John 11:4-16
We continue our Lazarus series. Today, we dive into a remarkable story of courage and faith. Join us as we explore the events leading up to Jesus and His disciples' journey back to Judea to help their dear friend Lazarus.
 
The disciples grapple with their worries about the dangers awaiting them in Judea, remembering past threats. Jesus teaches about walking in the light and following God's guidance, even when the path seems perilous. The disciples ultimately decide to follow Jesus, showing their loyalty and trust in Him. Kids will hear what courage may look like in their own life.  They’ll hear what doing the right thing (obeying God) may play out like in their life and the importance of doing what is right. ----------------------------------------------------------

Colossians 3:12-17 & Ephesians 5:20
Today we read Paul's letter to the Colossians. He writes, " And whatever you do, whether in word or action, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him." The kids will learn that this really means in whatever we do. We don't give thanks or serve God only when we are having fun or getting a gift.  To help them understand, we use real life examples: Instead of complaining that they they have to clean up their toys, they can remember they get to clean them up because they are thankful God gave them toys to clean up. I hope  today's episode reminds your family of God's truth and encourages conversations.

Scripture Reference: 2 Kings 7:1-16, Proverbs 3:5
In the city of Samaria, there was a big problem—no food! Four lepers decide to go to the enemy camp to see if they can find anything to eat. To their surprise, they find the camp empty! Tune in to hear what God did that caused the camp to be empty and save the people in an unexpected way. 
Kids will define what a famine and prophet are.  We’ll discuss the power and goodness of God; how He provides in ways we’d never expect and that we can trust our loving Father.  We’ll discuss how the lepers understood that to stay silent and to selfishly not share the blessings would be sin.  They knew others had no food!  They had a responsibility to share the good news. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
