God cares about what happens in school and not only in kid’s church.

Today’s topic is about winning at school. God cares about what happens in school, not only in kid’s church.

We Win at School When We Work Hard

This means that you do your homework, you turn in things on time, and you pay attention in class. God doesn’t want you to do nothing. God wants you to try your best. It makes God smile when you work hard.

Ephesians 6:7 Work with enthusiasm, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people.

You’ll be a winner every time you give your best effort.

We Win at School When We Respect Our Teachers

Disrespecting your teachers is like disrespecting God. Did you ever think about that? We should listen to our teachers and we should look for ways to help them.

We Win at School When We Follow the Rules

Rules are like fences by the highway. They keep you from wandering onto a dangerous road.

You have to follow the rules in order to win at school. Do you know someone at your school who doesn’t follow the rules or is disobedient? They’re trouble, so watch out!

Here’s the bottom line:

We Win When We Act Like Jesus Is Right There with Us

That’s a good way to think about it. Pretend that Jesus is your best friend at school and that he goes to class with you every day.

So kids, make sure you’re winning at school. That makes God smile!
