WEEK 1 (March 4, 2012) We begin a new series, reviewing a story that may be, to some of our kids, an over-told story. What is sad is that because our kids may have heard this story over and over, they can easily miss the significance of it. We are walking through Matthew 26-28, leading up and through the death and resurrection of Jesus. The Bible reveals some important lessons during those last 3 chapters of Matthew, so we are focusing on 3 illustrations and taking them deeper: Bread, Water, & Blood. This week, we discussed the significance of "bread", when Jesus takes the bread and tells the disciples to eat it in remembrance of Him. For those disciples, they would have seen the significance. Bread illuminated the idea of God providing. It dated back to Moses and manna from heaven each morning.
BOTTOM LINE:
BOTTOM LINE:
God knows what is best for us... He will provide
PARENT CUE: This is a great time to have a discussion about what "being saved" really means. Keep the conversation simple and ask for examples. (BTW, it would be a good idea to go to Panera or La Bou and share some bread and dill dip while talking about this week's lesson).
How has God provided for us, exactly what we needed? What is the difference between "need" and "want"?
