Your Sunday, solved. Everything you need lives in one file. Open it, read the script, and you're ready in minutes, not hours. Stage directions and supply lists included, so even a first-time volunteer can lead with confidence.
A five-week series for kids on spotting a trick and trusting the truth. Sunday school lessons on the Bible's most famous tricks, and the God who always tells the truth. 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.
Halloween and this curriculum: 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.

๐ก Big Idea: God always tells the truth. His truth helps us spot every trick.
๐ 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
โ๏ธ Gospel Connection: Every trick in the Bible is a copy of the first one: a lie about God. Jesus is different. He didn't just tell the truth; He said, "I am the truth." He died for the lies we've believed and the ones we've told, He rose again, and everyone who trusts Him belongs to God forever. Trick or truth? Jesus is the truth.
Week 1 โ God's word is true, even when a lie sounds sweet
- Bible Story: The First Lie (Genesis 3:1โ24)
- 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.
Week 2 โ God knows the truth. Ask Him first
- Bible Story: The Gibeonites' Trick (Joshua 9:3โ27)
- Key Discovery: God knows the truth about every story, and He wants His people to ask Him before they decide.
- Takeaway: Before I believe a story, I can ask God first.
Week 3 โ Popular isn't always right. God's true King is
- Bible Story: Absalom Steals the Kingdom (2 Samuel 15:1โ14, 30)
- Key Discovery: God chooses the true King, even when the crowd picks someone else, and Jesus is the King God chose.
- Takeaway: I can follow God's true King, even when the crowd picks someone else.
Week 4 โ God's gift can't be bought. He gives it free
- Bible Story: Simon Tries to Buy God's Gift (Acts 8:9โ25)
- Key Discovery: God's gift, His Spirit and His forgiveness, can't be bought or earned. He gives it free to anyone who asks Him. It cost Jesus everything. It costs you nothing.
- Takeaway: God's gift can't be bought or faked. He gives it free to anyone who asks.
Week 5 โ God's truth protects me every day
- Bible Story: The Armor of God (Ephesians 6:10โ18)
- Key Discovery: God gives His people His own armor, truth first, because the devil's tricks are real and God is stronger.
- Takeaway: God's truth protects me every day.
