Show And Tell
“Furthermore, we have seen with our own eyes and now testify that the Father sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. All who declare that Jesus is the Son of God have God living in them, and they live in God. We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in his love." 1 John 4:14-16, NLT
I'm sure you remember the joy of show-and-tell day at school, either from your own childhood or your children's. I remember taking a nest and a cocoon. My son had a green vine snake named Slimy that made a great impression. One little girl in his class brought her mother's gallstones post-surgery.
In the Bible, the greatest show-and-tell of all is Jesus Christ. In the Old Testament, God had told humanity about His love and His nature through Moses, the prophets, and the Law or the commandments. In the New Testament, humanity finally saw God through the incarnation of His Son, Jesus Christ.
"The Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory"
(John 1:14). Here in the final chapter of 1 John, we are reminded that God not only showed and told of His love, but He also desires for us to be a part of the ongoing showing and telling to the world.
Prayer
Lord, You chose to love me. You told us of Your love and then showed us when You sent Your Son into this world. Amazingly, You sent Jesus to pay the penalty for my sin. I am free from sin and death because of Your love. Thank You, Lord!

Theme - Prayer
Prayer can feel like a big mystery when you're a kid - but as we know, it's so important! All month we will be learning how and when to talk to God. We are also learning the Lord's Prayer.
Prayer helps our kids develop an authentic, personal relationship with God that they can build on for the rest of our lives. Today, ask your kids what they like to talk to God about and ask them when they think it would be a good time for you all to pray as a family.
Memory Verse - Learn it TOGETHER :)
"Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Current Series
Love Well is a message series based on one of the most famous chapters in the Bible: 1 Corinthians 13. This series is all about building healthy relationships and learning how to love as Jesus first loved us. Join us as we learn how to value our relationships, communicate from the heart and love even when it's difficult.

Upcoming Series
Life doesn’t always go the way we expect, and we pray to God for help and guidance. But sometimes it seems like even though we pray with faith, God doesn’t do what we've asked. We seek Him, but don’t feel His presence. We go through pain, but our cries for relief seem to go unanswered. Sometimes, our lives just don't make sense and we begin to wonder... is He even there?
In this three-week series, we'll take a closer look at how to understand the presence of an "Invisible God."
