Hyfi Preschool-Kids Weekly Training

An important fact we get to teach this week is that we all need God’s forgiveness. In John 4:1-42, Jesus met a Samaritan woman at a well in the middle of the day. Jews and Samaritans did not get along. The fact that this Samaritan woman was at the well in middle of the day meant she had also been rejected by her community. But Jesus did not reject her. Instead, He offered her “living water.” This...

We get to teach preschoolers and kids that they need God every day. This week’s Bible story is an overview from Exodus 13–40. God cared for His people, the Israelites, including leading them through the desert with a cloud by day and a fire by night. Even though they were not perfect and made wrong choices, God showed He was always with them. God promised to be with them and provide what they need...

Our Bible story this week is from Ephesians 1. In this letter to Christians in Ephesus, Paul prayed that the people who follow Jesus would have strong faith and know that they are special to God!

This week we get to teach preschoolers and kids that God loves us so much, and He se...

We get to teach preschoolers and kids that where they live is special and matters to God . In Jeremiah 29:1-14, God told His people that they should live their lives well, even while they were in captivity in Babylon. God’s people were not happy about living in Babylon. But God taught them that when the place around them thrived, they would thrive. They could seek Him and follow Him in Babylon. Wh...

Preschoolers and kids will learn this week that their lives are special and matter to God. In Judges 13–16, we will teach about a man named Samson, whose life mattered to God even though he made wrong choices.

This week we will teach preschoolers and kids that their names are special and matter to God. God called a boy named Samuel by name and gave him an important message.

We will teach preschoolers and kids that they are also uniquely designed by God, and their...

This week, we are going Nonstop teaching preschoolers and kids that sharing Jesus is worth it Here and Now! Jesus told several parables , which were stories that Jesus taught to help people understand the kingdom of God.

We are teaching preschoolers and kids this week that sharing Jesus is God’s plan. After Jesus died and rose again, He appeared to His disciples.

Jesus walked them through Scripture, showing that it was always God’s plan to sen...

In our final week of All the Way! God Helps Me Obey , we are looking in Exodus to learn about how God helps us with our actions. Exodus 3–12 shows Moses, the leader of God’s people, and Pharaoh, the leader of Egypt, on opposite sides of what they wanted for God’s people, the Israelites. Pharaoh disobeyed God by refusing to let the Israelites go, but Moses obeyed God as he continued trying to free...

This week we will teach kids that God cares about our actions. In Philippians 2:1-18, Paul reminded Christians that Jesus lived with humility , meaning an attitude of submission , or surrender, to God and gentleness toward other people.

In our Bible story this week from James 3, James teaches us that God cares about our words. Preschoolers and kids will learn that words have power. James wrote that our tongues have the power to praise or curse God and to build others up or tear them down. Preschoolers and kids can know that God works through our words to show His love and share truth with others. When we struggle to control our w...

Obedience to God starts in our thoughts, so this week we will teach preschoolers that God helps us with our thoughts. Our Bible story about wise King Solomon comes from 1 Kings 3:1-15, 2 Chronicles 1:1-13, and Proverbs 4. When Solomon had the opportunity to ask God for anything, he asked for wisdom. Throughout his life, Solomon showed the value of knowing and following God’s wisdom. Preschoolers c...

In this week’s Bible story from 1 Peter 1:13-25, the disciple Peter wrote that God cares about our thoughts. Our thoughts influence our actions.

Everything God did though Jesus shows that He sees us, loves us, car...

This week’s Bible story comes from Daniel 2:1-30 and teaches that God is wise. Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, had a dream and challenged others to both tell him the dream and interpret it. Daniel and his friends were exiles from Judah living in Babylon. They loved and followed the one true God and knew that only He was wise enough to do what the king asked. Daniel and his friends, looking to...

Preschoolers and kids will learn this week that God is both just and kind through the story of Noah from Genesis 6–9:17. God told Noah He would send a flood to cover the whole earth and punish sin, because God is just and always does what is right.
