What will you do when you're world turns upside down? Will you join in or hold strong? This lesson presents God’s gift of salvation. Every church presents the Gospel with slight variations and nuances. Read through the steps before teaching. Present the Gospel in a way that is consistent with the scripture and God’s leading.

Upside Down Week 1

 I Will Go God’s Way!

Rusty and Ethel join a society that teaches them everything is equally true and valid, but that’s impossible. Two opposite ideas cannot both be true. Would they be willing to be different to follow the truth even if it meant disappointing the society?

Upside Down Week 2

I Will Only Worship God

It’s ok to disagree with your friends if they do something that God says is wrong. Maybe you’ve been tempted to go along with the crowd and celebrate things that don’t match what God likes. Let’s see what Rusty did when he found himself surrounded by people who celebrate bad things.

Upside Down Week 3

I Won't Celebrate Bad Things!

Some people think about quitting or hiding what they really think about Jesus because they’re afraid of how others might react. Are Sophia and Ethel one of them?

Upside Down Week 4

 I Won't Back Down

Join Herman, Rusty, and their friends on an adventure of science and faith. Their hijinks will leave your kids (and volunteers) laughing as they deepen their understanding of God’s Word. Included are lessons for both large groups and small groups. Each week you will receive videos, graphics, coloring sheets, and more. The elementary lessons will correspond with the junior curriculum so that everyone in your children’s ministry will be on the same page.

To say that we’re living in a crazy world is a huge understatement! The kids in our ministries are growing up in a world that seems to be getting harder and harder to navigate. Wrong is called right; right is up to the individual; having a differing opinion is intolerant and logic seems to have gone by the wayside. However, our kids aren’t the first to experience this kind of world. Daniel and his friends were violently taken from their homes and thrown into a foreign world where literally nothing was familiar. Yet God was with them and they knew it. Daniel’s life gives us some time-tested principles that can help our kids realize that it is possible to live right-side-up in an upside-down world!!
