Five-minute object lesson
Prop: a small lamp
Hold a small lamp. Read Luke 10 in about four minutes, stopping at Luke 10:27: “He answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.”” Ask, “What does this prop have to do with Luke 10?” Let two children answer, then say the memory verse together.
Story script
Luke 10 is a real chapter from the New Testament. It starts, “Now after these things, the Lord also appointed seventy others, and sent them two by two ahead of him into every city and place, where he was about to come.” That is not a motto invented for a poster. It is the first sentence a family hears when this page is opened at night.
Keep going a little further. The chapter also says, “Turning to the disciples, he said, “All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is, except the Father, and who the Father is, except the Son, and he to whomever the Son desires to reveal him.”” Luke 10 opens with these words: “Now after these things, the Lord also appointed seventy others, and sent them two by two ahead of him into every city and place, where he…” The line to keep is Luke 10:27: “He answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as…” Carry the word “answered” from that verse into the rest of the day.
The line worth learning out loud is Luke 10:27: “He answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.”” If the rest of the chapter feels crowded, hold that one sentence until the room is quiet.
What happens first in Luke 10? Then try this: Read “He answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your…” once more. What does it show you about God? You do not have to finish every verse. You can close the book after the memory verse and still have read the Bible together.
Group game
Walk the room as if you are moving through Luke 10. Every time you freeze, a child says one word from Luke 10:27. The last child says the whole verse.
Craft
