They put all their hopes into this one basket of worldly opportunity but if they gave their life to Christ they would have more than Simon could ever give to them... eternal life and abundant life. Thank you for lesson #2. I know that I love face-time with my Pastor and so I need to give more time to those who are involved and being ministered to in our children's ministry.

And they also reflect how we as kid's pastors feel. We can strive to be "somebody" in our church, community, or network, but we only find contentment in who we are in Jesus. And we feel connected when we have face time with our lead pastor. These are two tips that can make a world of difference in the lives of the people in our ministries! These tips are so true.

When asked by the teacher why he had disrobed he exclaimed "I want to be like Daddy at dinner time!" Needless to say I declined invitations from this family to come over for dinner. Also great post! On number one I would also say that sometimes they pretend to be someone they are not just to be somebody worth being. This is such an advantage for us and the message we can share with kids.
