THIS WEEK:

From the Sermon: Exodus 24

NEXT WEEK'S SCRIPTURE: EXODUS 25

Preacher: Pastor Rusten Harris
‍Scripture: Exodus 24

MAIN POINTS: 1) Covenant Ratification, 2) Covenant Grace, and 3)Covenant Meal

Exodus 24 is a beautiful picture of God making a covenant with His people. God desires to be with and near His children, and makes a way for that to happen despite our sinful state.

‍

‍Family Discussion Questions:

1. What’s something that surprised or confused you about this Bible passage?
2. What is the order of God’s covenant that we see in Exodus? What are the ramifications if we get this order wrong?
3. What is the significance of having a meal in the bible?
4. What are some ways the world interprets God’s grace as unloving?
5. How does Exodus 24 point us toward Christ?

‍

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

Ezekiel 16:8
Exodus 19:6a; 20:2; 22:20
1 Corinthians 6:19-20
Ephesians 2:8-10
Romans 3:20
John 14:15
Hebrews 9:22b, 24-26; 10:4; 12:28-29

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:

GRACIOUS God gives good gifts that we do not deserve, the biggest of which is our salvation in Christ Jesus.

‍

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 & Fasting Focus:

1. Building Purchase 2. Outreach with Fall Festival and on Sundays 3. Overall Protection for our Church

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.
