Lesson for Life: Shake
off your sins and change your ways to the rest of your life for God. 2
Corinthians 5:17 “This means that anyone who belongs to Christ
has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!”
Faith Verse: Hebrews 11:21 “It was by faith that Jacob, when he was old and dying, blessed each
of Joseph’s sons and bowed in worship as he leaned on his staff.”
Lesson Activity Instructions: (15
mins)
Today we
are going to study Jacob. Anyone know what his name means? Deceiver
What does
that mean?
Well it
took Jacob a LONG time to stop his destructive path of deception.
There is a
lot of scripture to cover today and most of it is familiar, so we are going to
have some fun and portray them for each other in skits. You will notice there are 3 (or 4 depending
on number of people present) doors labeled with a scene and the number of
people needed for that scene. In the
room you will find costumes and copies of skits. You have 10 minutes to practice and get ready
to share your scripture in play-form.

Whole Group Visual Activity:
(20 minutes)
Groups will
come out and watch/perform skits in order.
After each skit make a list of Deceptions and Who did them on a poster
board as a whole group.
Game:
Shaking Off Sin Game (10mins)
Ask for 12 people who are willing to
get their nose dirty to win for their team.
Divide into two groups. At one end of the room are two tables with a
bowl of Vaseline and a pile of 12 cotton balls.
At another spot in the room is an empty table with a sign – Faith in
God. One person from each team will hold
their hands behind their back, stick their nose in the Vaseline, stick their
nose into the cotton balls and run to the other table, SHAKE OFF the cotton ball
and kneel down behind the table/sign. At
that point the next person may go. The first team to get all their cotton balls
to the Faith table wins.
