SUNDAY SCHOOL: Patient

PATIENCE is waiting until later for what you want now

Don't get tired of doing the right thing

Memory Verse: The end of a matter is better than its beginning. So it's better to be patient than proud. (Ecclesiastes 7:8)

Today's Bible Story: The Golden Calf (Exodus 19:2-8; 32:1-7, 15-24, 30-34)

DAY 1:

Read Matthew 22:39
God wants yu to keep loving others when it's easy and when it's hard. When you do that, you'll know that you're doing what God wants, and you'll be a blessing to the people around you. So don't get tired of loving others.

Thanks God for helping you love others.

DAY 2:

Read Matthew 6:1-4
Do you think about giving things to others when it's not Christmas or their birthday? God wants us to keep giving--all year long! When we keep giving, we keep showing God's love to others. So don't get tired of giving to others.

Ask God to show you ways to keep giving to others.

DAY 3:

Read Deuteronomy 13:4
Ask a kid, you constantly have people telling you what to do. It's not always easy to do, but it's what God wants. When we keep obeying people in charge we show them--and God--respect (another virtue)! So don't get tired of obeying your leaders.

Listen to God and do what He says.

DAY 4:

Read John 3:16
Believing in Jesus isn't just a one-time thing. It's something you keep doing throught your life, and the benefits are endless! So keep on believing in Him.

Know that Jesus is always your Savior.
