It's Friday and we are in full Summer Jam mode around here. Today's to-do list has all kinds of final decorating stuff going on, and we will be working on worship preparation too. This year's worship is going to have a completely different feel. I am soooooo excited for Summer Jam to happen. I can't wait for the kids to start rolling in on Monday at 9am. Please be praying for Summer Jam. There is a lot new things happening this year. If you haven't registered your kids yet, you can do so on Sunday.
Here is what your kids will be learning about this Sunday...
Scripture: John 6:1-15 (Jesus fed Five Thousand)
Life Application: I can trust God to provide for my needs.
Memory Verse: Philippians 4:19 "And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus."
Prayer for the Nations: South Africa
This Sunday I'm going to ask one of your kids to recreate the story of Jesus feeding the 5000. I will give them 5 slices of bread and 2 goldfish crackers and see if they are able to have the same results that Jesus had. Of course, they won't be able, but that's the point. We are not divine like Jesus; we have fallen short (Rom 3:23). Therefore, we need help. We need help on a spiritual level (salvation), and we need help on a physical level (food, clothes, etc.). This is why Jesus went around preaching AND healing. Our sin has put us in the place where we need help, and Jesus is there to provide help spiritually and physically.
This week's parent challenge is simple. Ask them these questions....
1) What is an example of something that you can't do?
2) Why can't you do it?
3) Does that mean that you need help doing some things in life?
4) Talk about things in your life that you need help with, and relate that back to Jesus being the ultimate provider of everything, even help!
