1 GOD is the MASTER JENGA [ DAY ONE BIG IDEA ] UNITY Using the provided Jenga set, dump all the pieces on a work space (it could be a floor, table, section of the field, etc.). Allowing each student to build, have students create the tower three blocks on the bottom and then build up. Having such a strong foundation should make it quite easy. Now, disassemble it again. Have students try and build a tower only one block as the foundation positioned vertically (tall). See how many blocks you can add to the tower out it falling over. You can even say, If you add the block that makes it crash to the ground, you have to clean the table after our next meal. What does this teach us? How does this apply to our lives? Tonight, we learned about Nehemiah. He was a guy who was asked by God to build a wall of protection around a city. What advice would you give a builder like that? Jesus had some things to say about building as well
2 Let s read Matthew 7:24-27 and the Wise and Foolish Builders. THE WISE AND FOOLISH S 24 So then, everyone who hears my words and puts them into practice is like a wise man. He builds his house on the rock. 25 The rain comes down. The water rises. The winds blow and beat against that house. But it does not fall. It is built on the rock. 26 But everyone who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man. He builds his house on sand. 27 The rain comes down. The water rises. The winds blow and beat against that house. And it falls a loud crash. Who is Jesus? What does He say about building? Who/What is the Rock? Jesus uses the analogy of a house to describe the really important things in our lives. Name some things that are really important to you. How does the Jenga building exercise relate to the story that Jesus told? How can we be wise? God, the One who made the universe, you, and me, created us to be people who trusted in Him and who build our lives, houses, and priorities on Him. He was a Master Builder when He made each of us and He loves us enough to call us to be wise (super smart and careful) and build our house (our lives, our safety, our priorities) and make Him the Foundation of our lives. LEAD PRAYER Dear Jesus, thank you for an amazing first day. Thank you for being not only our Master Builder, but also the only wise foundation. MEMORIZE THIS VERSE DAILY BIBLE VERSE Don t you know who made everything? Haven t you heard about Him? The Lord is the God who lives forever. He created everything on earth. ISAIAH 40:28A
3 JESUS is on OUR [ DAY TWO BIG IDEA ] TEAM! SCRIPTURE SPEEDY TOSS UNITY You will need: A softball-sized plastic ball (provided), a timer (use one on your phone), enough room for your group to form a large circle, and the paper the following verse on it (also provided): Everyone who hears my words and puts them into practice is like a wise man. He builds his house on the rock. Matt 7:24 Put everyone in your group in a circle. Starting a leader each time, start a chain of throws (throw the ball to one person, they throw it to another, etc. whilst reciting the verse). With each throw, another word of the verse is said. If anyone drops the ball or fails to say the word they are supposed to, the round must start again. Players do not need to throw the ball to the same person each time, although it might help to assign an order so no team member is left out. The goal is to say the whole verse, one word at a time, out dropping the ball, as quickly as possible. Do it as many times as it takes until you can no longer beat your team s own fastest record.
4 Let s read Matthew 7:24-27 and the Wise and Foolish Builders. THE WISE AND FOOLISH S 24 So then, everyone who hears my words and puts them into practice is like a wise man. He builds his house on the rock. 25 The rain comes down. The water rises. The winds blow and beat against that house. But it does not fall. It is built on the rock. 26 But everyone who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man. He builds his house on sand. 27 The rain comes down. The water rises. The winds blow and beat against that house. And it falls a loud crash. According to Jesus, how can a person be wise? Who is included in this opportunity? What does it mean to put His words into practice? What words is He talking about? What did Jesus come to Earth to do? Why would He do that? LEAD PRAYER Dear Jesus, thank you for a great day. Thank you for coming to Earth to die for us so we can have a friendship You and build our lives on You. Please help us to be wise and learn more each day how we can build our lives on you. MEMORIZE THIS VERSE God did not send His Son into the world to judge the world. He sent his Son to save the world through Him. JOHN 3:17 DAILY BIBLE VERSE
5 SIN BLOCKS OUR RELATIONSHIP GOD! RED ROVER You will possibly need another small group to play alongside. UNITY Two teams line up opposite each other, no more than 30 feet apart. The first team agrees to call one player from the opposite team, and chants, Red Rover, Red Rover, send (player s name) on over! The person called runs to the other line and attempts to break the chain (formed by the linking of hands) Make sure campers are not lacing fingers together. If the person called fails to break the chain, this player joins the team that called Red Rover. But, if the player successfully breaks the chain, he may capture either of the two players whose link was broken by the dash, and bring them back to his original team. Teams take turns calling out Red Rover and challenging a player on the opposing team. The objective of the game is to end the most players on your team by maintaining the integrity of your chain. The game ends when all the players end up on one side. While the game s objective is keeping the chain intact, players holding on too tightly might cause injury to players in the chain-links or to the runner. Remember, it s just a game! After you play, ask the following questions: [ DAY THREE BIG IDEA ] What is the object of Red Rover? Are there any secrets to winning this game? How does it feel to break through the arms of the other team? Who would you send in your place if you could have anyone in the world play Red Rover for you?
