Magic tricks and illusions have a way of sparking wonder and curiosity. But long before today’s magicians, Daniel and his friends stood out during the Babylonian exile. They were wiser than the magicians and astrologers of their time because they looked to God for wisdom. Through their brave actions and wise choices, they showed God’s power to everyone around them—no tricks needed! In this series, kids will learn that God helps us choose wisely, God is ready to rescue us, God’s words show us what to do, and our courage can help others see God.

"For great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; he is to be feared above all gods."—1 Chronicles 16:25 (NIV)

By giving the law to His people, God showed His commitment to the Israelites’ well-being. Joshua was rewarded for trusting God despite others’ fear. God was trustworthy as He led the Israelites to victory in Jericho. Samson’s life showed that even when people fail, God remains faithful and merciful, ready to redeem those who turn back to Him. Our stories reveal a God who is constant, powerful and worthy of trust in all circumstances.

"And those who know Your name put their trust in You, for You, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You." (Psalm 9:10)

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.

After God freed the Hebrew people from Egyptian slavery, He made a covenant with them: He promised to be their God, and they promised to follow His commands. But Israel repeatedly broke this covenant. Like an unfaithful wife, Israel gave her heart to false gods and wandered away from the Lord. The people imitated pagan nations and committed idolatry.
Rather than living in their identity as God’s chosen people, Israel profaned the Lord’s name among the nations and committed detestable acts. God was patient. He warned Israel and Judah through the prophets: God would allow His people to feel the consequences of idolatry. They would be conquered and exiled. Their beloved temple, which they had defiled, would crumble. The prophets cried out for the people to repent, urging them to turn back to the Lord.
Though His people had wandered far from Him, God never stopped being faithful. He was prepared to heal them.  Woven throughout the prophets’ warnings were promises: God wasn’t going to abandon His people. He wasn’t confined to the temple in Jerusalem and would go with them—even into exile. God was going to restore them and bring them home. The Lord made a new covenant with them: He would replace their hearts of stone with hearts of flesh and inscribe His Word there, deep within, instead of on stone tablets. He would transform them from the inside out.

Coaches help their teams by guiding them towards good decisions. They create the strategy, put together a game
plan, and send their players out to make it happen. Wouldn't it be nice for someone to do that for all of our decisions?
Thankfully, God gives us wisdom whenever we feel like we could use a good coach. In this series from Proverbs
and the Epistles, we'll learn more about the wisdom God offers us whenever we want to make godly decisions. We'll
see that wise people practice what God has said and share what God has given them.
We'll also look at how the Holy Spirit helps wise people follow God’s guidance and how
wise people's words show God's love.

"Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says."
— James 1:22 (NIV)
