* The Wise Man Build His House on Rock is a good song to use.

God wants us to listen and obey.

Joshua chapter 24 verse 24”

*Lets say the Verse youtook home last week.

Did you stick it on the mirror or fridge and learn it?

Show Verse book – Read two verses.

Show Big Book:The Two Builders By Jill Kemp.

Lambsongs – New Testament

This is a story Jesus told people.

Talk about the story as you turn pages.

Then Act out story:

* A good builder found a rock.

Let children hold a rock – it is heavy!

It is strong.

Put into a flattish container with an edge:

  • The good builder worked hard.
  • He found a rock to build his house on.

Put a rock with a house (blocks, boxes whatever you have) securely glued on top.

  • It was hard work climbing up the rock to build the house but he wanted it strong and safe.

*The other builder was in a hurry to build his house. He didn’t take care. It would be easier to build on a flat sandy place.

In the same container make a pile of sand (Damp sticks together better.) Pat it flat – children have a turn. Put a “house” on top of the sand.

Using a watering can etc. pour water on the into the container and see the sand float away and the house fall down.Re build the sand so everyone can be involved.

*The house on the rock is safe!

God’s words make me grow strong like a house built on a big rock.

Planted by a river

Bearing fruit forever

Roots down deep in the soil of Your love

Raindrops glisten on the leaves above

rain

A welcome home for the heavenly dove

Make me like a tree

wave arms overhead

Planted by the river of lifes

snakelike motion with hand
