Read Exodus 20:16 Why do you think Jackson blamed the theft of the bracelet on Austin?
Read Romans 7:14-23 A preacher named Paul said this. Does it seem true for you too? Can you remember a time when, like Jackson, you wanted to do the right thing but you did the wrong thing instead? How was Jackson feeling about doing bad things all the time?
What did Jackson do right? Read about it in 1 John 1:9.
What did Paul the preacher thank God for? Read about it in Romans 7:24, 25.
Read 1 Samuel 3:1-10 This is a true story of a boy named Samuel. How did God speak to him? How was it similar to the way God spoke to Jackson? Have you ever head God speak to you that way?
Read John 10:14-16 (Jesus is talking. He is using his name ‘The Good Shepherd”)
Do you remember when Jackson whistled and his horse Cheyenne came running to him? Would Cheyenne run up to everyone who whistled for him? How did Jackson train Cheyenne to obey him? How do we learn to recognize God’s voice when he speaks to us?
Read 2 Timothy 3:14-17 (The preacher Paul said this to a young man named Timothy who was trying to do the right thing. Scripture is another word for The Bible.) What are two more ways that God speaks to us?
Look at 2 Timothy 3:14-16 What is God doing to help Jackson?
What do you think Jackson will say to Austin when they go to the police office to get the bracelet situation sorted out? Will Jackson pass the next test that God gives him?
