THIS WEEK IS A KIDS IN CHURCH SUNDAY!!
Go to KIDZ in Church for more about what KIDZ in Church.
There is no children's church for 1st through 5th graders.
Other KIDZ class lessons are available after the KIDZ in Church info.

For KIDZ sermon notes, click HERE.

Pastor Brett is preaching from Romans 16:17-23.

BIG IDEA:  Beware of FALSE teachers.

These teachers are described as self-promoters not God-glorifiers.

They must be avoided because they try to make you turn away from God and toward someone or something else.

Some words to listen for.

• MICROSCOPE/TELESCOPE - Watch out for FALSE teachers.
• TRAIN TRACKS - False teaching is close to but not FALSE teaching.  It is near the truth but is counterfeit.
• COLLAR - When you take someone by the collar, you want them to focus on what you are about to say.
• CRUSH - The God of Peace will soon crush Satan under your feet.  Notice anything interesting about that verse?  God of Peace will Crush.  God hates sin and will crush it because sin breaks peace with God and with others. 
• WOLF/WOLVES - The FALSE teachers are like wolves among the sheep.

One quote to talk with your children about is the J.C. Ryle quote.
"Three things that a person should never plan with - a little poison, a little false teaching, and little sin."

Remind your children that we need to desire to grow closer to God, and one way to do this is through reading and studying God's Word.
