Sunday school lessons on the Bible's most famous tricks, and the God who always tells the truth.\u003c\/strong\u003e Kids hear lies every day, about God and about who they are, from screens, from crowds, from friends. Over five weeks they 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 and the leaders who forgot to ask God first (Joshua 9); Absalom stealing hearts at the city gate while God's true king walked out barefoot (2 Samuel 15); Simon trying to buy the Holy Spirit with a bag of money (Acts 8); and Paul's picture of the armor of God, truth first (Ephesians 6). Available in Kids (ages 6 to 12) and Preschool (ages 3 to 5) editions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHalloween and this curriculum:\u003c\/strong\u003e This series 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. It never asks your church to celebrate Halloween, and nothing in it is spooky. If candy-and-costume talk is welcome in your rooms, it works the week of a harvest festival, a trunk-or-treat, or nothing at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e📅 Coming Soon\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e👉 Try it free first:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 22px;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0353\/5254\/3371\/files\/Trick_or_Truth_-_Kids_-_Free_Sample_Lesson.pdf?v=1789594685\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eDownload the Kids sample lesson →\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0353\/5254\/3371\/files\/Trick_or_Truth_-_PreK_-_Free_Sample_Lesson.pdf?v=1789594679\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eDownload the PreK sample lesson →\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e💡 Big Idea:\u003c\/strong\u003e God always tells the truth.
