Hyfi Preschool-Kids Weekly Training

This week, we will teach preschoolers and kids that God can forgive us. Our Bible story from Mark 2 and Luke 5 is about a lame man whose friends carried him to Jesus. Before healing the man, Jesus forgave the lame man’s sins because forgiveness was his greatest need. After Jesus forgave the man, He also healed him! Teach this story to show preschoolers and kids that we all need God’s forgiveness,...

We have been teaching preschoolers and kids that God values them. In this last week of Wild and Wonderful and VIP , we will teach that God sent Jesus for us. In Ephesians 2:1-10, Paul wrote a letter to Christians living in the city of Ephesus. He wrote a reminder that Christians are dead in our sin because sin separates us from God. But because God sent Jesus, everyone who trusts and follows Him g...

Our Bible story this week is from Genesis 1:26–2:25 and will help preschoolers and kids learn that God made them on purpose. God created the world and everything in it. He made people unique and different because people are the only ones in God's creation who are made in His image. Preschoolers and kids can know that they are not an accident—God made them on purpose too. We are special and va...

This week we will teach preschoolers and kids that God seeks and celebrates us. Jesus told a story about a lost son in Luke 15. This son demanded his inheritance from his father before leaving and spending the money on foolish living. Once the money was gone, a famine devastated the land. The son found himself broke, alone, and hungry. He decided to return home and beg his father to make him like...

We get to teach preschoolers and kids that God made them with worth. In our Bible story from Matthew 19 and Mark 10, people brought children to Jesus, hoping He would bless them. However, the disciples tried to stop it from happening. When Jesus saw this, He became indignant. Jesus invited the children to come to Him, saying that the kingdom of God belongs to them. Preschoolers and kids will learn...

We have a special Hooray Day in preschool and Game Changer in kids this week where we will pump up the energy and have deep and intentional discussions about celebrating that Jesus changes the game in our lives.

Our Bible story this week will teach preschoolers and kids that we can love like Jesus. In Matthew 5:43-48, Jesus taught that people who love and follow Him are to love differently. They are to love when it costs them something, even when they are not shown love and kindness in return. Jesus taught that they should even love their enemies. Jesus is our example of how to love. Kids and preschoolers...

Follow the Leader to discover what is Next Up: Teaching preschoolers and kids that we can trust like Jesus. In our Bible story from Matthew 6:25-34, Jesus told His listeners not to worry but to remember how God provides for His creation.

Our Bible story this week is from Matthew 5:38-42; 6:1-4,19-24. Jesus taught what it means to honor God by serving others.

We get to teach preschoolers and kids that God made us to serve because we love God, not because we want the praise of o...

This week we are teaching preschoolers and kids that they are designed for a purpose and part of that purpose and plan is to live like Jesus. In Matthew 7:24-29, Jesus explained that when we listen to Him and do what He says, we are like the builder who built his house on the rock—the strong foundation. Winds and storms will come, but the house stands strong because it is built on the right founda...

While we and our world are broken because of sin, we can have hope and trust that something good will happen. Preschoolers and kids will learn this week that they need God’s hope.

Incredibly, God worked through a wido...

This week we will teach preschoolers and kids that they need God’s compassion. Our Bible story is found in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.

Jesus knew the people not only needed His teaching but also actual food, so He miraculously multiplied fiv...

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.

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. God uniquely designed Samson, and He has uniquely designed each and every preschooler and kid in our ministry too. Our lives matter to God because we matter to God. He loves us, and He desig...

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.

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. In one of these instances, Jesus met two of His disciples as they were walking to Emmaus. The men did not recognize who Jesus was and shared their heartbreak over His death. Jesus walked them through Scripture, showing that it was always God’s plan to sen...
