Week of 10-09-22

We encourage you to use the resources below to follow up on what your kids and teens learned at Sunday School and Wednesday's Student Ministry Gathering and as a guide for having some Christ-centered conversations with your family this week.

For Kids

​Unit 13: Session 2 - Elijah Served as a Prophet

Bible Story Summary:

• Elijah set up a contest to show who the one true God is.
  
• Elijah told the people, "The God who answers by sending fire is the one true God."
• The false prophets called out to Baal, but no one answered.
• God answered Elijah by sending fire from the sky!
• The people who were watching said, "The Lord, he is God! The Lord, he is God!"

Christ Connection

• We do not have to work hard to show God we love him. Instead, God showed his love for us by sending his Son, Jesus, to be the Savior of the world.

For Family Worship
New City Catechism Question 42: How is the Word of God to be read and heard?
With diligence, preparation, and prayer; so that we may accept it with faith, store it in our hearts, and practice it in our lives.

2 Timothy 3:16-17
All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.

​Reading:
Wherefore I would advise you all that come to the reading or hearing of this book, which is the word of God, the most precious jewel and most holy relic that remaineth upon earth; that ye bring with you the fear of God, and that ye do it with all due reverence, and use your knowledge thereof, not to vain glory of frivolous disputation, but to the honor of God, increase of virtue, and edification both of yourselves and others.
- Thomas Cranmer

Watch and Discuss:

Pray:
Giver of the Word, help us to treasure your Scriptures as our most precious possession. May it be in our minds and on our lips. Let it transform our thinking and reform our living. Make us attentive students and devoted servants of your perfect Word. Amen.
