COURAGE

Week 2

Truth to Teach (Source)

Joshua 1:9 ‘...Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged for

the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.’

1. To define courage (See definitions)

2. To show the children that although we face frightening situations from time to time,

God is with us at all times and will give us courage.

3. To look at the lives of people who show us how to respond when we are afraid.

4. To put the children into groups to begin their first in-depth study of a character trait.

Way to Work (Means)

1. Review the introductory lesson.

2. Read excerpts from a story of an explorer, eg. Christopher Columbus. Talk about the
fears he may have had and which character trait he would have especially needed.

3. Discuss what the children understand by courage and give opportunity for them to
share when they personally have needed courage.
