Kolby & Mary Beth King
God changed their lives… With that being said, Kolby is the children's minister at First Baptist Church in Owasso, Oklahoma, where he and Mary Beth, his wife, minister to 150 elementary students each week. They are also the founders of three-thirty ministries, a resource network for the purpose of providing affordable resources to churches and families around the world. Kolby is a ventriloquist (which basically means he likes to talk to himself) and Mary Beth eats fire as a way of sharing the Gospel. During their years in evangelism and student ministry, they picked up other interesting ministry tools including stunts with six-foot balloons, balloon sculptures, fire-juggling (which one should never do on a windy day!), and a variety of other unique activities for the purpose of sharing Jesus with others.

John 3:30

About the Authors
This book is dedicated to children who seek to know God and make Him known.
Introduction
_______________________
Our Goal
To help students experience God’s Word in a colorful, fun, surprising and creative manner; to ignite in them a hunger that leads them to dig in, crawl inside, explore, enjoy and live out God’s truth.
Teaching Method
Children only remember 10% of what they hear, 20% of what they see, and 30% of what they hear and see. They are concrete learners, which means they retain 80 to 90% of what they do, touch, smell, taste, and help teach. Therefore, these lessons are packed with a teaching style that will help them to:
Find it. Taste it. Touch it. Make it.
Know it. Grow it. See it. Show it.
Live it!
Just Like Jesus - Lesson 1
Jesus, the Good Shepherd
_______________________
Bible Reference: John 10:7-15
Key Verse: John 10:11—[Jesus said,]I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
ITEMS NEEDED:
-3 Psalm 23 Posters
-Sheep Craft items:
(1) 1 Sheep Sheet for each student
(2) Cotton Balls, Items to color with
(3) Googly Eyes
PRAYER PART—The Lord is my Shepherd…
Greet your students.
SAY: Today we’re going to begin with a Bible drill. If you don’t have your Bible with you today, that’s okay but be sure to bring them with you to church each week. For those of you who do have a Bible, when I say Go,
I want you to find the book of Psalms as fast as you can. Get your Bible ready…Get set…Go!
ASK: Who knows how to find Psalms in the Bible? (Answer: Hold your Bible sideways and open it to the middle. Usually, this is the book of Psalms. If not, you’ll be close.)
Have your students try to find the book of Psalms.
Then have them close their Bibles and do it again. This time tell them to find Psalm 23. For younger children, you might take a moment to explain how to recognize the chapter number and the verse numbers.
ASK: Does anyone know who wrote Psalm 23? (Answer: King David)
Choose three volunteers to hold the Psalm 23 signs.
Ask your students to read Psalm 23 with you.
While you read ask them to raise their hand when they hear a way that the shepherd takes care of the sheep that reminds them of a way the Lord takes care of us.
ASK: What are some ways that a shepherd takes care of his sheep that reminds you of how God takes care of us ? (He provides for us; He guides us; He leads us; He protects us, etc.)
ASK: What do you think David meant when He wrote, The Lord is my Shepherd: I shall lack nothing.
?
SAY: The shepherd provided for his sheep everything they needed everyday to stay alive—Food, water, a place to rest and a place to be safe. As we pray today, you can know that the Lord is a Good Shepherd who always takes care of His sheep.
OPTION: If you want, during this series, take a few minutes to ask for prayer requests. You might even want to keep a list in your room to refer back to each week to help your students see how God answers prayer.
PRAY
SAY: Everybody bow your heads and close your eyes. Now with your heads bowed and your eyes closed, I’m going to call out some of today’s prayer requests and as I do, I want you to pray silently for them. (Pause…Call out some of the prayer requests and then pray.)
OPENING ACTIVITY (Optional):
SAY: Raise your hand if you’re good at unscrambling words. Today we have three words that we want you to unscramble:
Tell your students to raise their hands when they think they know the answer.
CHALLENGE #1
Write the following letters on your marker board: OODG (Answer: Good)
CHALLENGE #2
Write the following letters on your marker board: SEJUS (Answer: Jesus)
CHALLENGE #3
Write the following letters on your marker board: HTTUR (Answer: Truth)
CHALLENGE #4
Write the following letters on your marker board: DHESRHEP (Answer: Shepherd)
SAY: Every time you come to church we want you to learn the TRUTH. And today we’re going to learn how JESUS is the GOOD SHEPHERD.
CONTROL TOOL
Anytime you say, You can trust Jesus / Your students reply: Who is the Good Shepherd!
Leader: You can trust Jesus / Students: Who is the Good Shepherd!
BIBLE LESSON
(Based on John 10:7-15)
SAY: As I read what Jesus says from the Bible, listen for two key words.
YOUNGER STUDENTS: When you hear the word ‘Sheep’ I want you to make a sound like a sheep. On the count of three, everybody make a sheep noise. 1-2-3. Baaaaaaa.
But every time you hear the word ‘Shepherd’ I want you to stand up, clap your hands three times and sit back down as fast as you can.
OLDER STUDENTS: When you hear the word ‘Sheep’ I want you to shout out, Sheep!
On the count of three, let’s pratice. 1-2-3. Sheep!
.
But every time you hear the word ‘Shepherd’ I want you to shout out, Shepherd!
Let’s practice. 1-2-3. Shepherd!
Let’s practice: Shepherd…Sheep.
Read from your Bible John 10:7-15
CONTROL TOOL
Leader: You can trust Jesus / Students: Who is the Good Shepherd!
SAY: I am going to test your sheep knowledge. I’m going to ask you some questions about sheep and see if agree or disagree.
(You may need to read the questions more than once.)
-If sheep are cold enough, they will try to pile on top of each other trying to stay warm and those on the bottom of the pile many times die. —If you agree, stand up. If you disagree, stay sitting down.
Freeze—Sit down. Correct Answer: Agree
-If one sheep walks off a cliff, other sheep will follow—If you agree, hop on one leg. If you disagree, hop on both legs.
Freeze—Sit down. Correct Answer: Agree
-Most animals can smell water including sheep— If you agree, go to the wall on my right. If you disagree, go to the wall on my left.
Freeze—Sit down. Correct Answer: Disagree (Most animals can smell water, but
not sheep. That’s why they need a shepherd to lead them to it.)
-If sheep go too far into water, they’ll drown—If you agree, turn in a circle. If you disagree, flap your arms like a bird.
Freeze—Sit down. Correct Answer: Agree (Their wool fills with water and they sink.)
