Getting invited to a party is one of the best feelings, and being left out is one of the worst. But there's good news—
Jesus never leaves anyone out! He invites everyone to spend time with him, experience his love, and share it with
others. This series will remind kids that Jesus' invitation is always open, and we're never too far away to join the party!
In this series, kids will learn that I'm invited to believe in Jesus, love like Jesus does,
experience Jesus' miracles, ask Jesus for help, and worship Jesus.

"Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become
children of God.” — John 1:12 (NIV)

LittleLIFE is also working with our older Preschoolers and Kindergarteners to start learning the New Testament books of the Bible.

Throughout Genesis, God continually made promises that affirmed His covenantal commitment
to His people. Despite their repeated sin, God promised to send the ultimate Rescuer to save
humanity and restore the perfect relationship that Adam and Eve shared with God in the garden.
Throughout this series, kids will learn that God created the world, God loves people,
God makes promises to His people, God keeps His promises, and God works all things for good.

"This God—His way is perfect; the word of the Lord proves true."
(Psalm 18:30a)

If we want to grow spiritually, we need to be engaged in healthy community and godly
relationships with others — with people who share our beliefs, as well as with people who don’t.
This is why our spiritual habit to kick off a new school year is: Spending Time with Others!
KidLIFE experiences will weave this spiritual habit into our time together in small groups in multiple
ways over the next few months as we learn how spending time with others helps us grow in our faith.

This series explores the leadership of Israel’s most notable kings: Saul, David, and Solomon. God ordained Saul as Israel’s first king, but he fell victim to his own arrogance. Though God’s Spirit rested on Saul in the beginning, he wouldn’t recognize when it departed. Saul displayed what it looks like to live outside of the Lord’s will; he embodied foolishness. But God had a plan for someone else to serve as king—a man after God’s heart, a man who would point to the King of heaven and earth rather than himself. King David modeled humility, dependence on God, and wisdom. Even through David’s imperfections, he modeled confession and repentance. His son, Solomon, followed in David’s steps, building the temple and establishing a permanent house for the Lord. And though he was granted unmatched wisdom from God, Solomon also fell to his own sinful desires. What we can gather from these men is the truth that no earthly king can take the place of our heavenly King. No earthly king would bend low, take on the sins of the people, and walk humbly as a servant. Only King Jesus could perfectly fulfill the role. He is our good and perfect King.

In a video game, you expect to face challenges and make mistakes, but there's always a way out. If things get too
difficult, you can just turn it off and start over. In real life, it's not so easy for us to recover from mistakes or start over
when we face challenges, but Jesus gives us a chance to restart — no matter how difficult our circumstances. In this series from the Old and New Testaments, we'll look at a few people who needed God's help to give them a
restart. From their stories, we'll discover four promises from God we can trust:
>When you feel like a failure, God helps you restart
>When you feel overwhelmed, God takes care of you
>When you feel stuck, God gives you guidance
>When you feel unwanted, God says you belong

"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!"
— 2 Corinthians 5:17 (NIV)
