Welcome to Virtual Kids Church: June 20, 2021
W E E K 3 - Elementary and PreTeen
Key Question: How could God use you? Preteens are at the age when they are just discovering their talents and passions. Some will know immediately, while, for others, this may take time. Thankfully, God can use them no matter who they are or what they enjoy. We pray that kids realize that God wants to use them to change the world.
In Judges 6-8, we discover more about when God called Gideon to lead the Israelites. Gideon doubted God would want him to help. After all, Gideon was from the smallest tribe, the smallest family, and he was the smallest of his family! God wanted him anyway. Eventually, Gideon learned that God could use him no matter what!
Bottom Line: God can use you no matter what. Big or small, young or old, God can use people to do extraordinary things. We pray that whether kids feel like Gideon or have the confidence of an entertainer taking the stage, kids will realize that God can use them.
