7 A.I.M. Lesson Outline Episode 2 Passage: Mark 12:41-44 LEARN IT We can trust God to take care of us. The rich man gave from his wealth, but the widow gave all that she had. The widow knew that God was watching and she knew that God would provide. LINK IT We have so much stuff, we don t leave room for God to provide what we need! Giving up a little of what God has given us reminds us it all belongs to Him anyway. COMPASS POINT When you give, go big. You ll be glad that you did. LIVE IT God didn t give us money just to spend on ourselves; He gave it to us so we could also share with others. It s not about the amount we give, it s how we feel about giving that counts. Giving reminds us that God really does supply everything we need. MEMORY MAX Give your gifts in secret, and your Father, who knows all secrets, will reward you. Matthew 6:4 Episode 2 1 of 1

8 Q-CARD episode 2 Q-CARD episode 2 Q-CARD episode 2 What do you like to spend your money on? Share with your group an interest you have, a collection, or a hobby that you like to spend money on. (Allow kids time to discuss their interests, collections, or hobbies.) Why do we spend money on some things instead of others? Why is it so important to give your money to the church? When you give your money to the church, you are really giving it to God. You give your money to the church to change your world, but it all starts in the middle. It all starts with you! Have someone look up Matthew 6:24 and read it to your group. What does this verse say about our relationship to God and money? (Allow kids time to discuss this and share their thoughts with the group.) You spend your money on what you care about, what is important to you. This verse says that when you give your money to the church, you are saying, God, you are really important to me. Your giving shows your love, devotion, and service to God to the whole world. What is most important in giving money to the church? Have someone look up 1 Corinthians 16:2 and read it to your group. Do the same with 2 Corinthians 9:7. According to these verses, it s NOT how much money you give, BUT how much of your heart you give to God. God wants us to give back part of what we get: the more you have the more you should give. But the most important thing is that we do it cheerfully, joyfully, or happily, not just because we have to. It s NOT the amount you give, BUT the attitude you give it with. Pass out the Prayer Cards and ask your group to write down the commitment they made so you can pray for them this week. Review today s Memory Max with hand motions. Matthew 6:4 says, Give your gifts in secret, and your Father, who knows all secrets, will reward you.

9 AIM: Agents in Motion Mission #2 Impact your Church The purpose of this lesson plan is to: Create a fun and interactive learning experience Provide teaching options in addition to the Leader Q Card Creatively revisit the Bible story featured in the teaching video Give kids an opportunity to further explore the application point PROGRAM Activity Length of Segment Running Time Q Card: Discussion 15 minutes Start-15 minutes Picture: Bible Story 5 minutes minutes Play: Learning Activity 10 minutes minutes Plan: Group Commitment 5 minutes minutes Pray: Prayer Cards 5 minutes minutes PREP You will need: Pennies or play money/coins (5-10 per small or large group) 3 large plastic cups labeled 5, 10, and 15 (one set per small or large group) For younger kids: plastic bowls instead of cups (optional) Masking tape, yarn, or chairs for throw line (1 set of materials per small or large group) Story Props (optional) Prayer Cards (1 per kid) MAP Books (1 per kid) PICTURE (The Bible Story) In this portion of your class time you have the opportunity to retell the Bible story presented earlier in the teaching video. The object is to paint a picture that kids will understand and remember. When telling the story, remember you are painting a picture for your viewers. Have fun and explore your creativity. Here are some ideas to make your storytelling more memorable: Try asking kids to act out the story as you read it aloud The characters in the story are: Jesus, Rich People, Poor Widow You might use props: many pennies/coins for the rich, 2 pennies/coins for the widow, collection box

10 The Widow s Offering Mark 12:41-44 Jesus went over to the collection box in the Temple and sat and watched as the crowds dropped in their money. Many rich people put in large amounts. Then a poor widow came and dropped in two pennies. He called His disciples to Him and said, "I assure you, this poor widow has given more than all the others have given. For they gave a tiny part of their surplus, but she, poor as she is, has given everything she has." PLAY (Learning Activity) In this portion of your class time you will lead your class in a fun and exciting activity that will help your kids apply the Bible lesson to their everyday lives. The Widow s Coin Toss HOW TO START: Small or Large Group: Divide kids into 2-4 teams Set out the 3 large plastic cups on the table or floor Create a throw line using masking tape, yarn, or chairs HOW TO PLAY: Say, This game is called The Widow s Coin Toss. This game will help us to think about what great things can happen when we give back to God. Begin Round #1: One player from each team plays in round #1 Each player stands behind the throw line and one at a time tosses 5 coins into the plastic cups Each coin successfully landing into a cup receives the point value displayed Each player adds up his/her cumulative points from the 5 coins tossed Record the number of points for each team Bonus Question: Ask the players a bonus question (see questions below) The first player to raise his/her hand and answer the question earns a bonus 5 points for his/her team Begin Round #2 One player from each team plays in round #2 Repeat all steps to complete round #2 Repeat all steps for additional rounds as time and interest permit PLAY OPTIONS: Hand out game prizes to all players For Younger Kids: Try using bowls instead of cups to create easier targets Bonus Activity: Coin Scatter Scatter the coins on the ground. Record the time as team #1 gathers all the coins and places them into a cup/bowl. Repeat for each additional team. Lowest time wins the round. 2

11 GAME QUESTIONS: What does it mean to tithe? What is one thing that God has given to you? Why is it important to give back to God? How much did the widow give back to God? Was that a lot or a little for her to give? Why? How can your tithes/gifts help the church? How can your tithes/gifts help others in need? (food, clothing, shelter, etc.) How can your tithes/gifts help the church to tell others about Jesus? What is more important: to give a lot of money, or to give with a grateful heart? Why? How can giving your money back to God help your heart grow closer to Him? How do you feel about giving some of your money back to God? Why? Do you think God will give you everything you need?
