The characters experience the fact that gratefulness is the foundational motivation for worshiping God. In this Skit Package, special emphasis is placed on singing as a form of worship. -
Giving God our tithes and offerings is very personal. Pastor Rufus helps the children understand the concept of giving gifts "from your heart to the Lord" is a great way to worship God. -
Your actions can be a form of worship to God. Doing what we know God wants us to do, and not doing what He tells us not to do is a great way to honor God. -
The characters learn that prayer is simply a respectful way to express thanks to God, ask for forgiveness, and worship Him. -
The idea that our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit is introduced to the characters while visiting the hospital. They discover that the Spirit of God no longer lives in man-made temples as in Old Testament days, but that we, as Christians, now have the Holy Spirit living within us. Pastor Rufus encourages them to worship God by keeping their bodies, His “living temples,” pure and undefiled. -
Skit Package 7 - Harvey, Zelda, Clem, and Tina provide an excellent illustration of what happens when kids don't do their jobs. Pastor Rufus helps the children see that doing their jobs as if they were doing them for God, makes others, and God happy! -
Skit Package 4 - Harvey learns how to become a Christian as he and Pastor Rufus make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for the father-son picnic.

ELECTRONIC Skit Package 6 - The parallel between a dirty mouth, which flows from dirty thoughts, and a stopped-up toilet is shown as Pastor Rufus helps Harvey deal with Loudmouth Larry. -
The faithfulness and self-control of the Apostles even after they had been flogged and imprisoned, gives Clem new confidence to be "faithful" and stand up for her faith at school. Harvey learns an embarrassing lesson about "self-control" when his parents hire a babysitter for him and Tina because they can't trust him. -
ELECTRONIC Skit Package 2 - Harvey tells a lie and experiences the struggle of trying to "get away with it." Later, he confesses and enjoys the promise of God's forgiveness. The children see the results of both a lie and the truth. Confession is compared to "spiritual breathing"; the sin is exhaled, and the forgiveness is inhaled -
The "Fruit of the Spirit" are each described in this FREE presentation, as well as a list of "Action Plans" from which the children will choose as part of their weekly application.
