Kid's Church talk
* Do you ever get cross when you can't get your own way? (Discuss)
* Lots of Adults, at times, feel this way as well - Some, sadly, cause others to get hurt because of this.
* In today's story, King Ahab could not get his own way. (Can you remember why? - What did he do?)
* God wants us to make sure we are never selfish or continue to want what other people have.
* We should be happy with what we have.
* Selfish people make God very unhappy.

* Also we should not get even with people just because we don't get what we want.
* The sticker you will be placing on the vineyard you will be making helps to remind you of just that

"Don't take revenge on those you don't get your own way with"
