Hear Me Roar - Week 3
There’s a reason lions are symbols of courage — even their roars (which can be heard up to five miles away) tell us how strong they are! And because of God’s promises, we can be as strong and bold as lions, too. In this five-week series, our kids will learn important truths from the life of Daniel they’ll want to shout (or roar!), like how we don’t have to give up and don’t have to feel alone. Instead, we can keep learning and not be afraid, even when we don’t know the future. Why? Because God is with us!
BIG IDEA: I can keep learning — God is with me!

DISCIPLE:
Give you family blocks, legos, or play animals to build a tiny zoo while you read (or tell in your own words) Daniel 5.
What are some things you have been learning in your life lately? How do you think God might use that in your life?
Pray: God, you are the Creator of the world, and you are always at work. I don’t want to stay in my comfort zone when it comes to growing with you. I want to keep learning instead of thinking I already know everything. Thank you for being the most kind and patient teacher and for reminding me I don’t have to be perfect. Amen.
