Run for Jesus Bible Lesson for Children's Ministry

The crafts and activities featured below are from the impactful Bible lesson, Running for Jesus", specifically created for children in third through fifth grade. While is symbolism in this lesson may be challenging for younger children, older children will undoubtedly engage with the compelling topics of racing, competition, and winning prizes.

Learning Concept: Paul's analogy in 1 Corinthians, comparing us to runners, beautifully illustrates the concept of life being akin to a race or competition. Our birth initiates a race between good and evil. By wholeheartedly using the talents bestowed upon us to lead a life that pleases God to the best of our abilities, we can emerge as victorious winners in this race.
