Take a look at the 4 ways for growing in God:
G – Go to Church: Going to church is a great way for your kids to grow in God. Not only will they hear sermons and lessons from the Bible, but church is also a place where they can learn to love God and others.
R – Read the Bible AND Prrrrray Every Day: As Christians, we should make reading the Bible and praying a daily goal. The Bible is God’s love letter and map for our lives. And of course praying is how we take time to talk to God and listen to Him.
O – Obey God: Obedience often has a bad reputation with us sinners. Why is that? It’s because we want to live our lives our OWN way rather than trusting in God’s way. But if we would only remember that obeying God always brings the best results for our lives, we’d be ready and willing to obey Him all day long. How do we obey God? We can’t do it on our own — we need the Holy Spirit to work His trust and love in our lives so that we give our wills over to the One who loves us the most.
W – Witness for Jesus: Witnessing is just a fancy word that means we get to tell others about Jesus. When we start telling others about our faith and love for Jesus, our friendship with God will grow!
As promised, here is the video for today’s lesson all about growing in God:

- Have kids say the acrostic together (“G-R-O-W!”) before each lesson to help it stick.
“But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.” 2 Peter 3:18

This is still one of my favorite programs I’ve ever performed — I did “Let’s GROW in God” for hundreds of kids over the years, and the G-R-O-W acrostic still sticks with me today. I hope it helps your kids remember these 4 simple truths too!
