Currently we are covering God's love with your children. Last week we talked about how Jesus truly was God's son and how it was a BIG deal that God gave up his own sinless son. This week we will be discussing how God accepts those of all ages and all backgrounds; however, only those who come in a certain way (through child-like faith in Jesus Christ) will get to be a part of His Kingdom.
Here are the details of what we are talking about:
Scripture: Mark 10:13-16
Life Application: I can trust Jesus loves people of all ages.
Memory Verse: Mark 10:14- He said to them, “Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of God belongs to those who are like these children.”
I challenge you to think about how you've treated others. Find a story from your past of how you've treated someone of a different age/background good or bad. Tell your kids the story and talk about what made that experience incredible or what should've happened. Kids latch onto stories, especially their parent's stories. I think the best story times are in the car or at bedtime, but take advantage of anytime.
As we approach this Easter season, I'm praying a prayer of salvation and a deep rooting of faith for your children. That's where my heart is this week as we've prepared for Kidstuf this Sunday. Pray that prayer with me the next few weeks.
New to Kidstuf!- Each week we will be watching a video or viewing photos from the specific country we will be praying for. We are trying to follow along with our church's journey in Operation World. Keep an eye out for the Prayer for the Nations each week in the Family Plus Update.
Prayer for the Nations: This week is China.
