Kolby & Mary Beth King
God changed their lives… With that being said, Kolby is the children's minister at First Baptist Church in Owasso, Oklahoma, where he and Mary Beth, his wife, minister to 150 elementary students each week. They are also the founders of three-thirty ministries, a resource network for the purpose of providing affordable resources to churches and families around the world. Kolby is a ventriloquist (which basically means he likes to talk to himself) and Mary Beth eats fire as a way of sharing the Gospel. During their years in evangelism and student ministry, they picked up other interesting ministry tools including stunts with six-foot balloons, balloon sculptures, fire-juggling (which one should never do on a windy day!), and a variety of other unique activities for the purpose of sharing Jesus with others.

John 3:30

Introduction
_______________________
Our Goal
To help students experience God’s Word in a colorful, fun, surprising and creative manner; to ignite in them a hunger that leads them to dig in, crawl inside, explore, enjoy and live out God’s truth.
Teaching Method
Children only remember 10% of what they hear, 20% of what they see, and 30% of what they hear and see. They are concrete learners, which means they retain 80 to 90% of what they do, touch, smell, taste, and help teach. Therefore, these lessons are packed with a teaching style that will help them to:
Find it. Taste it. Touch it. Make it.
Know it. Grow it. See it. Show it.
Live it!

OPENING ACTIVITY
SAY: Welcome to Super Sock Day! Today you might have worn a pair of crazy, comfy or super socks.
Ask if any of your students wore a special pair of socks that they would like to show the class.
SAY: You know, in the same way that people can’t see your socks because they’re hidden, sometimes people hide sin in their lives. They try to just cover it up so people don’t see it, but Jesus wants us to be pure, to live His way and to always follow and obey Him. To help us remember this, we have a special saying today…
SAY: Anytime I say, "The next time you’re tempted, what should you do? When I say this, I want you to respond,
Sock it to the devil, huh!" In other words, you’re not going to give in to sin but will live for Jesus. Let’s practice:
CONTROL TOOL
Leader: The next time you’re tempted, what should you do?
Students: Sock it to the devil, huh!
SAY: In the Bible Jesus taught us how to live and many times He would tell stories that had truth for living hidden in them.
ASK: Does anyone know what these stories were called? (You may have worn a pair
of socks but the answer to this question isn’t a pair of bowls.
)
ASK: What is a parable? (That’s right, parables, not a pair of bowls.
)
SAY: Parables are stories that Jesus told to teach a truth and the truth from today’s story is about treating others right.
