. Let s see how many blessings you can think of that God has made you rich with! God gave us the most amazing gift ever: His Son, Jesus. Let your small group leader know if you re ready to accept that gift. You can admit your sin, believe Jesus died for you, and choose to depend on God s power to help you say, No! to sin. Once you do that, you re a part of God s family. And God takes care of everyone in His family. He knows what you need most to follow Him best, and He ll make sure you get it! In your small group, talk about some of the things that make you feel rich, some of the things that make you feel poor, and how rich God really is!
