Use Kind Words

October 12, 2024 • SLAM, Pastor Tyler Loy

We live in a world that seems to celebrate when people disagree sharply with others. Arguments, fights, and disagreements dominate the daily news cycle. People use their words to tear others down, speak in anger, and more. This is not how Christians are supposed to conduct themselves. We are to use our words to bring healing to others. We should always choose kind words when we speak.

In this lesson, the children will learn how to speak kind words. They will continue to T.H.I.N.K. before they speak and ask themselves, “Is what I am about to say Kind?” If not, then they will choose not to say it.

Words Have Power

September 7, 2024 • SLAM, Pastor Tyler Loy

“Watch your mouth!” This phrase has been uttered by many parents, teachers, and Children’s Leaders when dealing with children. Too often, children speak WAY before they think! More often than that, the words that are spoken do a lot of damage to others. Learning to control the tongue is one of the hardest things a child can learn. In this lesson, the children will learn that our words have power! We should never just let them fly. We should always "T.H.I.N.K." before we speak. Through the story of Creation, they will learn the power of God’s words to create the world. In the same way, our words have the power to build up or teardown. We must choose to "T.H.I.N.K." before we speak!

T = True

In this world, it’s very common for people to lie. People lie all the time. They try to cover up their mistakes, keep people from knowing what REALLY happened, or keep people from finding out who they REALLY are; however, as Christians, we are commanded to live differently. The children will learn from the story of Ananias and Sapphira the importance of telling the truth. They will learn in their lesson that half- truths are WHOLE lies, that lying is the opposite of Jesus, and that they must speak the truth - all the time, to everyone! The children will learn the importance of making sure every word that leaves their mouth is 100% true.

H = Helpful

Nobody enjoys being around a gossip or complainer. Complaining comes from a bad attitude. Gossip never helps anybody - only hurts! When someone gossips and complains, the words they are saying may technically be True, but they are not helpful. Gossip and complaints never help anybody. These kinds of words come from a bad spirit and a horrible attitude. In this lesson, the children are going to learn about someone who paid a high price for their gossip and complaining! From the story of Korah in Numbers 16, they will learn all about the dangers of using our words to gossip and complain. It’s so important to “T.H.I.N.K. Before You Speak” and ensure that every word uttered is truly Helpful.
