All of our Kids and Student services revolve around teachings from the Bible. Here, we’re cueing you in on what we talked about this Sunday in church so you can continue the conversation throughout the week. We hope these resources lead to some awesome Jesus-centered discussions in your home!

PRESCHOOL
TEACHING FOCUS
GOD IS GOOD!
Jesus shows us how we can be wise. We can be like the wise builder who built his house on the rock. When we listen to Jesus and obey Him, we are building on the rock.
**In preschool, we typically do the same lesson two weeks in a row to help the kids better absorb the content**

ELEMENTARY
TEACHING FOCUS
I WILL LISTEN TO WHAT JESUS SAYS!
Jesus shows us in the Parable of the Sower that it’s important how we respond to what He says. When we take the time to understand His words and receive them with gladness, His words are like seeds being planting in good soil that will bring about a harvest!

Bible Story: Parable of the Sower
CONTINUE THE CONVO
In the story, Jesus compares the farmer to Himself. How does Jesus plant seeds in our hearts, and what do you think happens when we listen to His words and trust Him?
Some of the seeds didn’t grow because they didn’t have strong roots. What do you think it means to have strong roots in Jesus, and how can we make sure our faith is strong?
The seeds that grew in thorns were distracted by worries and things that weren’t as important as God. What are some things in your life that can distract you from trusting Jesus completely?
In the story, the seeds in good soil produce lots of fruit. What does “fruit” in our lives look like?

HIGH SCHOOL
TEACHING FOCUS
MAKE ROOM FOR HOPE
As we make plans to grow in 2025, we need to stir up hope. Hope itself isn’t a plan, but it IS a critical ingredient for anyone purposing to follow God. For the follower of Jesus, hope for the future begins with assurance of what God has already done for us in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. He is our Living Hope!

Romans 8:24-25
We were given this hope when we were saved. (If we already have something, we don’t need to hope for it. But if we look forward to something we don’t yet have, we must wait patiently and confidently.)
