Devotions: It Didn't Really Matter

Share this healthy attitude with your Sunday School, Bible Study and Kids Club children.

The Kids from OUR Church had a really hard project.
Their leader Pastor Stone told them to go out and find a practical way to be servants.
“I want you to be Jesus in the city for the next two hours,” he said.

“If Jesus were here, what would he do?”

Figure out how he would help people.”
Two hours later the kids returned to the pastor’s living room to report on their work.


..they had gone to THE OTHER Church to ask the pastor if he knew someone who needed help.
The pastor sent them to the home of an elderly woman who needed yard work done.

There, for two hours, they mowed grass, raked the yard and trimmed hedges.

When they were ready to leave, the woman called the group together and thanked them for their hard work.

“I don’t know how I would get along without you,” she told them.

“You kids at THE OTHER Church are always coming to my rescue.”

“THE OTHER Church!” exclaimed Pastor Stone.

“I sure hope you told her you were from OUR Church.”
“No. we didn’t.” the kids said.

“We didn’t think it mattered.”

These kids understood more than their pastor.
Did you?

OUR CHURCH kids knew to give praise and glory to God
- not to use it for their own ‘good name.’
