Michael:

It is once again time for the T&T Tournament of Champions!

It’s Day 4!

This week is flying by!

Today’s fast-paced, highly skilled challenge is brought to you by the great folks at Level UP Music!

Be sure and tell Becky and Amber Michael sent you when you level up for music!

Are you loving learning those great songs? (encourages audience to respond)

Wayne:

I love music!

Michael:

You sure do, Wayne; you sure do....

Are you ready for another great Champion Challenge?

Let’s get today’s contestants up on the stage (introduce players; Holden and Victoria)

Wayne, tell us about today’s Champion Challenge!

Wayne:

See all the little dots on these cubes.

Whey remind me of music notes.

Don’t you think so?

Well, today our contestants will be leveling them up by stacking on on top of another until they have FIVE stacked up without any falling.

And they have to do it in ONE MINUTE!

Michael:

Oh, that should stack up nicely!

Wayne

Yes, it should.

But wait! There’s a twist!

Michael:

But how could there possibly be a twist on this challenge?

Wayne;

They each must hold a craft stick IN THEIR MOUTHS and stack the dice on the craft stick.

You might say it’s a challenge they really to sink their teeth into.

Michael:

I’m so sorry, friends.

He tries.

Matt, get ready with the timer!

Three, two, one.... go!!!

Michael:

And the winner is.... !!!

Wayne

They did amazing!

I’ll admit, those directions were hard to follow.

But sometimes things are worth doing even when it’s tough.

Michael:

You’ve been learning about Peter this week and today you’ll learn how Peter followed Jesus even when it was tough.

Today’s T&T Trivia Test is to listen for what Peter did that was challenging for him.

Wayne:

Really? Wow.

I’m ready for Bible Study!

......

I will exit for Bible Study at this point

Closing Rally

Step 1: Opening Song

Step 2: Skit

Welcome back everybody!

I hope you had a great time today!

Let’s see if you can remember what you learned in Bible Study

Connection Questions:

What did the man do after Peter healed Him? (he began leaping and praising God)

What happened to Peter and John after they had been teaching about Jesus? (They were arrested)

True or False: Peter and John were scared and decided to stop telling people the good news about Jesus (false)

Michael

They were bold and just did what they knew they needed to do.

From today’s Bible story, can you guys remember what Peter did that was so challenging for him?

That’s right!

Peter chose to continue speaking boldly about Jesus even when he was told not to and was even put in prison!

Peter knew that people need to hear about Jesus.

He knew that no matter what happened, Jesus was always with him.

I’m so thankful to know that, too!

Jesus truly is all we need

Let’s go ahead and sing about that by going over today’s new song
