FAMILY PLUS Children's - September 22

Hey Everyone!

 

I am pumped about our time with your kids on Sunday. We are talking about one of the first things that God brought to my attention and I feel is a very specific part of my calling as a pastor. Your kids will be learning that they can "know and apply God's Word to situations they face." 

 

Think about the success of your child in life. What do you want your child to be when they grow up? A dentist? A doctor? A teacher? If you answered those in your mind, that's great, but there is a better answer...Faithful! 

 

Since Carter was an infant God has driven in my head a simple prayer. I constantly pray that my children would be faithful to God and His Kingdom. I pray this when I hold them, when I stand over them, when I lay in bed and think of them, and when we even drive down the road. A faithful walk with God means that Carter and Cohen will need to be able to know God's Word and apply it to their life. How can they resist evil without it? How can they know in an instant what is right and wrong? How can they know what is worthy to give their life to? How can they have the courage to tell those lost and dying souls that surround their lives about the abundant life found in Jesus Christ? 

 

I have a God sized vision for my boys that for surpasses my walk with God, but I know that won't happen unless they "know and apply God's Word to situations they face."

 

If you want to talk about some of these things and about how to specifically get at this in your home, please contact me. I'm available and so are all our other staff. We want to encourage you, empower you, and pray over you and your home! Don't hesitate to email. I know this is on your heart too.

 

Here are the specifics this week:

Scripture: Matthew 6:25-34 (No need to worry)
Memory Verse: 2 Timothy 3:16 “All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives."
Prayer for the Nations: Switzerland (Trivia about the country this week)
