More Resources to Help Parents Get Ready for Kids in Church

More Resources to Help Parents Get Ready for Kids in Church This Sunday.
Some very specific sermon note information will be available on Friday afternoon.

Before Sunday morning 
Parents, listen to the first 12 minutes of THIS MESSAGE by Alistair Begg entitled Four Marks of a Healthy Church pt. 2 and read THIS BLOG POST

Thursday
Begin memorize 1 Timothy 2:5 together as a family
For there is one GOD, and there is one MEDIATOR between God and men, the man Christ JESUS.
You might even want to take a couple of minutes to read through Jeremiah 29, not just Jeremiah 29:11, and ask what are the Israelites to do.

Friday 
Over the last several weeks including this upcoming week the kids have learned about 
the tabernacle
the sacrifices
the priesthood
Here are some talking points for you.
  • Talk about the tabernacle in the Old Testament and then read 1 Corinthians 6:19-20.  Tabernacle was a temporary temple for the Israelites when we were in the wilderness. 
  • Talk about what they learned about the sacrifices in the Old Testament and then read Hebrews 9:23-28. 
  • Talk about what they think Old Testament priests did and why it was important.  You can find out some of this information for yourself and others at ekidzministry.blogspot.com/2016/06/god-establishes-priesthood.html

Here are some additional talking points from this week's resource sheet...

Title:  God Establishes the Priesthood.

Passage:  Leviticus 9:22—10:7

Principle:  Man needs a mediator to come before God.

Prompt:  Ask your child these questions:
  Why did God create the role of a priest?
  Did the priests have to obey God’s laws?
  What happened to the two priests who disobeyed God’s commands?
  Who is the sinless priest?

Practice: Help your child apply these truths in the following ways:
  By trusting only Jesus to bring him to God.
  By confessing his sins to God and asking Jesus to help him.
  By worshiping God with the right attitudes and actions.
