GameLife 1-2-3 teaches the way Jesus taught using life-experiences so learners have an “aha moment.”  GameLife 123 moves from Bible history, to Biblical Principles, and does not stop until there is true Christ-within life transformation as spoken of in Matthew 13:31.

¹⁸ And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 

¹⁹ Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 

²⁰ teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”  Matthew 28:18-20

Game: “Net Tag”
[The game is not over until everyone is caught in the net]

Discover God’s Eternal Truth: Creation to Christ

Discover God’s Truth from this passage: Matthew 28:18-20, Matthew 24:14
[In the Bible, Jesus states it is not over until everyone is caught in the net]

1. Heart: Ask, Children will you obey God’s truth? (an obedient heart set is vital: Daniel 1:8, 10:12, Ezra 7:10, Colossians 3:2)

2. Mind: Ask questions to lead to the “aha moment” and “now I understand”
– Game questions: (“How did you catch everyone?” “I started with … just one!”)
– Bible questions: (“How do you disciple an entire nation?” “Start with … just one!”)
That sounds just like what we discovered today in the Bible!
– Life questions: (“How do I start making disciples?” “Start with my life: prayer, speak the truth, grow in Christ through Bible study, and training others to do the same.  Remember “Mangos” Prepare, Plant, Nurture, & Multiply) 

3. Soul: Pray in the manner “Boys & girls repeat after me, God thank you for >this truth< show me how you want to obey [pause at least 10 seconds allowing the Holy Spirit to speak to each child’s heart], Jesus I yield to you live out this truth in my life, amen.”

[In my life, I can pray for all nations, I can seek to reach all nations, starting with just one]

³ Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

¹⁰ “For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return there but water the earth, making it bring forth and sprout, giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater, ¹¹ so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.
Isaiah 55:10-11

Game: “Race with Penalty”
[The game has a penalty if the runners do not meet the standard.  The Coach pays the players’ penalty]

Discover God’s Eternal Truth: Creation to Christ

Discover God’s Truth from this passage: John 3:1-16
[In the Bible, it states in Romans 3:23 “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” No one meets God’s standard of Holiness until Jesus takes our penalty upon himself]

1. Heart: Ask, Children will you obey God’s truth? (an obedient heart set is vital: Daniel 1:8, 10:12, Ezra 7:10, Colossians 3:2)

2. Mind: Ask questions to lead to the “aha moment” and “now I understand”
– Game questions: (“What was the penalty for not reaching the standard?” “The penalty was 10 pushups, but the Coach paid our penalty”)
That sounds just like what we discovered today in the Bible!
– Bible questions: (“Can anyone reach God’s standard of Holiness” “Only Jesus and Jesus paid my penalty”)
– Life questions: (“Have I been born into God’s family, have I received the free gift of salvation by faith?” “Yes, and now I am blessed to share this with others”)

3. Soul: Pray in the manner “Boys & girls repeat after me, God thank you for >this truth< show me how you want to obey [pause at least 10 seconds allowing the Holy Spirit to speak to each child’s heart], Jesus I yield to you live out this truth in my life, amen.”

[In my life, I can point people to Jesus, the only perfect man, God’s Son, who paid the penalty for their sins.]

Extra Bold Challenge: Post online with the “hashtag” #CreationToChristHandMotions and share your story.

Share “My Story”
Can I quickly share with you my story…
1. Thumbs Down. My life could have been described as… (share what you life was like without Christ: empty, sinful, lack of peace, no purpose etc..).

2. Thumbs Up. But now my life can be described as… (share what your life is like now with Christ: full of joy, full of peace, happiness, not perfect, yet forgiven, a direction and a purpose etc.…).

3. Hands Up Palms facing (making a “GAP”). The “gap between my life before and my life now is when by God’s grace, I was introduced to Jesus… Share your personal experience.

4. Important, before they say anything quickly ask “Do you have a story like that?”
“Yes” invite them to your church or weekly gathering.
“No” ask them if you can share with them God’s Creation to Christ true story from the Bible?

¹⁶ All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, ¹⁷ that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.  2 Timothy 3:16-17

¹⁰ For Ezra had set his heart to study the Law of the Lord, and to do it and to teach his statutes and rules in Israel.  Ezra 7:10

“The Mustard Seed” (What shall I compare the Kingdom of God? It is like… Luke 13:18. Know how the Kingdom of God Grows.)

Testimony: Jefe/Cuba (“Why do you use GameLife 123?” “The children remember God’s truth because they experience and begin living out God’s truth”)

Warning! Paul himself speaks of disqualification in 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 (Paul’s own teaching is very clear that salvation is a gift, not something that comes as a result of strenuous effort – Ephesians 2:8–9. The prize Paul is running for is the crown of recognition from Christ that he has served well at the Bema Seat) Revelation 22:12 https://bible.org/article/doctrine-rewards-judgment-seat-bema-christ

Game: “Target the Target”
[The game had one player that called out corrections to the blindfolded tosser]

Discover God’s Eternal Truth: Creation to Christ

Discover God’s Truth from this passage: 2 Timothy 3:16, 1 Corinthians 13:12
[In the Bible, the Bible “calls out to us” when we need correction]

1. Heart: Ask, Children will you obey God’s truth? (an obedient heart set is vital: Daniel 1:8, 10:12, Ezra 7:10, Colossians 3:2)

2. Mind: Ask questions to lead to the “aha moment” and “now I understand”
– Game questions: (“Why was it necessary to have someone call out corrections to the blindfolded tosser?” “The blindfolded player needed help needed to make corrections”)
That sounds just like what we discovered today in the Bible!
– Bible questions: (“The Bible says we only understand spiritual truth like looking through dark glass, how can we see better?” “When we read the Bible it will correct us even though we see dimly”)
– Life questions: (“Do you read the Bible?” “Yes/No” [many children do not read the Bible pray about how you might encourage them to read the Bible and memorize the Bible.])

3. Soul: Pray in the manner “Boys & girls repeat after me, God thank you for >this truth< show me how you want to obey [pause at least 10 seconds allowing the Holy Spirit to speak to each child’s heart], Jesus I yield to you live out this truth in my life, amen.”

[In my life, I can read the Bible to find corrections and training for my life.]
