Do you see me as small? Start Finish Do a google search of the phrase Stamp of King Saul to see different stamps created in his name. Even if I am young I can do big things. For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11 Take on a job this week that is not normally yours, like washing the dishes every day, or some other work for your parents that is not your regular responsibility. Watch God help you do big things. 2

4 The case of the missing corpse I need help! Start on the white square and then go to the black square touching it. Then go white, black, white, and so forth. (Do not go corner to corner.) I brought this from my garden. CHRIST CROSS DEATH LIFE SAVIOR RISEN DISCIPLE BELIEVE SURPRISE GUARD MORNING C R I S C U B S C R I H E I R S E U H I C I R G O D L R R S U S D I S C I P L E A T Y E S U E R S N R O R E N T V I T O D E A T H S E S B B R F M A I A L E M O A U E L L V O L O Y U N V A L I F E T S G N I N R O M P E R A Y L T O R M E N T Z O B S U E P R I S MARY FEAR TOMB EMPTY Do a search on Wikipedia of The Garden Tomb to see pictures of where many believe to be the tomb where our Lord Jesus Christ was buried and resurrected. God is still faithful when I feel like everything has gone wrong. God, who has called you into fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful. I Corinthians 1:9 3 Tell someone about a time that looked like it was going badly for you, but it all turned out well. God taught you important things because of it.

5 The case of the man thrown overboard Where do we go from here? W M S S E N E V I G R O F O I I N J O N A N L E B S O S N O I B P F J I P E T S S E D F G I Z E V E D O H I R E S S H E V E N I N J O N A H T S T I L T E A E N I L Q O S A I L A N I S A I L O R S T O M A C H U R G I V M I S I O R E G S Y H T A R S U S B O A T JONAH FISH TARSUS NINEVEH EVIL STOMACH SAILORS SHIP WIND STORM NIGHT REPENT MISSIONARY OBEDIENCE FORGIVENESS Let s go swimming. Look on google maps to find Jaffa Port, Israel to see what Jaffa looks like today, the place where Jonah climbed onto the boat to Nineveh. When I see my sin I should repent and stop it. Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord, Acts 3:19 This week be extra sensitive to something wrong that you say or do that you are ashamed of, and wouldn t want to see in a public video. Repent. Ask God to help you to think first and STOP before doing it again. 4

6 The case of the anonymous helper Start here. Pictured here, the old path from Jerusalem to Jericho, where our victim would have been walking. Do a search on Wikipedia of Jericho to see how many kilometers distance the walk was from Jericho to Jerusalem. Entrada L H E L P E R V I C O A Q A J E R I K O V E W S E X O T I I E B E A T I N G N N I S C M I F E N D E O S L A V O I S N T H F O R E I G N E R C K T I L G H I S E I I H T O N B O S P R N I A V E O C Z X E D N N F R R O B E J O G R O B B E R S EXPERT LAW SAMARITAN KINDNESS HELPER NEIGHBOR ROBBERS CLOTHING LEVITE BEATING JERICHO FOREIGNER COINS LOVE Will you be my neighbor? Like the Good Samaritan, I need to be kind to everyone. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? Matthew 5:46 5 Pick someone who isn t a friend and reach out to them in a friendly way. You could invite them to play with you after school, or call to them to come and sit by you at lunch time.

7 The case of the hangman s noose I lost my place. - Go in the direction of the arrow. - Choose which way you want to go ( ). - Continue in the direction you are already going. Do not turn.

Find the Hadish Palace on google maps and look at the pictures from this archeological cal site from the time of Esther. I am a king in love. God will sometimes ask me to be very bold and to risk important things for His sake. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrifi ed; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. Joshua 1:9 God may have chosen me to save others, and put me here for such a time as this. Tell a neighbour that you are a Christian and ask if they would like to go to church with you next week. 6

8 The case of the altered health evidence LEPER HEALTH HEALING CHRIST PRIEST JERUSALEM OBEDIENCE THANKS GRATEFULNESS FOREIGNER What leprosy actually looks like.

Do not turn. Hey, look, I can dance! Like the Lepers, I need to say, Thank you to God for what he has done for me. Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God s will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 7 Make a list of three things that you haven t thought to thank Him for yet. The things we are normally thankful for are food, clothing, and family. Have your students think of new ideas to be thankful for; things like: helping you find a lost item, holding the rain back until you are safely inside at school, riding your bike without falling down once today, having the ability to say only nice things to your brother or sister today, etc.

9 The case of the appearing puppies The Bible mentions that the garden of Eden was located between the rivers Tigris and Euphrates. Do a search on google maps to find these rivers and see what countries they cross. CREATE MOON LAKE GOD SUN FISH BIRD RIVER EVE ADAM MOUNTAIN STARS TREES SIX DAYS B E G I N N I M A N U R L F S F O O D S R A I Q U O T U E I D S F V N O A N E N H L A K E D C T R S C A N D C R E A T E R S T A R S V I R C E A S Y A I E N E T A P D S T X Q B E S T S H A R K S U S A I E C I M A N G I N O S E V E N O S Z D N A B I R D M O O S Look up close! Start on the white square and then go to the black square touching it. Then go white, black, white, and so forth. (Do not go corner to corner.) Then God made the frogs. Like Adam, I am responsible to take care of creation around me. God blessed them and said to them... Rule over the fi sh of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground. Genesis 1:28b Water a plant in your yard and remove bad weeds from around it, so it will grow better. 8

Can you find the figure that is exactly the opposite of the three figures in the box below? Draw a line between each pair. Is there an app for that? Here is a photo of Capernaum today. Do on search on google maps to find what lake is found there. Like the Centurion, my faith can change things for those who are not near me. When Jesus heard this, he was amazed at him, and turning to the crowd following him, he said, I tell you, I have not found such great faith even in Israel. Luke 7:9 9 Write a note to a friend or relative and ask how they are doing and if you could pray about something for them.

Look on google maps to find the museum, then go inside and look at the panorama pictures available. God wants us to always tell the truth. Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices. Colossians 3:9 13 Think about a lie that you have said. Chose not to continue making that lie to others anymore. Take a small piece of paper, and write that lie down. Write down a prayer on the note, asking God to help you no longer make that lie. Take the paper outside of your house and bury it.

15 The case of the strange nightmares Please don t hurt me, I am only trying to help.

If they were all one part, where would the body be? I Corinthians 12:18-19 Make a list of three people you know and how God has gifted them with talents, abilities, or strengths that are different than yours. Pray and ask God to help you to not be jealous of their gifts. 14
