March - Week One
What’s the Big Deal About Sin?
Am I Really a Sinner?
Memory Verse:
For all have sinned and fall short of the
glory of God. Romans 3:23
Monday:
Read Romans 3:23. How many people have sinned?
_________________
This is a verse that is part of the ‘Romans Road’, which is a
list of some verses from the book
of Romans that can be used to tell someone about how they can
become a Christian (google
it ;-)!). This is actually the first verse of the Romans Road.
Can you think of why this may be
important enough to put first?

Tuesday:
Reread the memory verse for this week. So if we are asking the
question, “Am I really a sin-
ner?’ this week, our memory verse should pretty much answer that
question for us, right?
YES! We have all sinned. What are some sins that kids your age
do?_____________________

Wednesday:
Read Romans 3:10. How many are
righteous?_______________________________________
Not even one. Do you know what the word ‘righteous’ means?
Webster’s dictionary defines
this as: Acting in accord with a divine or moral law; to be free
from guilt or sin.
So this is another verse explaining that we are not perfect. We
are sinful. All of us. This is a
problem! If you think about it though, is it possible for us to
be sinless?__________________
Why or why
not?______________________________________________________________

Thursday:
Read Hebrews 4:14-16. Here’s the really cool thing, even though
we are ALL sinners, there was one
human here on earth that never sinned! Who was
that?___________________________________
Yes, Jesus! Verse 15 talks about how Jesus, even being sinless,
as he lived here on earth was able to
feel every emotion and physical pain we have felt so that he can
sympathize with us and know how
we feel. We have a God that loved us so much that He gave us
Someone that can identify with us.

Friday:
Read Romans 5:8. This is the second verse in the Romans Road.
Even though we are sinners, God
showed us how much He loved us by allowing Christ to die for us.
He died for the sins of His chil-
dren before they were even physically created. He died for the
sins we have already done and the
ones we haven’t yet. How does that make you feel about Jesus
dying on the cross?_____________

March - Week Two
What’s the Big Deal About Sin?
Is It Really Sin if You Don’t Know It is?
Memory Verse:
So it is a sin for the person who knows
to do what is good and doesn’t do it.
James 4:17
Monday:
Read the story in Genesis 3:1-19. That is probably a pretty
familiar story. What was the sin in this
story?___________________________________________________________________________
God had already told them not to eat the fruit, but the serpent
(Satan) convinced them it was ok.
There was also a lot of blame going on. Adam blamed Eve. Eve
blamed the Serpent. Bottom line,
they were both responsible for their sin.
PRAYER TIME: Using the letters A-C-T-S we will be writing a
prayer each day. They can be as long or

Tuesday:
OK, so thinking about the story yesterday about Adam and Eve,
can you think of a time when you
did something wrong and you knew it was wrong? This week we will

Thursday:
Read James 4:17. This is today’s memory verse. Can you think of
a situation where knowing this
verse would come in
handy?__________________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________________________________

it, that is a sin. But there is good
news you will learn about tomorrow!

Friday:
Read 1 John 1:9. This is the good news! Although there may be
consequences for sins, when we
confess our sins to God, He is faithful and just to forgive us
our sins. Listen, we are human, we are
going to sin, but it is such good news and comforting that we
have a God that understands and for-
gives us! Take some time right now to ask God to forgive you of
something you have done wrong
and then thank Him for forgiving you and loving you.

Story Time! How Can You Know God’s Love
“There is a God in Heaven who loves you as you are and not as
you should be.”
Yes...you are right...there is a God. You know that must be
true. The heart of the hu-man being longs for God, and logic
demands divine existence.
While everyone believes God is...most sense separation from God.
We know God must be holy and good. We see ourselves as unholy and
not good. We conclude that God is angry with us and we cannot know
Him.
Good News! This Testament of God’s love is His Word to tell us
that He loves us as we are. That love will save us from our sin and
make us what we should be as God’s chil-dren.
John 3:16
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son,
that whoever be-lieves in Him shall not perish, but have eternal
life.”
We hear Jesus say, “God so loved the world”. God’s love has no
limitations. He loves “so” more than we can imagine. He loves
everyone—not just some ones.
Romans 5:8 tell us that God loved us so that “When we were in
our sin Christ Jesus came to die for us.”
-
11
Romans 3:23
“for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”
This verse tells us that all people have sinned. We have fallen
short of God’s intended
purpose for us. God made us to know Him...to receive His love
and to love Him in re-
turn.
For love to be love...for God to be God...and for humans to be
humans...God gave us a
choice. We can choose to love ourselves and turn to our selfish
pursuits. That is sin. In
our sin we cannot know God and His love.
The result of sin is that we are lost...separated from God.
Romans 6:23
“For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is
eternal life in Christ Jesus our
Lord.”
Wages are just payment...due reward...what one has coming
because of labor. The
just payment for our sin is death.
Death here means spiritual death. When we are still in our sin,
we have no life with
God. We are alive physically but dead spiritually. If we
continue in that condition, we
will be separated from God for all eternity.
The wages of sin is death, but God’s free gift is eternal life.
While wages are earned, a
gift is offered...no strings attached. God says He will give us
eternal life—life with
Him—in the place of sin’s payment of death.
How can God remain true to His holiness and forgive unholy
sinners? Because Jesus,
His Son, has paid the price for sin by His death on the
cross.
2 Corinthians 5:21 says, “He who knew no sin became sin for us,
that we may be
made the righteousness of God through Him.”

