Learning to Be a Servant Leader through the life of Joseph

Main Point:  Servant Leaders are careful about what they say!

Bible Verse:  “He who guards his lips, guards his life, but he who speaks rashly will come to ruin.”  Proverbs 13:3

Bible Lesson:  God gave Joseph the ability to understand some special dreams telling how one day he would be a leader over his brothers.  (Genesis 37)  Joseph told the dreams to his brothers, causing anger.  Even though he was telling the truth, he wasn’t careful about how he said it.  God wants us to use words carefully.  Just because something is true doesn’t mean we have to say it.  We need to use our words to help people, not hurt them.  Servant leaders are careful about what they say!

 In our skit, Sprocket McKraken, the Director of the Starlight Station Resort tried a “Tell It Like It Is” style of leadership in his space hotel.  He told one of the workers he was smelly, and he told a guest that the brochure for the hotel did not specify that there would be hot water.  He did not solve their problems and he caused some new problems by hurting people.  He learned that just because something is true, does not mean it is helpful or should be said.  He learned that “Servant Leaders are Careful About What They Say!”

Early Childhood:  2 years - Kindergarten

“Encourage the timid, help the weak, be patient with everyone.”  I Thessalonians 5:14

Fourth and Fifth Grades:

Students will begin a unit on “Justice”.   They will  take part in activities to help them understand the difficulties faced by some people with disabilities.  They will read Psalm 146: 7-10 to identify the kinds of people God cares about.  They will study Mark 10 and Luke 18 to discover the difference between the crowd’s and Jesus’ treatment of Bartimaeus, who was blind.  Just and compassionate treatment of people with disabilities reflects God’s love.

Junior Church:  1st - 3rd Grades

Students will continue a unit on “Worship”  God created us in His image and we have an innate longing to worship.  Who, or what, is worshipped is a reflection of our fallen world.   God wants us to make praise and worship of Him a part of our daily life.

Power Point:  I join all creation in praising God.

Bible Lesson:  Jesus overturns the moneychangers tables, heals the lame and challenges the priests to let the children praise and worship him.

Scripture Memory:  “Let all things praise the name of the Lord, because they were created at his command.” 

Psalm 148: 5
