Today was the final week of The Great Sky Bridge Showdown where preschoolers have pretended to be a part of a construction crew building a great bridge that connects two tall buildings, and elementary schoolers have learned how to become wise builders who follow Jesus’ blueprints for their lives!

Need to Know: God Will Keep His Promises

Today we looked back at what we’ve learned about Moses and God’s people, the Israelites, in Exodus 2-19. We saw how God always kept His promises to them. When God heard the Israelites asking for Him to save them from mean Pharaoh and the Egyptians, God promised to hear them and help them, and He did! God also promised to be with the Israelites wherever they went, and He kept this promise when he was with them as they escaped the Egyptians at the Red Sea. And God promised to love the Israelites. He loved them by giving them food and water in the desert. God always kept His promises to the Israelites and we can know that God Will Keep His Promises to us.

God promises to hear us when we pray, just like He heard the Israelites. God promises to be with us wherever we go, just like He was with the Israelites wherever they went. And God promises to love us, just like He loved the Israelites and did so many things for them.

This week make a promise to your child. When you fulfill that promise, tell your child that God keeps His promises just like you kept your promise. Teach your child about God’s promises by reading the Bible with him or her daily.

Need to Know: You Are The Church!

Today we talked about how a church is not a church because of the building we meet in. A church is a church because of the people—the people are the church. We learned this from Jesus in Matthew 16:13-18 when He asks His disciples who they think He is. Simon said that Jesus was “The Christ, the Son of the living God.” Simon believed in his heart that Jesus was God’s Son and the most important person ever. Jesus knew that Simon’s faith was as solid as a rock, so Jesus decided to change Simon’s name to Peter which means rock. Jesus then said that He will build His church on this rock. By this Jesus meant that the Church would be built on people whose faith was solid like Peter’s—people who believed that Jesus is God’s Son who came to save us from our sin. From then on, every person who believed in Jesus would be a part of the Church.

As a family, look at what the people who made up the first church did in Acts 2:42-47. Talk about what each member of your family can do to be the church.
