Lesson Goal:

Children will learn that they need to forgive people regardless of if they've asked for it.

Main Point:

Heroes Forgive!

Bible Verse:

Make allowance for each other's faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others. Colossians 3:13 (NLT)

This week your children watched how Pow and Kabaam handled forgiveness. The trainees had been given an assignment: Construct a super hero gadget. Kabaam had been hard at work gathering components to build a personal transporter. Pow had waited to the last minute and had nothing. Pow tried to steal parts from Kabaam. An argument broke out resulting in Pow flying into a rage and destroying Kabaam's project. Kabaam refused to forgive Pow citing several previous wrongs committed by Pow.

The hero instructor, The Forgiven, showed up and encouraged Kabaam to forgive. She reminded Kabaam that we've all messed up and God chooses to forgive us so we should forgive others. She told the story of Jacob and Esau found in Genesis chapter 27 and how broken family was brought back together because of forgiveness.
