DOUBLE DOG DARE: A 4-WEEK SERIES ON NOAH, BABEL, ABRAHAM, LOT
WEEK 1 BIG IDEA: We can obey God even when others don't. 

SERIES OVERVIEW:

“I double dog dare you!” Those five words can either make us really nervous or make us really brave. In this series, we’re not talking about the kind of dares that challenge you to drink a liquified Happy Meal or lick a frozen telephone pole. We’re talking about a better kind of dare — the kind of dare God gives us when He calls us to do something big and bold in His name. In this 4-week series from the book of Genesis, kids will hear the stories of people who responded to God’s call with either fear or courage. They’ll be challenged to obey God even when others aren’t, to obey God by putting Him first, to obey God even when they don’t understand, and to obey God by turning away from sin.

Let kids hear their name spoken out loud this week. Whether you're praying for them, encouraging them, or even letting them hear you saying good things about them to others! Hearing their name is a game changer for kids and shows them they're valuable.  

If you're subscribed to Grow Your Ministry, now would be a good time to attach Volunteer Tip Video #6 from your Volunteer section.
