Awana Closing Lesson

Treasure...

Find 4 treasure envelopes in room

I love treasure it’s fun exciting, always a new treasure to seek out

Some treasure is more valuable than other treasure… show empty envelope

Psalm 119:9-11 speaks of some very valuable treasure…

The reference is easy to remember… REFLECTION ( looking like Jesus Christ) or EMERGENCIES! (911)

“How can a young person stay pure? A QUESTION REQUIRING AN ANSWER!

By obeying Your Word. DOING WHAT GOD SAYS

I have tried hard to find you; EFFORT… SOMETHING YOU LOVE, CARE ABOUT, INVEST

Don’t let me wander from Your commands. A HEART REQUEST, I WANT TO BE CLOSE (I want to reflect you)

I have hidden (treasured) Your Word in my heart, IT’S CLOSE, LOOKED FOR, GUARDED

That I might not sin against You.” IT HAS VALUE, USE IT, ENJOY IT

Something Treasured:

Has value & worth

You guard it

You enjoy it / use it

Treasure has different values… it can show by how we invest our time...
