Welcome to Virtual Kids Church: Mar. 28, 2021
W E E K 4 - Elementary and PreTeen
Key Question: What are you waiting for right now? We all face times in our life when our waiting feels endless. Maybe we’re waiting for someone to feel better, to understand a concept in math, or for summer vacation. In Matthew 21:1-11, we see that people were really starting to believe that Jesus was that Savior. God’s promises were finally coming true. So when He entered Jerusalem on a donkey, just like the prophesy foretold, they celebrated and worshipped Jesus. Of course, this all turned out very different from what they expected and they’d have to wait a bit longer to understand, but they could find joy because God was faithful.
Bottom Line: You can celebrate even when you’re waiting. How we wait can show others how we trust God. Celebrating might feel like a strange way to wait. However, when we remember how much God loves us, that Jesus came to save us, that God will always be faithful, we can’t help but celebrate and have joy believing that God will do the same in the future. We pray that kids learn how to celebrate God while they wait.
