"Good Vibes" is a series exploring God's true definition of goodness—far beyond the absence of bad—by looking at creation, a teachable heart, God's perfect love as a Father, and the saving goodness of Jesus. This series is a part of the Lift Curriculum for Children's and Preschool ministries.

Details

In partnership with Lift Curriculum, DYM now provides Lift Curriculum for Children's & Preschool Ministries (PreK-5th Grade)

Lift is a Christ-Centered Children’s Ministry curriculum. This means that Jesus is central to every lesson. Whether we begin with an Old Testament story, a New Testament passage, or a lesson based on a topic, all paths lead to Jesus. Each story is told, and each lesson delivered, with the purpose of promoting and glorifying Christ in the minds and hearts of students.

John 12:32 - And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.

Lift The Name Of Jesus

Lift Curriculum exists to lift Jesus up before children with every lesson, in the belief that if we do so, he will draw all people to himself. This means that the self-sacrificial love, goodness, grace, and beauty of Christ are put on display, as we explore how He is the main character and event of the Bible.

Jesus Every Week

We want to help you lift up the name of Jesus every week. If a child only comes to church once, we want to make sure they hear about Jesus.

Every series includes everything you need to program your kids' ministry program. This includes curriculum, games, worship, object lesson videos and Bible story videos. But we don't leave you to fend for yourself. We also equip you with a scope & sequence to follow and easy to navigate lesson folders so you know exactly what lesson to teach and what videos to use every single week.

Good Vibes

Series 4 of 12 in Lift Curriculum Year 1

Each month will now include a preschool lesson that matches the theme of the Elementary lesson and can be used throughout the month.

Preschool Main Idea: A Teachable heart is good soil for God’s word.

Preschool Bible Story: Matthew 13, Parable Of The Sower

ELEMENTARY LESSON: 

MEMORY VERSE:  

“Here is something I am still sure of I will see the Lord’s goodness while I’m still alive.” Psalm 27:13 (NIRV)

God’s Goodness is Greater than “Good.”

Synopsis: When we say “good,” we are often only referring to the absence of “bad."  But when the Bible says Good, it is talking about awesome creations, selfless deeds, and acts of love and kindness. After a quick look at how the word “Good” is used in Genesis 1, we will learn what Jesus says it looks like for us to be good.
Scripture: Genesis 1, Good from the Get-Go
Worship Songs: Monumental God, I've Got The Joy, Goodness of God
Game Video: What's Under The Leaves
Bible Story Video: What's Good?

A Teachable heart is good soil for God’s word.

Synopsis: In the Parable of the Sower, seeds falls upon different types of soil; hard, shallow, thorny, and good. Only the seeds in the good soil successfully sprouted and grew. When we follow Jesus, we want the seed of God’s word to grow and thrive in our lives. We want to be like the good soil. But how do we do that? We will explore the properties of good soil in contrast to the three examples of bad soil.
Scripture: Matthew 13, Parable Of The Sower
Worship Songs: Monumental God, I've Got The Joy, Ever Be
Game Video: Turkey Shuffle
Bible Story Video: Parable Of The Sower

Jesus Assures Us that God is Good.

Synopsis: In Matthew, Jesus almost exclusively uses the word “Father” when referring to God. And in chapter seven, Jesus asserts that God is not just a Father, but a good one. In fact, he is far better than any earthly father could ever be! In spite of this, we sometimes struggle to embrace God’s goodness. We will spend some time recognizing God’s goodness, and thanking Him for the good things that he provides.
Scripture: Matthew 7:7-12, Snakes and Stones
Worship Songs: Goodness of God, Ever Be, Great Things 
Game Video: 1 Minute Madness: Thanksgiving
Bible Story Video: Your Heavenly Father

We are Saved by the Goodness of Jesus.

Synopsis: By all earthy standards, the rich, young ruler was good. He had youth, money, influence, and authority. Those are all good things. He collapsed at the feet of Jesus, asking “Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” From here, the young man’s story goes downhill. He asserts and defends his own goodness, ultimately learning that his goodness wasn’t good enough. Our goodness is never good enough. We can only be saved by the goodness of Jesus.
Scripture: Joshua 24:1-15 Joshua's Farewell.
Worship Songs: Goodness of God, Great Things, King of My Heart
Game Video: 1 Minute Madness: Christmas
Bible Story Video: Rich Young Ruler
