Jambo rafikis! (That means “hello friends”)! On Sunday in elementary school KidSpring, we joined Up and Adam and learned that The Bible is God’s word! God knew that we needed something written down on paper to help us remember who He is and how He wants us to live. God used over 40 different people to write the Bible. On Sunday, we focused on how God chose Jeremiah as one of the people who wrote down exactly what God said! Check it out:

And remember to keep practicing the Memory Verse, Psalm 119:17-18. At the end of the series, children will have a chance to recite it back and get a treat!

“Be good to me, your servant so that I may live to obey your word.

Open my eyes so that I can see all the wonderful things in your teachings.” (ERV)

Read this Bible story from Jeremiah 36 (NIrV) with your child from a children’s Bible like this one, and read it on your own here.

Here are some ways to talk about this Bible story with your child:

• Did Jeremiah tell people the king’s words or God’s words? (God’s words)
• Did the king like God’s words? (No) What did the king do with God’s words? (Threw them in the fire)
• Did the king stop God’s words? (No)
• God told people, like Jeremiah and Baruch, to write down his words. Then they took all of God’s words and put them into one big book that we call the Bible!
• The Bible is God’s Word!
