Give_Finish the Sng_Vide Give_Lg_Slide That was tns f fun, everyne! Christmas is knwn t be a seasn f giving. We ve been spending sme time talking abut that here at CF Kids Giving here, giving there, giving everywhere! And there is als a lt f getting. Getting here, getting there, getting everywhere! (Hst hlding up CD r cassette/whichever relates t the hst) Nw d any f yu knw what this is? N, it s nt a Blu-ray disc r an Xbx Game. This is a CD/cassette. Befre MP3s and itunes and Sptify streaming, this was hw I played music. They still sell sme f them tday, but when I was yur age, CDs/cassettes were the jam! I LOVED cllecting CDs/cassettes. I bet many f yu cllect smething. Wh here cllects smething r has cllected smething in the past? (Hand up.) What d yu cllect? (Wait fr respnse) Bks, Beanie-Bs, Pkémn, all srts f things yu guys cllect. But have yu ever seen smebdy wh nt nly cllects but REALLY cllects? Check ut these cllectins! Give_Tsum Tsum Cllectin_Slide Give_Pkemn Cards Cllectin_Slide Give_Barbie Cllectin_Slide Give_Lg_Slide Let s be hnest That last rm was a little creepy But all f thse pictures bring up a gd questin: when is enugh, enugh? When yu re cllecting smething, when has the cllectin gtten s big that yu n lnger need any mre f what yu re cllecting? Or des it never stp?

3 AND mre imprtant than that, we have t start wndering if it s pssible that the quest fr MORE might be keeping us frm smething mre imprtant. Let s find ut what ne writer f the Bible wanted us t knw abut Gd s plan fr ur stuff. Our Bible truth tday cmes frm the Gspel f Luke in the New Testament. Give_Lessn Give_Wk 2_Bible Stry_Vide Give_Lg_Slide Yu see, the man had wrked s hard at getting mre and mre and mre, and he never thught that maybe all f thse crps were nt just meant t make his life easier but that they culd be shared with thers. Instead f building bigger barns t stre mre than he culd pssibly EVER have used, he culd have given away all that he didn t have rm fr. He missed his chance t GIVE. Which brings us t ur Bttm Line fr tday! Give_Wk 2_Bttm Line_Slide Say it with me Dn t miss yur chance t give! Cllecting t much stuff desn t have t be grain... r CDs r tsum tsums, Pkemn cards, r Barbies. It can really be anything that we set ur sights n s hard that it starts t keep us frm giving t thers. When we cling t ur stuff s tightly, it can then be really difficult fr us give it away. S dn t miss yur chance t give! We prvide lts f pprtunities fr yu t give when yu cme t CF Kids. One f thse weekly pprtunities is ffering time. Give_Scrge_Slide Offering is a time fr us t give back t Gd because we re s thankful fr what He s given us. And the mre we give, the less we keep t urselves. Think abut the Christmas stry f Scrge. He had s much, and he kept wrking s hard t keep it all t himself. N gd. If we keep all the gd things fr urselves, is that ging t help thers in need? (Wait fr respnse) Think abut it anther way, what if yu were the ne in need and yu see smene wh can help. But instead, they chse t nly take care f themselves. Nt cl, right? Imagine if Gd knew that Jesus culd save us frm ur sins, but decided t nt send Him. Give_Game All f this sums up t ne wrd Genersity! Gd was s generus t us by sending a Savir. It was His perfect plan t send His ne and ONLY Sn t

4 save whever wuld believe frm their sin! And the crazy part is we did NOTHING t deserve it. If anything, we did TONS t NOT deserve it. Des anyne remember what genersity means? (Wait fr respnse) Give_Genersity_Slide Genersity is making smene s day by giving smething away! And here in the Way Statin, we dn t want t just hear whatever Gd is teaching us and leave it at church!
