Candy 12-Week Children's Ministry Curriculum

Candy Bible Lessons - Yum! Use Kids Favorite Candy To Teach Them Some SWEET Lessons From The Bible. In these 12 fun candy Bible lessons based on candy, kids will learn life lessons about worldly temptations, growing in Christ, and living for God.  And even though there is no mention of modern-day candy in the Bible, these sweet treats can still be used to help kids remember these Bible lessons. So every time they eat their favorite candy they can be reminded of the Bible lesson they learned to go with it!  _______ Candy Curriculum Overview Memory Verse:  "How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!” Psalm 119:103 Lessons: Gum- Kids will learn from Solomon that nothing on this Earth can make them happy for very long. Only Jesus can give eternal joy. Sour Candy- Kids will learn that some things that seem sweet will turn sour on us because they are not God's plan for us. Kids will learn the story of the Israelites trying to take the Promised Land after God said no. Mints- Kids will learn they can't cover up their sin, but they need to confess it and let Jesus make them new. Movie Candy- Kids will learn the importance of counting the cost of following Jesus. Chocolate- Kids will learn how Creation reminds us of the goodness - and sweetness - of God. Cotton Candy - Kids will learn to put their faith on a firm foundation, not one that fades away, from the parable of the wise and foolish builders.   Memory Verse: “Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night.” Psalm 1:1-2 Taffy- Kids will learn how challenges in life help to stretch and shape us into the people God wants us to be through the story of Joseph. Jawbreakers- Kids will learn that there is no sense in arguing with God. He is unchanging, and his will is unbreakable. The story of Jonah. Hard Candy- Kids will learn the virtue of patience (sucking on a hard candy to make it last vs chomping) from the story of Jacob and Rachel. Red Hots- Kids will learn that God can give us the strength to withstand any trial we may face. Jelly Beans- Kids will learn how God created us all different but yet he wants us to work together in unity through the story of the early church.
