Some Great Things to Talk to your Kids About

This morning we heard from a very familiar passage - Genesis 3.

Pastor Tim Pasma gave us several good talking points for kids and families.

Here are a couple of tips and topics to talk or ask questions about.  More may be added later.  Also, please post your own ideas in the comment section.

Quote to discuss:  We will understand this world in submission to God OR in rebellion against God.

Quote to discuss:  Because of Jesus, we don't need to blame shift.  When you shift the blame you miss out on God's mercies.

Quote to discuss:  "The serpent questions the goodness of God 'you don't need God to make sense of the world.'"

Question to ask:  Because of Jesus, what can we do?

We call God father

We don't need to shift blame

We can love our work because nothing is done in vain.

Activity to do:  Play hide and seek.  Talk about the difference between the game hide & seek AND what Adam and Eve were playing.

By the way, jokingly I told my kids we were going to eat dinner today naked.  You had to hear the sermon.  Their response verified Pastor Tim's point.
Two of my wife's kids came down to dinner in their undergarments.

This Sunday is a Kids in Church Sunday for the 1st through 3rd graders.  There will be EKIDZ note sheets.

Pastor Tim Pasma is going to be preaching from Genesis 3 on Death, Pain and Conflict.
There are a lot of discussions you can have with the kids based on this familiar passage and sermon



Here is note taking tip for kids on Sunday!
Think BIG QUESTIONS! Kids could even doodle their answers.

• What did God command?
• What did Adam and Eve do?
• What happened because of this?

One of these Kids in Church posts is "My Child Is Not Able to Still Still"

Here are the EKIDZ discussion guide questions from when our lesson was Genesis 3.

Title:       Man Rebels against God

Passage:  Genesis 2:15–17; 3:1–24

Principle: God will punish those who do not obey Him.

Prompt:   Ask your child these questions:
-  What did God command Adam and Eve to do?
-  How did Adam and Eve sin against God?

Practice:   Help your child apply these truths in the following ways:
-  By obeying God in everything that he does.
-  By trusting God in all things.
