CHILD FRIENDLY HOW MUCH?

Memory Verse: 1 Timothy 6:10 “The love of money causes all kinds of evil. Some people have turned away from what we believe because they want to get more and more money. But they have caused themselves a lot of pain and sorrow.

 

Sometimes we think about what’s important in life. Is it money? Is it being famous? Is it having lots of stuff? Or is it something deeper—like love, kindness, and doing what’s right?

Let’s ask a big question: 

How much is a person worth? 

Is it how much money they have? Or how much they give? Or how much they love?

In the Bible, there are three stories where money was used in a big way:

1. Joseph and His Brothers 

In Genesis 37 Joseph’s brothers sold him for 20 silver coins. That’s not much! But Joseph became a great man who helped many people. His brothers? They had to come back to him for help. So, who really had more value?

2. Samson and Delilah 

In Judges 16 Delilah was paid 5,500 silver coins to trick Samson. That’s a lot of money, but was it worth hurting someone she loved? She chose money over love and loyalty. That money didn’t make her a better person.

3. Jesus and Judas 

Jesus was betrayed by His friend Judas in Matthew 26:47-52vfor 30 silver coins. That’s how little Judas thought Jesus was worth. But Jesus gave His life for us—not for money, but because He loves us. His love is priceless.

So, How Much Is Your Life Worth? 

It’s worth more than all the money in the world. 

Why? Because Jesus paid for your life with His own. That means you are very special and deeply loved.

REFLECTION QUESTIONS

- If someone were going to sell you out, how much would they ask for? 

- Would you ever trade a friend for money or things? 

- Have you ever chosen something wrong over doing what’s right? 

- Has someone ever hurt you for their own gain? How did it feel?

PRAYER: Dear God, help me to remember that people are more important than money. Help me to be wise and kind, and to never hurt others just to get things. Thank You, Jesus, for loving me so much. Amen.

Shalom

 

EXTENDED READING: Genesis 37

IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO START AGAIN!

Job 17:10-11 GW   "But now, all of you, come and try again! I won’t find one wise man among you.  My days are passing by. My plans are broken. My dreams are shattered."[10]   Life may require us to start again—and it’s never too late to start over. One of life’s certainties is that everyone will experience failure at something at some point. Life is never an unbroken series of victories. Setbacks, losses, and sometimes defeat will happen and may overwhelm us. Defeat may be thrust upon us by circumstance or by others, or we may defeat ourselves by our own thoughts and actions. When this happens, some give up, some persist until they succeed, and others are willing to start over again. Luke 7:11-15 gives the account of the widow of Nain, on her way to bury her only son, crying, distraught after losing another close family member. On the way, Jesus saw her, had compassion, and acted.  The woman must have thought, "Is He kidding? Does He know what I've been t...

DIVINE VISION!

Jeremiah 1:1-11 NASB The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin, [2] to whom the word of the Lord came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign. [3] It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the exile of Jerusalem in the fifth month. [4] Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying, [5] “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, And before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” [6] Then I said, “Oh, Lord God! Behold, I do not know how to speak, Because I am a youth.” [7] But the Lord said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’ Because everywhere I send you, you shall go, And all that I command you, you shall speak. [8] “Do not be afraid of them, For I am with you to save you,” declares the Lord. [9] Then the Lord stretch...

RESISTANCE FROM STEPPING INTO PURPOSE!

John 16:33 AMPC I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]   Stepping into your God-given purpose is one of the most powerful decisions you will ever make. But it is also one of the most resisted. The Bible makes it clear that whenever God calls a person, opposition rises—externally, internally, and spiritually. Jesus Himself tells us that trials will come, but His victory gives us courage and peace. Every believer must understand this: resistance is not a sign that you’re in the wrong place; it is often proof that you’re stepping into the right one. Everyone called by God faces resistance! Throughout Scripture, the moment people stepped into divine purpose, they faced pushback. ...
