THIS WEEK:

From the Sermon: Acts 3:1-16

Preacher: Pastor Jon Needham
‍Scripture: Acts 3:1-16

In this week’s sermon, something amazing happened! A man who was born unable to walk was miraculously healed! A miracle is something that happens that we can’t explain and only God has the power to do. God healed this man as a sign. Signs help point us toward something, like a street sign. God uses signs and miracles to point us toward Jesus! The man at the temple’s legs were healed and that’s wonderful! But we have something bigger that needs to be healed: our sin. Jesus has the power to heal our sin and make us children of God. Jesus gives us something greater than new legs, He gives us new life forever with Him!‍

Family Discussion Questions:

What’s something that surprised or confused you about this bible passage? (Look back at your Sermon Notes for help remembering!)
What is a miracle and who can perform them?
How are we similar to the man at the temple whose legs didn’t work?
What does this bible passage teach us about who God is?
Read Acts 3:8. What can we learn about the man’s response to God’s healing?

Parent Tip:
· Read the sermon summary together as a family. Build this into your normal routine, perhaps reading together around the table during a meal.
· There are five questions, each with a different theme. You can choose one night a week to go over all five, do a couple 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 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:‍

John 12:10
Isaiah 7:14
Mark 2:10-11

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

‍Attribute of God:

OMNIPOTENT: God is all powerful and all mighty. That means there’s nothing and no one more powerful than God!

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: Pray for your pastors – Jon, Brandon, Rusten, Ryan, Aaron, and Derrek.

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:

Bound For Glory‍

This world is not my home
I’m here but for a moment
It’s all I’ve ever known
But this world is not my home
This fight is not my own
These burdens aren’t my future
The empty tomb has shown
I am bound for glory

I am free because I’m bound
I am bound for heaven’s gate
Where my feet will stand on holy ground
I am bound for glory

The saving work is done
Death is not my ending
My God has overcome
I am bound for glory

All my pain, hurt and shame
Gone when Jesus calls my name
Endless joy, endless praise
All when Jesus calls my name

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:

Joshua 1:9
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”

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:

Question: What is our only hope in life and death?
Answer: That we are not our own but belong to God.

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.
