He Brews Bro Children's Ministry Curriculum Lesson Overview

Lessons 1-4 Memory Verse:

“So let us boldly approach God’s throne of grace. Then we will receive mercy. We will find grace to help us when we need it.” – Hebrews 4:16 (NIRV)

Lessons 1-4:

Tall Order
Scripture: Hebrews 1:1-6, Christ is Supreme
The book of Hebrews starts with a tall order, naming the supreme being of all the universe. Jesus is over the angels, offers salvation, and sits at the right hand of the Father. There is no one higher.
Objective: Kids will say “Jesus is above every being and everything.”  

The More You Joe
Scripture: Hebrews 2:1-4, Do Not Drift Away
God offers us salvation through his son, Jesus. We would be fools to not take advantage of this free gift, or to drift away from the salvation that we know.
Objective: Kids will say “I will trust in the salvation that Jesus offers.”

Grounds For Complaint
Scripture: Hebrews 3:12-15, Encourage Each Other
We must not become complacent or start to complain. We should encourage each other to stay away from sinfulness and to stay true to the salvation we know.
Objective: Kids will say “I will encourage others to stay true to God.”

Better Latte Than Never
Scripture: Hebrews 4:9-13, Spiritual Rest
Jesus offers rest to the weary. We may be struggling now, but we can be certain that we will enter into that rest which Jesus gives. It will come soon.  
Objective: Kids will say “I will rest myself in the Lord.”

Lessons 5-8 Memory Verse:

“Faith is being sure of what we hope for. It is being sure of what we do not see.” – Hebrews 11:1 (NIRV)

Lessons 5-8:

A Touch of Milk
Scripture: Hebrews 5:11-6:3, Spiritual Immaturity
Drinking our coffee with a touch of milk can be nice. Spiritually speaking, we need to drink “spiritual milk” when we are young believers, but eventually, we should be consuming solid food. We need to strive to become mature in the Lord.
Objective: Kids will say “I want to grow mature in the Lord.”

An Extra Shot
Scripture: Hebrews 10:26-39, Perseverance
The early Christian had to face insult and persecution, loss of property and sometimes loss of life. But they endured because they knew what Jesus had done for them: Given them an extra shot at forgiveness and standing right before God.
Objective: Kids will say “Everything I might face is small compared to what Jesus has done for me.”  

It's Bean a Long Time
Scripture: Hebrews 11, Hall of Faith
So many people in the Old Testament – Noah, Abraham, Moses – waited on the salvation that God had promised. Humanity had to wait a long time, but Jesus came at just the right time, to bring us salvation.
Objective: Kids will say “I will join the great people of the Bible and put my faith in Jesus.”

Espresso Yourself
Scripture: Hebrews 12:25-29, Unshakeable Kingdom
God will shake the heavens and the earth. Those who trust in Jesus are part of an unshakeable kingdom, where we are free to praise and worship our king.
Objective: Kids will say “I will praise Jesus with my whole heart.”