6 Let s read Matthew 7:24-27 and the Wise and Foolish Builders. THE WISE AND FOOLISH S 24 So then, everyone who hears my words and puts them into practice is like a wise man. He builds his house on the rock. 25 The rain comes down. The water rises. The winds blow and beat against that house. But it does not fall. It is built on the rock. 26 But everyone who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man. He builds his house on sand. 27 The rain comes down. The water rises. The winds blow and beat against that house. And it falls a loud crash. Jesus broke through to live on Earth and die for us. It does not mean that we will not have storms in our lives, but it does mean He will be us to help us. Sin is a word that means an immoral act considered to be a transgression against divine law. That means that when we make a poor choice, disobey His law, and choose not to put His words into practice, we are sinning. What are some sins of which you are aware? (Ex: Lying, cheating, disobeying parents, using bad language ) Sometimes, the rain and water He talks about in this verse is about things that happen to us, but sometimes, storms come because we have chosen not to build our house (or life) on God s truth. Sometimes, we feel like our life falls a loud crash. Much like our Red Rover game, sin can tear at our friendship God. (Isaiah 59:2) But fortunately for us, Jesus came to break the hold that sin can have on us so our relationship God can be restored. LEAD PRAYER Dear God, we confess that we make poor choices every day. We know that puts a strain on our relationship you. Please help us to put your words into practice. MEMORIZE THIS VERSE Teach me how to live as you have promised. Don t let any sin be my master. PSALM 119:133 DAILY BIBLE VERSE
7 GOD HAS PLANS for YOU SILENT BUILD You will need: A list of objects to build (household appliances, etc.) [ DAY FOUR BIG IDEA ] UNITY Split your small group in half. Give each team an object to build out telling the other half of the group what they are building. WITHOUT TALKING, they must try and become that object and act it out (like charades) for the other group until that group guesses what they are trying to portray. What was the hardest part of this? Was it more difficult to be the builders or the guessers? Would it have helped if you knew what they were supposed to be building? What do you wish you knew about your future? What would you ask God to tell you about your future if you knew He would answer you?
8 Let s read Matthew 7:24-27 and the Wise and Foolish Builders. THE WISE AND FOOLISH S 24 So then, everyone who hears my words and puts them into practice is like a wise man. He builds his house on the rock. 25 The rain comes down. The water rises. The winds blow and beat against that house. But it does not fall. It is built on the rock. 26 But everyone who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man. He builds his house on sand. 27 The rain comes down. The water rises. The winds blow and beat against that house. And it falls a loud crash. God has plans for us that He can see, but we can t always see or understand. Although it would be easier if He told us ahead of time, our faith grows when we have to depend on Him. LEAD PRAYER Dear God, please help us trust in the plans you have for us. Your Word promises that you have a hope and a future for us. Help us to trust that even when the wind blows and we feel overwhelmed, You are in control. MEMORIZE THIS VERSE DAILY BIBLE VERSE Lord, teach me how you want me to live. Do this so that I will depend on you, my faithful God. Give me a heart that doesn t want anything more than to worship you. PSALM 86:11
