BIBLE TEXT: Daniel 4:35-37
[35]And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?
[36]At the same time my reason returned unto me; and for the glory of my kingdom, mine honour and brightness returned unto me; and my counsellors and my lords sought unto me; and I was established in my kingdom, and excellent majesty was added unto me.
[37]Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honour the King of heaven, all whose works are truth, and his ways judgment: and those that walk in pride he is able to abase.

MEMORY VERSE: Acts 3:8 “And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking and leaping and praising God”

LESSON AIM: God is passionate about soul winning

CENTRAL TRUTH: A grateful heart talks about the goodness of God everywhere.

INTRODUCTION: There was a lame man that received his healing. Once he did, with so much joy and excitement, he was leaping, praising God, and telling everyone in the temple about how he received his healing. He became a witness of the gospel. God expects us to exhibit the same attitude as the lame man, when sharing all that God has done for us.
