Timothy is Chosen

“You can do that when you’re older.” How often did you hear that growing up? All the time, right? Children often feel there’s more they CAN’T do than they CAN do. But age has never stopped God. He can and does do big things through young people. This weekend we’re looking at one such young man – Timothy – and the encouragement he received from Paul to set an example for others in the way he lived.

Here is a snapshot of the lesson details for this week:

Bible Story: Timothy is Chosen
Big Idea: God can do BIG things through you even though you’re young.
Memory Verse: “Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, and in purity.” 1 Timothy 4:12 (NIrV)


We hope this week you’ll take time to encourage – and even challenge – your children to set an example for others in the way they live. They need to know that they don’t have to wait until they’re older to make a difference. God can do BIG things through them right now.

In Him,