March - Week Three
What’s the Big Deal About Sin?
Can I Do Something So Bad It’ll Keep Me Out of Heaven?
Memory Verse:
Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be
forgiven him. Matthew 12:32
Monday:
Read John 10:27-28. This week’s question is one that Christians
ask all the time. Even though we
may see sins as one being worse than another, did you know that
to God they are all the same? As
a believer, we heard Jesus calling to us and we followed Him. He
gave us eternal life and NO ONE
can be snatched out of His hand. His words, not mine!
PRAYER TIME: Using the letters A-C-T-S we will be writing a
prayer each day. They can be as long or
short as you would like. Remember to take time to look back on

Tuesday:
Read John 10:29-30. This is a continuation of the verses from
yesterday. God is greater than all.
What is something familiar in these verses compared to the ones
that we read yesterday?
____________________________________________________________________________
We read last week in 1 John 1:9 that even though God is a just
God, He is also righteous and He will
forgive our sins. There was no limit placed on sins that said He
would only forgive some or only for-
give you so many times. These verses remind us that we are in
His hand for good!

Wednesday:
Now read John 5:24. I love those words, ‘I assure you’. It is
like hearing, ‘I promise’. God promises
us, He assures us that we will not be judged. When we ask God to
forgive us, He doesn’t look at us
and say, “Well, what were you thinking??” He forgives us, AND
forgets about it!

Thursday:
So we have gone over the fact that it doesn't matter what you
do, if you are a Christian, you are
His! No matter what. There is nothing you can do that is so bad
that He takes that away from you.
Read John 14:6. When you believed in Jesus and became a
Christian, He promised that He is the
way to Heaven. God is in heaven. You will be with Him there.
What question will you ask Him when
you get
there?_____________________________________________________________________

Friday:
Ok, one more thing about sin. I mentioned this on Wednesday.
Read Psalm 103:12. Transgressions
is another word for sins. Where does this verse say our sins
have gone?_______________________
As far as the east is from the west. Do east and west ever
meet?_______. No. After He forgives us
God forgets about them and so should we. Don’t let Satan tell
you to dwell on your sin. Plan to not
do the same sin again and move on!

Story time continued from page 11
Jesus arose from the grave to conquer sin and death for all who
receive Him as God’s free gift.
How can you receive God’s free gift of love and life?
Romans 10:9-10
“that if you confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord, and believe
in your heart that God raised Him
from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person
believes, resulting in righteousness,
and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.”
A person receives God’s free gift of love and life by placing
faith in Jesus Christ. To believe is simply
to take God at His word. With our heart (whole believing) we
believe that Jesus is God’s Son who
died for our sin on the cross and arose from the grave to live
in us as Savior and Lord.
TO believe in Jesus will result in confessing that faith with
one’s mouth.
DO you acknowledge that you are a sinner?
DO you believe by faith that Jesus, God’s Son, died for your sin
on the cross?
Will you now confess Him as your Savior and Lord?
Romans 10:13
“for Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be
saved.”
This verse says that any person who will call upon the name of
Jesus, the Lord, shall be saved.
-
17
To call means simply to ask in prayer. The verse does not
require one to know more...do
better...clean up one’s life...or in any way try to add to what
Jesus has done for us.
Will you now call upon Jesus to save you from your sin so that
you can know God’s love and for-
giveness?
Pray like this: “Dear God, I confess that I am a sinner, and I
am sorry. I need a Savior. I know I
cannot save myself. I believe by faith that Jesus, your Son,
died on the cross to be my Savior. I
believe He arose from the grave to live as my Lord. I turn from
my sin. I ask You, Lord Jesus, to
forgive my sin and come into my heart. I trust you as my Savior
and receive you as my Lord.
Thank you Jesus for saving me.”
When anyone calls on the Lord in this manner, that one is saved
according to God’s Word. If you
pray a prayer of repentance and faith, you are saved. You have
God’s word on it.
If you have prayed this prayer to receive Christ as your Lord
and Savior, why not record your de-
cision to follow Jesus as follows. Often times, a good place to
write this would be inside the cov-
er of your bible:
Believing by faith that God loves me and sent His Son, Jesus
Christ, to die for my sin and arose
from the grave to live in me, I, __________________________
(enter your name), do this day
______________________________ (Enter the date), repent of my
sin and accept Jesus Christ
as my personal Lord and Savior.
According to the promise of God in Romans 10:13, I have called
upon His name and have His
word for the assurance of my salvation.

