You have to be Gentle!!!

Prayer

Okay. Its time for our second to last fruit of the spirit!! Any guesses on what could be next?

place a random feather down in front of them.

What is that.

Yup, everyone, touch the feather.

Now. Watch this.

Take a shoe and stomp on the feather.

What just happened to the feather?

It got broken.

Today, we are learning about gentleness.

Who here thinks that they can be gentle?

What does it mean to be gentle?

to be calm, caring, patient, and soft spoken with others.

Do you think that saying mean words, speaking bad things, talking back to your parents, and disobeying God is “being gentle”?

Lastly, what do you think the Bible says about being gentle?!

New Living Translation Chapter 4

Therefore I, a prisoner for serving the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of your calling, for you have been called by God. 2 Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults because of your love.

Bible says to be gentle!! Be PATIENT and LOVE each other even when they wrong you.

So....again, who here thinks that they can be gentle?

hand each kid a feather.

have them stand in outside room

give them obstacles, throw stuff at them, but tell them not to crush the feather.

The one at the end with the least crushed feather wins.

Craft.
