Welcome to Sunday School Solutions!

The Lord’s Prayer in Luke 11 may sound familiar to the children in your Sunday school class since it is a common passage of Scripture. This doesn’t make it any less important. In fact, it is so common because of how important it is. In these few verses, Jesus tells us how to talk to God the Father! The final parable in our series follows Jesus’ model for prayer. Before the kids in your Sunday school can understand the parable, they should learn how to talk to the Father.

As believers, we are called to forgive those who have sinned against us. But this can be challenging, even for children. Maybe a friend lied to them or said hurtful things. Maybe someone at school stole one of their valuable possessions. How can you teach the importance of forgiveness to the kids in your Sunday school class?

The childlike faith kids need to come to salvation in Jesus is a blessing, but it can also lead them to believe some ideas that aren’t true. How do you explain to a child how to discern truth from error?

We all have a perception of God’s love, but our perception needs to be grounded in biblical truth. Think about the children in your Sunday school class. Do they have the correct perception of God’s love for them? Do they think they have done something so bad that God wouldn’t love them? Do they believe God must love them because they are good kids? You can teach them the correct perspective of God’s love through the parable of the prodigal son.

Think about the children in your Sunday school class. Have they trusted in Jesus as their Savior? God wants them to have a relationship with Him. We can demonstrate this truth to kids by teaching them the parable of the lost coin.

As Sunday school teachers, we must teach the children in our class to love their neighbor. They even need to love the neighbors they don’t get along with. Jesus taught this same lesson in the parable of the good Samaritan.

You probably have children in your Sunday school class who have amazing gifts and abilities. Josh loves to play the piano, Sarah sings very well for her age, and Lucas is a born actor. But what about the children who don’t think they are gifted? How do you encourage them to be responsible with what they have? Jesus explained this to His disciples in the parable of the talents.

Sometimes, the children in your Sunday school class might feel overlooked. Perhaps they have to fight for attention at home. They could feel lonely when they miss their friends. Worst of all, they may think that God doesn’t know who they are or care about them.

Children may be told by their parents or teachers that they can change the world! But the saved children in your Sunday school class may be wondering how they can do that. They may believe their small acts of obedience to God will never be noticed and will never make any difference.
