Hey Kids
This week is all about - How Gentleness bows and says, “yes Jesus I want what you want.” Self -control stops. This is what we do when we know, what we are going to do will hurt someone else or ourselves.

Tribe Kids Connect - What does the bible tell us about Gentleness and Self control?
Proverbs 16:19-20 It is better not to be proud and to be with those who suffer than to share stolen property with proud people. Whoever pays attention to what he is taught will succeed And whoever trusts the Lord will be happy.
Can you think when this kind of thing in verse 19 would happen? Can you see where we would use gentleness and self-control here?
Proverbs 23:1-5 If you sit down to eat with a ruler notice the food that is in front of you. 2 Control yourself if you have a big appetite. 3 Don’t be greedy for his fine foods. He might use that rich food to trick you. 4 Don’t wear yourself out trying to get rich. Be wise enough to control yourself. 5 Wealth can vanish in the wink of an eye. It seems to grow wings and fly away like an eagle in the sky.
Sometimes stopping is hard. What do you have trouble stopping over? Know that the Holy Spirit will always help us say no if we choose to listen.
Philippians 2:1-11 1. Does your life in Christ give you strength? Does his love comfort you? Do we share together in the Spirit? Do you have mercy and kindness? 2 If so, make me very happy by having the same thoughts, sharing the same love, and having one mind and purpose. 3 When you do things, do not let selfishness or pride be your guide. Be humble and give more honor to others than to yourselves. 4 Do not be interested only in your own life, but be interested in the lives of others. Be Unselfish Like Christ 5 In your lives you must think and act like Christ Jesus. 6 Christ himself was like God in everything. He was equal with God. But he did not think that being equal with God was something to be held on to. 7 He gave up his place with God and made himself nothing. He was born as a man and became like a servant. 8 And when he was living as a man, he humbled himself and was fully obedient to God. He obeyed even when that caused his death—death on a cross. 9 So God raised Christ to the highest place. God made the name of Christ greater than every other name. 10 God wants every knee to bow to Jesus—everyone in heaven, on earth, and under the earth. 11 Everyone will say, “Jesus Christ is Lord” and bring glory to God the Father.
Can you imagine what our world will be like when everyone will say “Jesus Christ is Lord” and bring glory to the father? What will be different? What will stay the same?
Romans 12:1-8 Give Your Lives to God
12 So brothers, since God has shown us great mercy, I beg you to offer your lives as a living sacrifice to him. Your offering must be only for God and pleasing to him. This is the spiritual way for you to worship. 2 Do not be shaped by this world. Instead be changed within by a new way of thinking. Then you will be able to decide what God wants for you. And you will be able to know what is good and pleasing to God and what is perfect. 3 God has given me a special gift. That is why I have something to say to everyone among you. Do not think that you are better than you are. You must see yourself as you really are. Decide what you are by the amount of faith God has given you. 4 Each one of us has a body, and that body has many parts. These parts all have different uses. 5 In the same way, we are many, but in Christ we are all one body. Each one is a part of that body. And each part belongs to all the other parts. 6 We all have different gifts. Each gift came because of the grace that God gave us. If one has the gift of prophecy, he should use that gift with the faith he has. 7 If one has the gift of serving, he should serve. If one has the gift of teaching, he should teach. 8 If one has the gift of encouraging others, he should encourage. If one has the gift of giving to others, he should give freely. If one has the gift of being a leader, he should try hard when he leads. If one has the gift of showing kindness to others, that person should do so with joy.
God wants you. He wants you to be the best ( Say your name) you can be. The kind of person that shares all that God has given you. This is what a living sacrifice is. In your everyday life, do you want to choose to be a living sacrifice? How does the Holy Spirit help you do this?
Pray that the Holy Spirit will guide us and that we will listen. help us to see and do what he has shown us to do. That we would be all that God wants for us. In Jesus name Amen
