Hi, kids! My name’s ______, and I’m your emcee! Who’s pumped up to be in Konnect today? (Kids cheer and answer.) What? You’ve got to be more excited than that! I said, “Who’s pumped up to be in Konnect today?” (Kids cheer and answer.) That’s more like it! Now, let’s watch a quick rules video with our friends from Konnect HQ.

Let’s pray for our offering. Bow your heads with me. (Kids and leaders bow heads.) God, thank You for blessing the gifts we’ve given to You today! We love You! In Jesus’ name, amen! OK! Everybody’s eyes on me! (Kids and leaders look up.) Repeat this point after me: I believe God is bigger and stronger than any problem. (Together with kids) I believe God is bigger and stronger than any problem. Look for it as we check in on the Konnect HQ crew!

Eww! Those worms were kind of gross—but kind of cute, too! They helped me think about how much more God understands than I do. I mean, He made the entire universe! Now, believe it or not, there is a great person who helps you remember how great God is here in this very room! They’re here every single week—your small group leaders! Turn to your leader and give them a high five! (Kids high five their leaders.) Great job! Now, get ready to worship God with your loudest praise voice! Stay close to your small group as you dance!

OK! We’ve only got three rules. Not too bad, right? Let’s follow them and make choices that put others first! Now, I’m looking for someone who’s following those rules right now! Let’s see—who can I pick to collect our offering for God? (Look out over the audience.) I see a lot of kids doing the right thing! Watch this video while I pick a couple of you guys to help! (Choose helpers.)

Whoa. It’s hard to understand why God works one miracle and not another, but His way is greater than our way. No problem is ever too hard for Him! The Bible verse reminds us of God’s great power. Say it with me! (Do motions and say in rhythm with kids.) Jeremiah 32:17 “O … LORD! You made the heavens and earth by your strong hand and powerful arm. Nothing is too hard for you!” Great job! So, we know God’s way is definitely bigger than ours—but let’s see if our way is bigger than a worm’s!!

I’m so glad when I hear the ABCs! When we follow Jesus, we’re part of God’s family! If you want Jesus to be your leader, tell your small group leader today, and they can let your family know! Now, let’s talk about how we can get better at trusting God with every problem, and asking to see His miracles. Share your thoughts with your friends and pray for one another. And remember: stay with your leader until you get checked out!

OK, friends! 1-2-3! Eyes on me! (Kids look at emcee.) It’s great to see all of your eyeballs! My name’s ______, and I’m your emcee! Let’s vote on something. If you love hanging out at home, raise your hand! (Some kids raise their hands.) Good to know. Now, moving on—listen up as our Konnect HQ friends talk about our Konnect rules!

I love to honor God with my offering! Now, let me read you today’s point: When I choose to follow Jesus, Heaven is my spirit’s home. Say it with me loud and proud! (Together with kids) When I choose to follow Jesus, Heaven is my spirit’s home. Great! Now, I asked you earlier who loves hanging out at home—well, at Konnect HQ, they’re gonna learn all about wanting to be at home—after they figure out where their home really is! Let’s watch and see what that’s all about!

Wow. You found a lot of pictures about Heaven in your seek and finds! That activity reminded me that there is a lot to learn about Heaven from the Bible—but there are still a lot of questions we don’t know the answer to. Well, not until we go home to Heaven! Let’s say our point about that together. (Together with kids) When I choose to follow Jesus, Heaven is my spirit’s home. That’s it! Great job! Now, watch this quick video, and stay close to your small group leader while we worship God!


Those are some good rules, and participating in everything we do in here is a great way to follow them. It may even impress your small group leader! And … You might even impress me! Which is a good thing, because we’ve got some offering to pick up. I’m checking right now to see who would be great at that! Watch our offering video, and I’ll choose a couple of kids! (Choose helpers.)

Whoa. Once we know that Heaven is our real home, and we get to be face to face with God there, it can be easy to get homesick. Our Bible verse reminds us where our real home is when we follow Jesus. Say it with me. (Do motions and say in rhythm with kids) Hebrews 13:14 For this world is not our permanent home; we are looking forward to a home yet to come. Great! Now, let’s see what else the Bible tells us about Heaven!

OK! Say the ABCs with me one more time! (Together with kids) Admit, believe, choose! If you want Jesus to be your leader, tell your small group leader and let your family know! I’m gonna pray for you guys. Bow your heads! (Kids and leaders bow their heads.) God, thank You for giving us a special home with You in Heaven when we choose to follow Jesus. In Jesus’ name we pray, amen! Now, stick with your small group until you get checked out!

