Summary: Nobody likes a jerk. They’re filled with pride, always get what they want, and treat others as less than themselves. As Christians, we need to avoid becoming a jerk. In this lesson, the children will learn from King Xerxes how to NOT be a jerk. King Xerxes made a lot of terrible mistakes that made him a total jerk! The children will learn to avoid the mistakes King Xerxes made and what it means to set a better example as a Christian. The children will learn to be humble, to not get mad when they don’t get their way, and to treat people like they matter!

Power Verse: “Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves.”- Philippians 2:3
