Lesson Introduction
Lesson Text
The apostle Paul said that the Christian life is like running in a race. In this lesson, we
will answer the questions, what is the Christian race and who is to run in it? We will
specifically address: preparation to run and the importance of practice, how to run and the
importance of attitude, not being a quitter, and what is our prize and how and when do we
receive it.
Start off the lesson by discussing some general things about competitive games. Every
game has people who:
Set the rules
Compete in the game
Judge the competition
Give the prize
Lead the children in a discussion about who does these things in the Christian race.
Get Ready, Get Set
Key points:
You have to know what they are and play by the rules.
It takes practice to win.
If you don’t start, you can’t compete.
You must be prepared for when the race starts

Know the Rules (page 3)
Stress the importance of understanding the rules of any game you plan to play. What
would happen if you did not understand the rules? (2 Timothy 2:5) God has rules for us
to follow, and we find those rules in the Bible. (2 Timothy 3:15-17) We should study
God’s word to learn His rules for us. (Romans 10:17, 2 Timothy 2:15, Psalm 119:9-16)
