Junior Soldiers: Totally Focused

Lesson One of the Junior Soldiers Totally His unit teaches children about our need to stay focused on Jesus.  What a goal for young people and adults! 

Lesson Enhancement/Craft  

Help children focus on the life and stories of Jesus with these Bible bookmarks. Provide stars, dots or other stickers for children to mark their progress as they focus on the real hero of the Bible - Jesus.

Stare Down Contest 

Children attempt to stare down one another without blinking.  The child who can “fix their eyes” the longest is declared the champion.  Afterwards compliment all of the children.  Explain that it requires a lot of effort to become a staring champion.  You have to focus on the person you are staring at and forget about everything else.  

This is similar to what it means to fix your eyes on Jesus.  When you focus all your thoughts on Him and do not become distracted by fears, worries or anything else, you become a totally focused champion.
