Need to Know: I Worship God Because He Loves Me! Bible Story:  Jesus Dies to Take Away Sins (John 3:1-18, 19:1-30, 20:1-9) Memory Verse: Jesus, let what I think, say and do show that I love you.—Adapted from Psalm 19:14 Motions:  Jesus, let what I think (point to head) say (point to mouth) and do (move arms in running motion) show that I love (cross arms over chest) you (point to God).

Review Over the last seven weeks we’ve learned a lot about how to worship God.  But WHY do we worship God?  Because He loves us!  We are wrapping up Center Stage with I Worship God Because He Loves Me!

On Center Stage Sally knows that all of her fans love her, but she thought we loved her because of her voice.  Didi set Sally straight by letting her know that all of their fans do love her, but not just for her voice.  Everyone loves Sally because she is Sally.  Didi shared a show-stopping story with her from God’s word about someone who loves her more than all of her fans put together.

The story was about how God loves us most of all!  He loves us so much that He sent His son Jesus to die on the cross to take the punishment for all the wrong things we do.  Sally soon realized that God loves her more than all of her fans do, and that the reason she should sing and worship God is because He loves her this much.

This Week At Home Worship daily with your child by being thankful, singing, praying, helping others, giving, and loving others. When you are worshiping together remind him or her of why we worship—because Jesus loves us!

Need to Know:  I Worship God In Good Times & Bad Times Bible Story: The Story of Job (Job) Memory Verse: “Shout to the Lord with joy, everyone on earth! Worship the Lord with gladness.  Come to Him with songs of joy.  I want you to realize that the Lord is God. He made us and we belong to Him. We are his people.” Psalm 100:1-3a, NiRV (Italicized verses continued for 4th-5th graders.  To be continued.)

Review When things are great, and when things are not so great, God is still worthy of our worship.  When we are having a great day, we’ve got to let God know how much we love Him by thanking Him for all that He has done for us.  And when our day has taken a turn for the worse, we still need to worship God and let Him know that we trust that He’s going to take care of us.

In Large Group, Cloud Nine is wrapping up their tour when Kate gets a call saying that her tour has been canceled.  Nate tries to point out to her that she can still worship God.  Kate doesn’t think this is a time to worship, but Nate talks to her about the story of Job.  Kate understands that she can worship God, no matter what’s going on.  Finally, Nate invites Kate to join the band for good! 

This Week At Home The next time your child is having a really awesome day or a really bad day, help him or her remember to worship by singing, praying, loving others, serving others, giving and obeying. Worshiping God is the first step toward having a better day.
