Game - NT: Philippians - Let's shoot at the ping pong ball


Use this fun game in your programme on the book of Philippians

A Bible game to help us reflect about being humble.

In Philippians 2: 6 - 8 Paul writes about Jesus who made himself nothing. He became a servant and was even willing to die on a cross. Paul encourages us to look at Jesus and then try to become like Him.

Paul tells us that we should follow his example. Jesus didn’t consider himself more important than others, but was prepared to do things that the ‘important’ people mostly wouldn’t have done. Jesus made himself unimportant.

This activity is part of a complete Sunday school lesson on the book of Philippians: Living like Christ
