A climactic lesson that beautifully depicts the desire and power of God to save.\u00a0Your kids will walk away with a deeper knowledge of who God is.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-28368\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sharefaith.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/giphy-5.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"274\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><b>5. Visual Storytelling<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When Jesus taught, he did so using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sharefaith.com\/blog\/2016\/08\/sunday-school-discovered-power-visual-storytelling\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the power of visual storytelling<\/a>.

Structured &amp; Simple<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A VBS program can make one of two mistakes. 1) Have zero structure and leave your team scratching their heads or 2) Create a program so detailed and complicated that your team needs a tutor to get through it all.
