The Lessons
Five Days, Five Ways to Shine
Each day the kids explore a new part of what it means to walk in the light of Jesus.
Day 1 · Monday · July 6
Jesus, the Light of the World
We kick off the week discovering who Jesus is — the Light that pushes back every shadow and leads us to life.
John 8:12
“I am the light of the world.” — John 8:12
Day 2 · Tuesday · July 7
The Queen of Sheba Responds to the Light
A queen from far away heard how brightly God’s wisdom shone in King Solomon, so she traveled a long journey to see it for herself. When she saw it was real, she praised God! Jesus said “one greater than Solomon is here” — when we see His light, we respond by coming closer and giving God the glory.
1 Kings 10:1–13
“Blessed is Yahweh your God.” — 1 Kings 10:9
Day 3 · Wednesday · July 8
Priscilla & Aquila Share the Light
Priscilla and Aquila made tents with Paul and shared Jesus wherever they went. When they met Apollos, they kindly helped him understand God’s way even better — showing how we pass the light to others.
Acts 18:1–4, 24–28
“They took him aside, and explained to him the way of God more accurately.” — Acts 18:26
Day 4 · Thursday · July 9
Paul & Silas Praise in the Light
Paul and Silas were beaten and locked in a dark prison for doing what was right — and at midnight they sang praises to God. God shook the prison open, and even their jailer met Jesus that night. Kids learn that we can shine and praise God even in the dark, because Jesus’ light and joy don’t depend on our circumstances.
Acts 16:16–34
“About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God.” — Acts 16:25
Day 5 · Friday · July 10
The Kingdom of Light
We finish the week at the end of the whole story: Jesus is the Alpha and the Omega — the beginning and the end — and He is coming again. He makes a new heaven and a new earth where God lives with His people, and there is no more crying, pain, or death. “Behold, I am making all things new.” The Light we’ve followed all week wins forever, and He invites us into His Kingdom of Light.
Revelation 1:1–8; 21:1–8
“Behold, I am making all things new.” — Revelation 21:5
