The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly

Transformed

September 2, 2023 • SLAM

Welcome to SLAM Online!

We tend to put people in categories. Some people we think are potential Christians. Others we label as “too far gone” and assume they will never give their lives to God. After all, they are just “too sinful.” We stop praying for them, witnessing to them, or even hoping for a change.

Many would have put the woman in today’s Bible Story in that category. In fact, Simon the Pharisee thought exactly that. But Jesus did not. When the woman came to pour perfume on Jesus and wipe His feet with her hair, Jesus welcomed her with open arms. Beyond that, He forgave her sins and changed her life.

In this lesson, the children will learn that no one is too bad or too far gone for God to forgive their sins. We should never give up on anyone. God doesn’t.

From Death To Life

August 19, 2023 • SLAM

Welcome to SLAM Online! This is a new series called "Transformed!" It is all about people who met Jesus face-to-face and walked away transformed! Jesus was a miracle worker. He began his earthly ministry by performing His first miracle of turning water into wine. From that point on, Jesus established Himself as someone with supernatural power beyond that of mortal human beings. Jesus didn’t stop performing miracles when His earthly ministry ended. No way! He continues to perform miracles today. In fact, He wants to perform miracles both in and through each one of us. All we have to do is trust and believe. Believing is the hardest part. Some- times it seems that there is just no way a miracle can happen because we believe it is “too late.” In this lesson, the children are going to learn through the story of Lazarus being raised that it is never too late for Jesus. Even when it seems all hope is lost, Jesus can show up and perform a miracle!

Living Water

August 26, 2023 • SLAM

Welcome to SLAM Online! Our bodies need water to survive. You can drink some water, but then – only a little while later – you’ll be thirsty again. Your body just can’t go very long without you getting that thirsty feeling. Our souls are like that, too. There’s a feeling that we get in our soul that’s a lot like being thirsty. It’s not thirst for liquid. It’s a thirst for meaning...for purpose. We were created so that only Jesus can quench this feeling of thirst in our souls. Jesus said in John chapter 4 that He is the only one who can give “Living Water.” In this lesson, we will learn from the story of “The Woman At The Well.” We will learn that Jesus is the only One who can provide us with “The Living Water” that can TRANSFORM our lives!

Leave It All Behind

September 16, 2023 • SLAM

Welcome to SLAM Online! Some people feel like once they accept Jesus as their Savior and they are going to Heaven, they can just go right back to sinning and living for themselves. That’s not what Jesus taught us to do. If we belong to Him, we are to REPENT. To repent means “to turn around and go the opposite direction.” That means that even though you once were headed your own way and sinning, when you repent, you turn around and head GOD’S way and start doing right. It doesn’t matter what you have done in the past; Jesus can TRANSFORM you into a brand new person. In this lesson, the children are going to learn from the story of one of Jesus’ disciples, Matthew. When Matthew began following Jesus, he left his old life behind. His whole life was TRANSFORMED!
