Activities + Resources
Do any of you know what today is? Yes you are exactly right. It is Super Bowl Sunday. Well I brought my big bowl and I have put a lot of stuff in it so I can participate in Super Bowl Sunday. I have a CD, I have some crayons, I have some thread etc…
What are you laughing at? My stuff won't work for Super Bowl Sunday? Let's talk about Super Bowl Sunday. I know it is just a bunch of men who wanted to get together and have some fun and play football right. Oh! they had to win some other games before they got to go the Super Bowl. They had to practice and work hard to get that far.
Isn't it the same for a Christian? We have to be ready for worship before we even get to church. How do you prepare to worship? You have to read your Bible and pray and then you have to do some practicing. The things that we have to practice are: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness , faithfulness, gentleness and self control. Are these things easy? Not usually but if you want to win with Jesus you have do these things.
When you have done this then you are ready for Super Sunday . You will feel good about coming to church, your heart will be ready, and you will want to be with your Christian friends. Every Sunday a will be a Super Sunday.
