Jr. Tree of Life Rebound-Bounce Back, Part 1

Before you begin this Bible study, if you have never believed in Jesus Christ as your Savior, John 3:16 tells us: “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him, shall not perish, but have eternal life.” Simply have faith that Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins and you will have eternal life and be saved. If you have believed in Jesus Christ as your Savior, then 1 John 1:9 tells us: “If you confess your sins, He is faithful and
righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” Simply privately tell God the Father your sins to be filled with God, the Holy Spirit, and He will teach you Bible truth (Rebound).

Promise-Memory Verse
“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” 1 John 1:9
One day Sophie’s grandpa Larry bought some property. He couldn’t wait to show it off to her and her twin brothers Connor and Chris. Larry’s dog Misty climbed into his truck and the rest of them followed.
When they got to the property, Grandpa Larry opened his door and Misty jumped down and took off running after a squirrel. Everyone ran after her, but she disappeared into some tall grass.
Suddenly, without warning, there were thousands of grasshoppers jumping and flying through the air. Their chirping sounded like something you might hear in a scary movie.

Sophie was totally freaked out after they left grasshopper goo all over her glasses! She ran as fast as she could in order to get away from them. Just before she closed the truck door, she screamed when a grasshopper jumped out of her pony tail!
Grandpa Larry and her brothers laughed at Sophie. They weren’t scared at all. Instead, they collected lots of grasshoppers in a jar to use as fishing bait. Then, Grandpa Larry whistled for Misty and they all got back in the truck and went home.
When Sophie got home, she remembered what she had learned from her Sunday school teacher. She was supposed to rebound when she did something wrong. Sophie was afraid and that is a thinking sin.
God wants you to bounce (get) back into fellowship
with Him when you sin. Our Bible verse at the top of the lesson says that if we confess (tell) our sins, to God. He will forgive you for what you did wrong and even for the stuff you didn’t know was wrong.
Who needs to rebound?
Anyone who has accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior who sins How do you rebound?
Inside of your mind just tell God the Father what you did wrong When do you rebound?
As soon as you do something wrong What happens when you rebound?
You bounce (get) back into fellowship with God.
