Episode 4A: "It's Not About Me" Drama Characters Puppets Drama Story Blade Becky and Jimmy Blade deals with two children–one who thinks too highly of himself, and one who hates herself–and teaches them both that their focus shouldn't be on themselves, but rather on God. Memory Verse Bible Story Lesson Focus Game Matthew 16:24 Then Jesus said to His CD-ROMiples, "If anyone would come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me." "It's Not About Me:" Herod takes glory that belongs to God (adapted from Acts 12:20-23) Our view of ourselves should always be in the context of our relationship with God. Therefore, our focus shouldn't be on ourselves, but rather on God and on others. "Gust-O" Episode 4B: "Boastology" Drama Characters Puppets Drama Story Blade Bobby, Rob, and Dr. Deceit Blade's friends in Truthopolis have been falsely taught that boasting about themselves is good–until Blade shows them how we should REALLY boast. Memory Verse Bible Story Lesson Focus Game 1 Corinthians 1:31 Therefore, as it is written: "Let him who boasts boast in the Lord." “And the Glory Goes to...:” Nebuchadnezzar Learns a Lesson (adapted from Daniel chapters 1, 2, and 4) If there's anything good about ourselves, it was a gift from God. Therefore, any boasting we do should be about our awesome God–NOT about ourselves! "Hoop-La" Episode 4C: "Beauty is Fleeting" Drama Characters Puppets Drama Story Blade Arthur and Candy Candy is conceited about her good looks, relying on them to get her places. But, through a lesson in the fleeting seasonal beauty of trees, Blade teaches Candy that beauty is fleeting. Memory Verse Bible Story Lesson Focus Game Proverbs 31:30 [brackets added] Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman [or man] who fears the LORD is to be praised. “Queen Esther: Beauty that Lasts” (adapted from the book of Esther) Our outward charm and beauty won't last. We should concentrate on having a beautiful inner self through love and submission to God. "Atomic Clock" Episode 4D: "Exalting Humility" Drama Characters Puppets Drama Story Blade Rob and Bobby Rob is very conceited for having won a contest and thinks he's very great--until Blade teaches him what makes people great in GOD'S sight. Memory Verse Bible Story Lesson Focus Game Luke 14:11 For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted. "Humbly I Pray:" The prayers of the Pharisee and the tax collector (adapted from Luke 18:9-14) If you want to be great, you should be humble and be willing to serve others in love. "Ribbit / Mayhem" Episode 4E: "My Value to God" Drama Characters Puppets Drama Story Blade Jimmy and Bobby As Jimmy "helps" to keep Bobby humble by hurling insults at him, Blade teaches a balanced view of self from the Bible. Memory Verse Bible Story Lesson Focus Game Luke 12:7 Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. "A Shepherd Becomes King:" God chooses David (adapted from the book of 1 Samuel) Self-esteem shouldn't be our concern. By ourselves, we're not worth much. It's the touch of God's hand upon us and His love for us that gives us value. "Volley-Verse" Series 04: "Selfless Esteem" $35.00 (WebLink) Includes NIV, KJV, NKJV, NLT, ESV, and HCSB Bible versions.