for sin. According to these verses,
what have our iniquities

deal? What damage can sin do?_______

Wednesday:
You may hear the words at church that ‘sin separates you from
God’ and we learned yesterday
that, yes, sin can create a barrier between you and God. When we
are to be working on keeping
our life holy and blameless, sin can definitely get in the way.

sin?____________________________________________________

Thursday:
Read Romans 6:14-15. What are we not supposed to let sin
do?_____________________________
Read Ephesians 2:8. What have we been saved
by?_______________________________________
Go back to Romans 6:14-15. Knowing that we have been saved by
grace, meaning it was a gift from God and we did nothing to deserve
it, these verses in Romans tell us that even though the law says
not to sin, is that the reason we should not sin? No, it is because
God loved us so much that He showed grace to us when He allowed
Jesus to die so our sins would be forgiven. Because we should be
thankful for this precious gift, grateful even, in honor of what
Jesus did for us we should want to choose not to sin.

Friday:
The grapple question this week has been argued for years. How
can our sins be forgiven before I have even done them yet or before
I was even born? And if they are all forgiven anyways then why does
it matter? Well, has anyone ever told you to be thankful for what
you have? Is there anything you can personally do to have your sins
forgiven? Do you want your sins to build a barrier between you and
God? It’s really your decision.

Spring Grapple Memory Verses
February - Boy Meets Girl
1. Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to
Our likeness. They will rule the fish of the sea, the birds of the
sky, the livestock, all the earth, and the creatures that crawl on
the earth.” Genesis 1:26
2. Love is patient, love is kind. Love does not envy, is not
boastful, is not conceited, does not act improperly, is not
selfish, is not provoked, and does not keep a record of wrongs.
Love finds no joy in unrighteousness but rejoices in the truth. It
bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures
all things. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7
3. Do not be mismatched with unbelievers. For what partnership
is there between right-eousness and lawlessness? Or what fellowship
does light have with darkness? 2 Corinthians 6:14
4. Therefore, be imitators of God, as dearly loved children. And
walk in love, as the Messiah also loved us and gave Himself for us,
a sacrificial and fragrant offering to God. Ephesians 5:1-2
March – What’s the Big Deal About Sin?
1. For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
Romans 3:23
2. So it is a sin for the person who knows to do what is good
and doesn’t do it. James 4:17
3. Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be
forgiven him. Matthew 12:32
4. The Counselor, the Holy Spirit - the Father will send Him in
My name
- will teach you all things and remind you of everything I have
told you. John 14:26
5. This is good, and it pleases God our Savior, who wants
everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 1
Timothy 2:3-4
April – What Really Matters
1. For am I now trying to win the favor of people, or God? Or am
I striving to please peo-ple? If I were still trying to please
people, I would not be a slave of Christ. Galatians 1:10
2. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience,
kindness, goodness, faith, gentle-ness, self-control. Against such
things there is no law. Galatians 5:22-23
3. But have nothing to do with irreverent and silly myths.
Rather, train yourself in godliness, for the training of the body
has a limited benefit, but godliness is beneficial in every way,
since it holds promise for the present life and also for the life
to come. 1 Timothy 4:7-8
4. I know both how to have a little, and I know how to have a
lot. In any and all circumstanc-es I have learned the secret of
being content—whether well fed or hungry, whether in abundance or
in need. I am able to do all things through Him who strengthens me.
Philip-pians 4:12-13
