Welcome to Virtual Kids Church: May 9, 2021
W E E K 2 - Elementary and PreTeen
Key Question: How can you hear from God? When kids first hear they should learn to hear from God, they might have some questions. Especially when God doesn’t speak audibly, how can they hear from God? We hope kids wrestle with this idea and learn that hearing from God might not be as tricky as they might have thought.
In week two, we head to Matthew 7:24-29, where we can read a parable Jesus told at the end of the Sermon on the Mount.
Two builders took two different approaches to build their homes. One house was built on a solid foundation, the other on shifting sand. The message is clear: a solid foundation in life starts with hearing and doing what Jesus says.
Bottom Line: Practice hearing from God. We can’t do what God says until we know what God says. Discovering more about that starts with listening to God. We pray that kids will learn the faith skill HEAR and find how they can navigate and personalize God’s Word.
