Kids Inc

This week’s Bible story came from Ephesians 2:1-10. Preschoolers learned that God sent Jesus for us. A man named Paul wrote to followers of Jesus telling them that when we love and follow Jesus, we have new life. God sent Jesus so we can have a forever friendship with Him because He loves and values us! Make up a cheer with your preschoolers spelling the word “new.” Every time you spell it, say, “Jesus gives us new life!”

Take 1 day this week to highlight these 2 things and spend 3 minutes talking about them: Show your preschooler a mail package. Ask, “How does it feel to get a package and know that it is for you? Getting something special that someone sent is very exciting. We can know that God sent Jesus so we can have a friendship with Him. This is better than any package we could ever receive!”

Take time today to pray as a family—talk and listen to God. Pray these four things:

• Thank God that He values you and made you with worth.
• Ask God to help you see yourselves and others with the same value that He sees you.
• Pray for one another.
• Choose one or two other people to pray for—that they would know God sent Jesus because He values them and wants to have a forever friendship with them.

The disciple Paul wrote to Christians in Ephesus that sin separates us from God, but Jesus gives new life now and forever to those who trust Him. Kids learned that rescue through Jesus is the greatest gift. It demonstrates how much God loves and values us! Sit in a dark room and talk about some hard things that are caused by sin. Then turn on the lights, celebrate the amazing new life we have in Jesus, and talk about what is different now.

This week, take 1 day to ask these 2 questions and spend 3 minutes talking about them: Even when we are good and make good choices, why do we need God’s forgiveness? How does God’s forgiveness through Jesus show that God loves and values us?

Take time today to pray as a family—talk and listen to God. Pray these four things:

• Thank God that He values you, seeking you and making you on purpose and with worth.
• Ask God to help you live in the joy of knowing that He loves you so much, and He sent Jesus to rescue you from sin.
• Pray for one another to recognize appreciate that God values you.
• Choose one or two other people to pray for—that they would know how much God values them and for them to turn to trust and follow Him.

Our goal is simple–volunteers show kids the love of Jesus! All volunteers are screened with thorough Federal background checks, so they are able to provide safety and spiritual guidance to your child. Plus, you can be a part of our talented Children’s Ministry!
