Children can work together as a class or in groups of 2 or 3 or even alone for older children. See how many words the children can make out of The Great Exchange in a certain time length. Eg: Teach, teeth, heat, each, agent, cat,

2. TEAM GAMES:: (For Junior youth only 10 minutes)
Everyone gets a piece of paper taped to their back. (Make sure their name is at the top of the paper.) Each person is given a marker. Walk around the room and write a compliment or positive remark about that person on their back. When everyone has written something kind and positive on each other’s backs, everyone returns to their seat. Each participant can take a turn at reading off the person's list to that person aloud. What a great self-esteem booster.

5.TEACHING:
a) Review
Who can remember last weeks Memory Verse? (Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me. Psalm 51:10)

Last week we leant about protecting your heart how do we do that? (Watch what you see, here, do and go)
If you can control what you see and hear what will happen? (It will control what goes into your heart.)
If you can control what goes into your heart what will be the effect? (You can control what comes out of your mouth.)
If you don’t control your mouth what else do you control? (Your feet.)
If your feet are not there neither are you! There are places you should not be. Don’t go there!

b) Sword Play
Ready…Swords up… Ephesians 2: 8-9… CHARGE!
8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast.

(Use the Bible Verse Visual Aid to assist with learning the verse)

Print off the Bible Verse and tape the sections to the bottom of the chair prior to class. Once the youths have found the verses get the 7 youths to come to the front of the room and sort them into the correct order. Repeat the verse in total. Give the sections to 7 more youth and get them to unjumble them and repeat the verse, continue until they can recite the verse.

(Listen to the MP3 audio of Ephesians 2: 8-9 to help learn the Bible Verse)

1) For it is by grace you have been saved,
2) through faith—
3) and this is not from yourselves,

DECLARATION: Jesus I believe in you, you died in my place and I allowed that to happen. I receive your life, I receive your righteous as a free gift I can’t earn it, I don’t have to earn it and I refuse to try to earn it. I am forgiven, I am right with God not because of me but because of you. I receive you and what you did for me so I declare about myself I am the righteous of God in Christ Jesus and I will stay the righteousness of God not because of my obedience but is connected to Jesus’ obedience never changes so my righteous never changes because my righteous is not connected to my obedience but to Jesus obedience. I believe in this righteousness God looks at me He looks pass my flesh, weakness, addictions and short-comes and he sees the free gift of righteousness and declares me to be righteousness. I am right with God, guilt your days are over for making me feel bad, I am not disconnected from God I am connected to God because of the blood of Jesus because of His obedience I am right with God.

CLOSING PRAYER: Heavenly Father in according to Galatians 2:20 I confess that I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. I thank you that I am right with God I am forgiven from my sins, I acknowledge that I can’t make it better by obeying more. It’s my gift from you God almighty, so Father I can come boldly to the thrown of grace covered with the blood of Jesus and receive the help I need because of this righteousness that you will look at me and see Jesus because I have His righteousness. Amen.