Welcome to Konnect! My name’s ______, and we’re gonna find out who’s on the winning team around here! Shout out, “Who’s the winner?” (Kids shout out.) Who’s the winner? Aww—you sound like a bunch of old grandmas! Try it again! (Kids shout out.) Who’s the winner? Yeah, that’s it! Now, let’s watch the Konnect HQ crew break down the rules for us!

Thank You, God, for the chance to give back to You! We sure do have some generous kids in here! Moving on—today’s point is: God wins. Evil loses. Say it with me! (Together with kids) God wins. Evil loses. Way to go! Now, that’s an interesting point! But if God always wins, who’s on His team? Well, let’s watch this and see if we can figure it out!

Whoa. You all have the pieces of God’s armor down! Now you can take that game home and test your friends and family, too! All this armor talk reminds me of a joke! Tell me—What do you call a candle wearing armor? (Kids shout out their ideas.) A knight light! Get it? ‘Cause knights wear armor? Anyway … That was silly, but worshiping God isn’t! Watch this worship video and get ready to dance and sing for God! Make sure you stay close to your small group while you do!


OK, how many Konnect rules were there? Show me with your fingers! (Kids hold up 3 fingers.) That’s right, three. When you follow them, you can have a great time! And, even better, you’ll help everybody around you have a great time, too. Hmmm. Who’s out there following the rules? I’m gonna pick a couple of you to help me with the offering, and I definitely need kids who can handle it! Watch the offering video while I choose friends to help out! (Choose helpers.)

Looks like we’re all winners when we choose to follow Jesus, because then we’re on God’s winning team! No matter what evil is going on around us, we can wear God’s armor and trust we are protected! The Bible verse is about that. Say it with me! (Do motions and say in rhythm with kids) Ephesians 6:13 … put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. … You got it! Now, listen to your small group leader. They’ve got a game for you to play!

Can you believe it? Jesus knows everything about you. Yeah—everything. The good, the bad, and the ugly. But He still loves you! That’s what the ABCs are all about! If you’re ready to follow Jesus, let your small group leader know and talk to your family about it. Once you choose to follow Jesus, you can count on Him to be with you no matter what evil things are going on around you. You’re on His team—the winning team! Talk more about it in your small group. Stay with your leader until you get checked out!

Hi, friends! I’m ______, your emcee! That’s my name. Don’t wear it out! But it’s not the only name you need to know. On the count of three, tell me the name of your small group leader! 1—2—3! (Kids shout out the name of their small group leaders.) Sounds like you’ve got it! Don’t forget it! Now, listen up as our friends share the rules with us!

God is so good to us. I love to give back to Him! And when we choose to follow Jesus, He commands His angels to watch over us. This week’s point is all about that: When I choose to follow Jesus, I’ve got God’s angels on my side. Now, say it with me! (Together with kids) When I choose to follow Jesus, I’ve got God’s angels on my side. Way to go! Now that you know the point, I’ve got a question for you. How many angels do you think are all around you, right now? Hold on—don’t tell me yet! Let’s watch this and then see what you think!

Raise your hand if your group is the best at angel trivia! (Kids raise their hands.) Woohoo! That’s a lot of smart kids who know a lot about angels! Let’s work on our point about that. I’ll say the beginning of the point, and you shout out the end! When I choose to follow Jesus … (Kids shout out.) … I’ve got God’s angels on my side! Wow. That was loud. But how loud can you be as you worship God with your small group? Let’s find out after we watch this video!


Great! Now, for a pop quiz! Finish each rule for me. Rule number one: Listen to your … (Kids shout out.) … small group leader! Rule number two: Be a good … (Kids shout out.) … friend! Rule number three: Have … (Kids shout out.) … fun! Yep, sounds like you’ve got it! Now, I’ll choose two of you guys to pick up our offering. Watch this! (Point to the screen.) (Choose helpers.)

Whoa. There’s no telling how many angels are around us. There’s actually a lot we don’t know about angels! But we do know what the Bible tells us about them. Say our Bible verse about angels with me. (Do motions and say in rhythm with kids) Hebrews 1:14 All angels are spirits who serve. God sends them to serve those who will receive salvation. Great! Now, let’s see what else the Bible tells us about angels with a fun quiz game!

The ABCs remind me how good God is! He gave us the best gift ever—His Son, Jesus! Let your small group leader know if you’re ready to follow Him. Talk to your family about it! Let me pray for your small groups. Bow your heads! (Everyone bows their heads.) God, thank You for sending angels to serve us when we choose to follow Jesus. In Jesus’ name, amen. OK, open up your eyes and have a good talk in your small group. Stay with your leader until you get checked out!
