BEST YEAR EVER invites children to explore what it means to walk with Jesus daily, turning ordinary moments into extraordinary spiritual journeys. "BEST YEAR EVER" transforms the typical New Year's resolution approach into a deeper, more meaningful exploration of faith through engaging biblical stories, interactive activities, and practical applications.

It's time to dream big, set amazing goals, plan epic adventures with friends, change the world, or just get a fresh start in the new year. Anything is possible. This study will excite kids about what God has in store for the coming year. No matter the ups and downs, having Jesus by your side means you're never alone in the ride. We can trust Him on this new year's journey. With Jesus in your life, every day can matter: boring, awesome, bad, or blah. Let's learn how to make it the BEST YEAR EVER.

Gospel Connection: Following Jesus isn't about being perfect; it's about trusting His love and guidance. Because of His sacrifice on the cross, you can find eternal life with Jesus and enjoy a life filled with abundance right here, right now. Jesus makes every day count and can make this your BEST YEAR EVER.

Week 1: No Worries
Bible Story: "Do Not Worry" - Matthew 6:25-34
Main Idea: God takes care of me, so I don't need to worry. He's always in control. Gospel Connection: Jesus reminds us not to trust our own strength but to trust in His loving care, securing our needs and eternal life through His sacrifice.

Week 2: Two Paths
Bible Story: "The Way of the Righteous and the Wicked & Trust in the Lord" - Psalm 1:1-3 and Proverbs 3:5-6
Main Idea: I can find a better life by following God's path. Gospel Connection: We can't perfectly follow God's path, but salvation comes not from our efforts but from Jesus's perfect sacrifice for our sins.

Week 3: Fresh Starts
Bible Story: "The Woman at the Well" - John 4:1-42
Main Idea: By trusting in Jesus, I can get a start fresh. Gospel Connection: Jesus gave a woman at a well a new start. He offers a fresh start to anyone who will turn away from sin and trust in His promise of salvation.

Week 4: It's a God Thing
Bible Story: "The Vine and the Branches & The Peace of God" - John 15:4-5 and Philippians 4:6-7
Main Idea: I can connect with Jesus daily to find real peace and become more like Him. Gospel Connection: Like branches to a vine, we find our strength in Jesus. Our friendship with God comes from his goodness, not what we deserve on our own.
