THIS WEEK:

From the Sermon: Psalm 74

NEXT WEEK'S SCRIPTURE: EXODUS 21

Preacher: Pastor Jon Needham
‍Scripture: Psalm 74

MAIN POINTS: 1) Express Your Heart 2) Remember Past Deliverances 3) Request Divine Intervention

There will come a time in everyone’s life when suffering and trials abound. Psalm 74 shows us how to bring our heartache and sorrow to the Lord, and trust in His deliverance.

‍Family Discussion Questions:

1. What’s something that surprised or confused you about this Bible passage?
2. What is happening in your life right now that causes you to ask the questions Why? and How long?
3. What happens when we suppress these questions and let them fester in our hearts?
4. How can the simple word ‘yet’ put your suffering into perspective?
5. In what ways does suffering drive us to God?

Parent Tip:
· Read the sermon summary together as a family. Build this into your regular routine, perhaps reading together around the table during a meal.
· There are five questions, each with a different theme. You can choose to go over all five on one night a week, do a couple of questions a few times a week, or discuss one question per day.
· Each question is meant to be a conversation starter model for your children on how to answer these questions by sharing your own personal insights.
· Even if your conversations don’t go as planned, don’t be discouraged. ALL time spent talking about and reading God’s word is valuable!
· The more consistent you are in having these discussions, the more fruitful they will be. As this becomes part of your weekly rhythm, your kids will anticipate the questions and listen more attentively at church.

Other Scriptures‍

1 John 4:9-10

Parent Tip:
Use these additional scriptures as daily reading. This is also a great way to help your children learn to locate passages in the Bible.

Attribute of God:

NEAR God is not far away and disconnected from His creation. God is present at all times and in places, hearing the cries of His people and able to empathize with all of our suffering.

Parent Tip:
We focus on a new attribute of God each week to discuss as a family. Use this time to discuss who God is, answer questions the kids might have, and talk about what that week’s attribute means to each person in your family.

Prayer Focus:

CHURCH Spend some time this week praying for God’s favor in closing the building loan for the business park.

Parent Tip:
Each week of the month has its own prayer theme: Church, Family, Community, and Repentance. Use these themes to show your children how to pray. It can be helpful to add this to an already existing routine, like at bedtime or when you’re in the car together.

THIS MONTH:‍‍

MONTHLY SONG:

Nothing but the Blood
‍

What can wash away my sins?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
‍
Oh! Precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow
No other fount I know,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
‍
For my pardon, this I see
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
For my cleansing this my plea
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
‍
This is all my hope my peace
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
This is all my righteousness
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
‍
Glory! Glory! This I sing -
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
All my Praise for this I bring-
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

Parent Tip:
‍Each month we highlight a different song for you to sing together. Singing is an integral part of worship! Singing as a family helps teach the kids how to worship at church, and as they learn more songs, they will be able to participate more on Sunday mornings. You can practice your songs in the car, at the dinner table, when you wake up, or at bedtime! You can also check out our playlist on Spotify and sing along with your favorite worship songs.

Memory Verse:

Philippians 4:6 “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.”

Parent Tip:
This is the same memory verse that the whole church is learning and it rotates monthly. Practice reciting it as a family each day at least once. Dinner time is a great opportunity to practice together.

New City Catechism:

Questions 42: How is the Word of God to be read and heard?
Answer: With diligence, preparation, and prayer; so that we may accept it with faith and practice it in our lives.

Parent Tip:
We are making our way through the New City Catechism with a new question every month. You can practice catechism questions anytime throughout the day! For the complete list of questions, answers and songs, download the free app “New City Catechism” on your device.
