Faith Facts For KidsSample

Say this faith fact out loud: I can have the faith to give generously, even if I don’t have much.

A sacrifice is giving up something you love for something you love even more. When you give what you have to help someone or give what you have to worship God, that’s sacrifice. That’s giving generously! It pleases God when you have enough faith to do that. 

God doesn’t ask us to give to others in need only when we have extra. He asks us to give all the time!

When we don’t have a lot to give and we still choose to give to others in need, we’re giving a sacrifice. Sacrifice shows strong faith. Strong faith trusts God will give us exactly what we need, when we need it, so we don’t have to keep all of our time, all of our money, all of our toys, or all of our food to ourselves.

Watch the video, then use the Bible verse Hebrews 13:16 to play Leap and Learn. It will help you remember that God loves the sacrifices we make to help others!
