Greet new members and introduce them to
the class and the Critters.
Open the class with a prayer.
- "Blessed are those whose hearts are
pure. They will see God." Matthew 5:8
-
- Objective:
- God says He wants to be our Master and we
cannot put anyone or anything ahead of Him. Jesus is God. He
is our Lord and we must let Him be the boss. He wants our hearts
clean so He can show His love and blessings to us.
-
- (God Commands)
Does "Mr. Want" live at your house?
"Mr. Want" is not a very good house guest. God prefers
that you invite "Mr. Need" into your home. Wanting
things can cause you trouble. Ask God to show you if you are
putting the things in the world before Him. God wants to be your
One and Only Conductor.
There are many ways we might make things more
important to us than God. Our 'wanter' gets in our way. When
we want to have things more than we want to serve God, we can
get into trouble. God is a jealous God. He won't take second
place in our hearts. He has told us that if we seek Him first,
He will take care of 'Mr. Need'.
-
- (Blessed Are You!)
- A pure heart is a heart that is turned to
God. If we are not looking at Jesus, we cannot see God. Being
pure in our heart means that we see like Jesus sees. We hear
what He is telling us without trying to please our 'wanter'.
A pure heart loves what God loves! God loves all people and wants
them to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Jesus says we will
be blessed if we care about God's 'wanter' more than our own.
When we love God and others with a pure heart, God will show
Himself to us in many ways!

- Only One Conductor
The Critters are practicing before the Kid
Cave Forest Spring Festival. Liam Leapfrog is the Conductor.
He is the leader of the band! He is the one who shows the band
the right way to play the music. The Critters will watch their
conductor. The Critters are learning how to watch closely and
follow their leader. The music they play at the Festival will
sound sweet to all the creatures in the forest.
- (closing)
- Repeat today's Bible verse.
- We need to know the Leader of our band. Jesus
is our only Conductor! His Holy Spirit shows us how to live sweetly
before God!
Worship God with music.
