Money, Kids and Jesus!

I want ________!
I need ________!
Can I buy _______!

And those are just your questions!  I am not even talking about your child.

This Sunday morning, August 9, is a Kids in Church Sunday.  So the 1st through 3rd graders will be with their parents!

This post is going to share some talking points for your family before and after the message and also some helps you can use with your child during the message.

Before coming to church:

What does it mean to be generous?
Jim will be using 1 Corinthian 16:2 and 2 Corinthians 9:6-8 to develop the idea of developing a spirit of generosity. 

What does it mean to be content?
Jim will be using 1 Timothy 6:6 - 10 to talk about being content. 

What does it mean to have integrity?
Proverbs 6:16 - 19, 16:8, 19:1 and 20:7

During the message:

There will be EKIDZ sermon note pages.  You can also print them beforehand by click HERE.

Use tally marks to see how many times generosity (generous), content (contentment) and integrity are used during the sermon. 

Write down or draw pictures of different ways we can be these things.  Listen for examples that area given in the sermon.

After the message:

Make your child understand stewardship and each of the other words from a Biblical perspective.

This might be a challenging question for you to ask your child:  Have you seen me demonstrate generosity, contentment and integrity?  How?  How can I improve? 

Ask your child how he/she is doing in each of these areas.  What are some ways they can grow? 

Decide on one thing you are going to do as a family to be better stewards.  Have each person decide on one thing they are going to do personally to be a better steward. 

Pray that God would help you and your family to find your satisfaction in Him.
