Keeping Kids Interested in Church
The goal of this lesson is get kids to realize: 1. The Bible is primarily a book about LOVE. 2. That they’re relationship with God is as unique as they are. However they relate to and worship God is OK. They do not need to fit into a “cookie-cutter” mold of what a “Christian” is supposed to look like. They were created especially like they are to have a special relationship with God unique to them.
Kids are very self conscious and want to fit in. It can be confusing for them to see someone in a worship service raising their hands, singing with eyes closed, in rapt spirituality when they don't feel that way. It's tough when parents insist they stand and sing when they don't want too. They need to understand that it's OK to worship in different ways. This is a good lesson for boys especially to show them that it is OK to love God in masculine ways.

Judging v.s. Judgmental also known as "Hippo-grits"
Many kids have heard the excuse “the church is full of hypocrites” leveled by their friends who don’t attend. Sometimes, in order to counteract looking hypocritical, a Christian will choose to suspend making any judgments at all. This Christian is easy prey to false teachers because they neglected to “judge” what their are hearing against the Word of Truth.
This is a good follow up lesson to “The Beauty Inside” where we talked about judging others on inner beauty or outward appearances. The kids
asked to look into this subject of judging in more detail.
