Week 1 — God's word is true, even when a lie sounds sweet
Bible Story: The First Lie (Genesis 3:1–24)
Key Discovery: God's word is always true. Adam and Eve believed a lie instead, and God still came looking for them and promised a Rescuer.
Takeaway: When a lie sounds sweet, I can trust what God said.
Memory Verse: "Jesus answered, 'I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.'" (John 14:6) BSB

About the Trick or Truth Series
Trick or Truth is a five-week Sunday School curriculum for children's ministry. It borrows the trick-or-treat world (candy, costumes, a knock at the door) to teach one thing: God's truth helps us spot a trick. Kids learn to ask "What did God say?" before they believe a story: the serpent's sweet lie in the garden (Genesis 3), the Gibeonites' moldy-bread trick (Joshua 9), Absalom stealing hearts at the city gate (2 Samuel 15), Simon trying to buy the Holy Spirit (Acts 8), and Paul's picture of the armor of God (Ephesians 6). It never asks your church to celebrate Halloween, and nothing in it is spooky. It works the week of a harvest festival, a trunk-or-treat, or nothing at all.
The full series ships in two tracks, Kids (ages 6 to 12) and Preschool (ages 3 to 5). See the full series →
