A better way to teach the Fruit of the Spirit to kids! 

God’s word is the perfect plan God designed for teaching us.

Hi from Pakistan... Plz pray for my country

Thank you.

When I taught Sunday School I taught a Fruit of the Spirit song but also went through the practical and explained it in terms they could understand like you're talking about in that book. I wondered if they truly got it past the time we had in class but when I had parents talk to me later I found out that yes even 2-5yr olds could get it when broken down into life applicable language at their age level. Even with the song to help memorize the verse they can still pick up the life application if done right. I found over the years that the kids that picked up the most were the ones with parents that also taught them not just the teacher on Sunday mornings. Just as with us if we only learn on Sun then we don't pick up enough to see full change.

This message is also uplifting for 65-year-old “kids” like me!

reminds me of Psalm 1:3 That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither- whatever they do prospers.

greetings from Miami Florida I appreciate your time in making this video. I've learned that our children need a better understanding of the fruit of the Spirit 🙂 God bless you momma.

I am in South Africa and just started with kids church … this is so relatable

I found your video yesterday. Bought the book suggested. Arrived today and read to my 7 year old who is talking about God a lot. Awesome suggestion. Thank you!

Thank God Amen 🙏 ❤

Thank you. Sometimes we forget that this generation of children is very different. We can use the same concept but add a different application. This is so good. I used this in my children's church class and the attention was overwhelming. Visual grabs attention, which we want for the children to grasp God's love.

Greetings from Lagos Nigeria, thank you, Christy, this is a good lesson

Bless you in the name of Jesus Christ

Soooo blessed, have a teaching in the morning...

I love this! thank you!

❤Amen ❤😊

Wow dear sister. Thank you so much.

This is so good... thank you!!!

Trees and fruits are visual aids for anyone(literate or illiterate, young and old) for any lesson. Jesus used that a lot. By using visual aids(impressions), kids or even adults can relate to their own life. What we think, do and say has consequences. When it comes to choices : Actions can bring good/bad consequences, just as good/bad tree produces good/bad fruit. Most importantly is, what is the root taking in from the soil.

Subscriber here. Children’s minister here too!!

This is beautiful

Amazing!!!!

excellent

Showing fruits is confusing and make kids hungry as you say😄. It's about seeing it in your life(or others seeing it in your life) by asking Jesus to be born of the Spirit

you can do both.

really like this one! :) where you you record? its sooooo .... white. :P

Spiritual trees are not metaphors, they are actual trees, spiritual trees. Teaching is impossible if we don't fully grasp the topic we teach. If we detach from the tree and fruit idea we will end up teaching something that isn't real and cannot bear real fruit. Not that I'm suggesting focusing on physical fruit, nor am I against supplementing Scripture, but I'm against displacing Scripture. Daily example is the deepest and most effective way kids learn, so we should example trusting Scripture as it is written, and by putting our trust in Scripture we have made an effective choice. A quick example: joy is not like the feeling on a swing, that is fun and maybe happiness, but joy is present even when we are sad. We shouldn't dumb down teaching, rather we should smart up kids. We are Jesus' agriculture, this is a key topic, if we dodge it we lose our ability to teach many important parables. Beginning at toddler age there is plenty of opportunity to teach Christ and the basic idea of agriculture side by side. For the children! 😄 Much love♥️.
