Made in God's Image Week 5: Jesus Teaches about Humility

Hey parents! This week your child learned that because we are made in God’s image, we can show humility. They heard the Bible story, Jesus Teaches about Humility, too! Use these questions as a guide to talk over this week’s lesson after they’ve watched the video service!

1. What was your favorite part of the video we just watched?
2. In our Bible story, Jesus taught about humility. What does humility mean?
   Humility means putting other people before ourselves! We are all God’s masterpiece and God loves all of us. That means that we are not better than anyone else.
3. Where did Jesus say we should sit at the table?
   He said we should take the lowest seat at the table. This means we should always let other people take the better seat. Maybe that means the seat that’s closer to the TV, the seat that’s next to the better snacks, or the seat that is more comfortable. We let other people sit in the good seats!
4. In Game Time today, we played Left or Right. Which one of the questions from the game was hard for you to answer/choose a side?
   Admitting when something is hard is a way we can show humility. Sometimes showing humility is hard because we want good things for ourselves, too. When we show humility, that means we don’t always get the things we want because we are letting someone else get them. But God wants us to show humility so people can know they are loved. God wants what’s best for all of us. So don’t worry if you give up something for someone else. God promises to give us what we need and reward those who show humility.
5. Our memory verse, Ephesians 2:10, says, “For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.” What are some good things you can do to show humility?
   You can let someone else go in front of you in line. You can let someone else choose the movie you watch. You can give the bigger half of the cookie to the other person. You can serve your family dinner before you serve yourself.
6. Who is someone who you can show humility to?
   Everyone. Maybe your brother or sister or someone in your family. Or maybe a friend or neighbor! Think of people in your life who you can show humility to and plan to do one thing this week to remind them that they are important to you and to God.
