The Perfect Parent has Disobedient Children - FAMILY PLUS Children's

This week in Kidstuf your kids are going to hear the all to familiar story...Adam and Eve sin against God. Of course their actions effect the rest of the human story in what seemed to be an irreversible way, until Christ Jesus was born. This is what we'll focus on with your kids this Sunday.

For us as parents what does this mean? Last Wednesday night in the adult group that Katie and I lead we talked about this very thing. I found this to be very encouraging...God, who is perfect, was the Father of 2 sinful children, Adam and Eve. At first glance, this shows God's love for us, His creation. But at another level, we see that even a perfect parent has sinful children. We talked about a lot of things Wednesday Night, but in the end we ended with the fact that God is not asking us for perfection as parents; He is asking us to love Him with all that we have, so our kids can learn from our love.

This weeks details:
Scripture: Genesis 3
Memory Verse: "If we claim we have no sin, we are only fooling ourselves and not living in the truth." 1 John 1:8
Life Application: All people sin.
