How can kids be sure that they’ll stay close to God?

 

Kids can be afraid of growing up. Who will they be when they’re older? Will they still love God? How do they know that they’ll stay close to God FOR LIFE, and not just FOR NOW?

This series follows the story of our fictional anti-hero Joey. He was great as a kid, but made many foolish choices along the way. Now that he’s stranded on a deserted Island, he’s confronted with himself.

As kids follow Joey’s hilarious story, they’ll learn 5 essential spiritual habits to stay close to God…for life!

From talking with God each day to reading God’s word daily, to hiding God’s word in your heart…kids will not only hear about these habits, but learn how to do them.

A humorous “cast-away”, with a life-changing message


Video Lessons

 

Teaching-videos like you haven’t seen before!

Throughout the series, kids follow an ONGOING story that keeps getting funnier, crazier and wilder. They’ll be delighted to return to it every time. But not all teaching is done through video:

  • Both live and video teaching: this series combines most forms of learning, which includes video, live teaching and exploration. It teaches through play, through interaction, through participation and self-led exploration.
  • Combining humor and deep truths: this series has an uplifting, fun and light summer-feel to it, but also teaches deep life-changing Biblical truths that kids can apply immediately.
  • No “talking heads”: In this series you’ll never see a teacher turn to the camera and preach. Curriculum should not replace you as shepherd. On top of that, preaching on video is boring anyway. 🙂

The Story behind S.O.S.

 

 

Curriculum Details

Here an overview of each lesson in the series:

 

sos1

Lesson 1: What are spiritual habits?

Kids learn that a habit is something you repeat. They’ll know that there are habits that keep you from God, and those that bring you closer to him. They’ll be challenged to see and identify the habits they have. Which habits should they lose, and which ones should they strengthen?

sos2

Lesson 2: Giving back to God

Kids learn to break the grip of materialism by learning the habit of tithing and giving. This habit will fill them with Joy throughout their lifetime and helps them to look beyond themselves.

sos3

Lesson 3: Arm yourself with Bible verses

Your kids will learn to hide God’s word in their hearts. They’ll witness how Jesus was tempted in the desert, and rejected each temptation by quoting God’s word. Kids will learn how powerful God’s word is in keeping us on the right path.

Lesson 4: Meet with your small group

You can’t follow Christ in isolation. You need others around you; a small group of trusted people. Kids learn how honest friends will enrich their lives, and they’re challenged to give others permission to speak into their lives.

sos5

Lesson 5: Every day starts with God

It’s essential to meet with God daily. The Bible repeatedly teaches to search for God in the morning. Kids will learn how to “set an appointment with their Creator” every morning.

sos6

Lesson 6: Speak with God throughout the day

Kids often believe that you should be on your knees for hours in order to be a good Christian, and this feels like an impossible task. In this lesson, kids learn how to have an ongoing conversation with God, while doing life.

sos7

Lesson 7: Keeping your habits for life (salvation emphasis)

In this final lesson, kids look back on the habits they’ve learnt and make a decision to continue. This lesson has a salvation emphasis, helping kids to follow Christ.

Every lesson comes with stunning screen-graphics, supporting nearly all systems:

  • Professional graphics: Each lesson comes with well-designed animated (!) on-screen graphics
  • Use any presentation software: The video files work with nearly every presentation software (simply drag the files into your ProPresenter, MediaShout, Keynote or Powerpoint app, make sure you set the videos to “loop”)
  • Always organized: A lesson’s screen files come in one handy folder, all neatly numbered in the order of the lesson.
  • Never lose anything: Log in to our system at any time to re-download your purchased series!
  • No failing DVDs: DVDs get lost, scratched up and don’t work in every player. It’s time to leave them in the 90s where they belong.
