“Jesus the Servant”: Preschool & Kids Leader Training for Unit 24, Session 4—Jesus Showed His Glory

“Jesus the Servant”: Preschool & Kids Leader Training for Unit 23, Session 5—The Good Shepherd
I’m not a farmer. Not even close. One time I was speaking to a group of students in rural Florida farming community and mentioned that I saw watermelons being dug up for harvest.

“Jesus the Servant”: Preschool & Kids Leader Training for Unit 23, Session 4—Jesus Taught about Possessions
We treasure what we love and we love our treasures. When our treasures are proper, this is great. It is right and fitting that we treasure Christ and that we love Him. It is right and fitting that we treasure God’s Word and that we love reading it. It is right and fitting that we treasure the church and...
