I Am Broken: I Need God to Forgive Me/I Need God's Forgiveness

I Am Broken: I Need God to Forgive Me/I Need God's Forgiveness

An important fact we get to teach this week is that we all need God’s forgiveness. In John 4:1-42, Jesus met a Samaritan woman at a well in the middle of the day. Jews and Samaritans did not get along. The fact that this Samaritan woman was at the well in middle of the day meant she had also been rejected by her community. But Jesus did not reject her. Instead, He offered her “living water.” This living water was a new relationship with God and forgiveness for the wrong things she had done in her life. We all need God’s forgiveness, no matter who we are or what we have done. God knows everything about us, yet He loves us and wants to forgive us. Preschoolers and kids will learn that Jesus came to offer us living water—eternal life and forgiveness—because God desires to have a relationship with us. What an amazing opportunity we have this week to teach preschoolers and kids about God’s amazing forgiveness!   We can't wait to hear how you are using Hyfi Preschool, Kids, and Students in your church!

I Am Broken: I Need God Every Day

We get to teach preschoolers and kids that they need God every day. This week’s Bible story is an overview from Exodus 13–40. God cared for His people, the Israelites, including leading them through the desert with a cloud by day and a fire by night. Even though they were not perfect and made wrong choices, God showed He was always with them. God promised to be with them and provide what they needed when they needed it. We get to teach preschoolers and kids that we need God and His presence in our lives, just like the Israelites needed Him. We are broken because of our sin, but God cares for us every day. Let’s teach preschoolers and kids that when we trust and follow God, He guides us, forgives us, helps us, and leads us.   We can't wait to hear how you are using Hyfi Preschool, Kids, and Students in your church!

Bonus Episode: I Am Made New

As we prepare to launch our second 3-year Hyfi Cycle, we will include two new Simple Truths! Enjoy this bonus podcast to learn more about the new truth, "I Am Made New." In a world of brokenness, all of humanity is looking for a way to put things back together. Sometimes we look for it in status or esteem. Sometimes we look for it in the approval of others. Sometimes we look for it in people or in circumstances. Kids, students, and adults all know the cycle: chasing a sense of satisfaction, only to be let down time and time again. But the place where we can find the real hope and truth we are looking for is in our position before God. As we follow Jesus together, we get to speak the life-giving identity truth over kids and students—that they can be made new in Jesus when they respond to Him in faith. .   Read more with this bonus blog! https://kidsministry.lifeway.com/2026/06/25/i-am-made-new/ [https://kidsministry.lifeway.com/2026/06/25/i-am-made-new/] We can't wait to hear how you are using Hyfi Preschool, Kids, and Students in your church!

Bonus Episode: I Am Valued

As we prepare to launch our second 3-year Hyfi Cycle, we will include two new Simple Truths! Enjoy this bonus podcast to learn more about the truth, "I Am Valued." The next generation is constantly being bombarded with lies and half-truths about what human value truly means. They hear and even internalize messages such as, “I am valued because I hold to the right values,” or “I am valued as long as I contribute or someone else sees me as valuable,” or even, “I am valued because of my brand.” In a world where kids and students often question their worth and identity, they need to know their value doesn’t fluctuate based on popularity, appearances, accomplishments, or anyone’s opinion of them—including their own. Instead, they need to know the truth that their value rests in who God says they are. As His creation, their value is established before the beginning of time.   Read more with this bonus blog! https://kidsministry.lifeway.com/2026/06/25/i-am-valued/ [https://kidsministry.lifeway.com/2026/06/25/i-am-valued/] We can't wait to hear how you are using Hyfi Preschool, Kids, and Students in your church!

I Am Uniquely Designed: I Am Special to God/I Matter to God

Our Bible story this week is from Ephesians 1. In this letter to Christians in Ephesus, Paul prayed that the people who follow Jesus would have strong faith and know that they are special to God! God promised to give them the Holy Spirit to help them follow Him and point others to Him. This is true for us as well! This week we get to teach preschoolers and kids that God loves us so much, and He sent Jesus so we could have a relationship with Him. God did this not because of anything we did to earn it but because of His love. God wants a relationship with the preschoolers and kids we teach because they are special and matter to Him.  We can't wait to hear how you are using Hyfi Preschool, Kids, and Students in your church!
