Introduction
Let me begin with a discipleship question: how will you follow Jesus in prayer and dependence on God this week?
Main Points
In this lesson shaped by Calvary Boise's teaching on KIDS TIME: Q & R - September 2, 2020, Christ invites us to receive truth with humility, practice repentance, and walk in faithful obedience.
Life in the Church
If you guys have ever been a church listening to teaching or at home reading your bibles and you were curious or confused about. Something you've heard or saw you're not alone don't worry it's totally normal and it happens to most of us on a regular basis.
- In fact if that hasn't happened to you I wonder how close you were paying attention because the bible is kind of crazy welcome.
- Back everybody to our q r series where we're taking your family's questions about anything god the bible the world we live in and.
- We're going to do our best to respond together so I'll let you know what the question is you guys discuss it at home.
- Kids first then the grown-ups and then you can hear what I have to say and at the end of this we probably won't.
Have the perfect answer but we'll have grown in our wisdom in our knowledge and in our skill of having good important conversations which. Is truly a great skill to know so without further ado let's figure out what today's first question is this question comes to us.
Repentance and Renewal
Has set for us you see we are loved by god you me the whole world and god didn't start loving us when we. Were doing what is right and doing what is good and loving him instead god loved us while we were still his enemies while.
- We were disobeying and sinning we were not living the way god wants us to live but god sent jesus to die for the.
- Whole world anybody can have the opportunity to be a part of god's family a part of god's kingdom receive the forgiveness and eternal.
- Life that comes because of what jesus did on the cross for the whole world so that's the example that's been set for you.
- And I the reason we love our enemies is because that's what god has taught us to do and he gives those great examples.
Right the sun does it rise just for the people who are good and who love god no the sun rises for everybody the. Same with the rain it comes and gives water to everybody and in the same way we want to show everybody in our lives.
Faith and Obedience
And so we know that is gonna happen it's a for sure thing but as far as the when we just really don't know. An exact time or date and that's okay and so the tradition for people who followed jesus for the last two thousand years waiting.
- For him to return is to live as if he could be back at any moment guys when jesus returns we want him to.
- Find us following his commands living for his kingdom sharing the good news and doing all those things that show that we love him.
- And are excited for him to come we don't know when he's coming but it's going to be good it's going to be special.
- It'll be the coolest event in all of history our last question comes to us also from krista and she wanted to know when.
