On Wednesday's I have started teaching the Kindergarten class for Team Kids (which is really an afterschool program of tutoring, dinner, play time, and Bible lesson). I have always been there for tutoring and dinner but the class has nearly doubled so I have stayed to teach the Bible lesson so we don't combine the K and 1st graders!
We are using the awesome Children Desiring God curriculum for our mid-week programs. Our class is using the I Stand in Awe study. It is a study for children about the Bible. Week by week it builds on each other seeking to teach young children about the characteristics of the Bible and the main story of redemption through it's pages. The hope is that these lessons will impart an affection for the Word and to learn to love the Author.
The first four weeks have been about
1. The Bible is a message to us from God
2. The Bible is a most special Book
3. God Wrote the Bible
4. The Bible is True
Today's lesson was God is watching over His Word
It was an awesome reminder to me that God is faithful and He will do what He says He will do. It sounds so simple but really if we (especially me) lived our life believing this one fact we would live differently.
We wouldn't feel/act condemned or defeated because...
there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus Romans 8:1
We would grow in Godliness and Faith by believing that...
began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. Philippians 1:6
We wouldn't "do" out of duty but out of delight because...
you have been set free from sin and have become slaves to God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:22-23
Be encouraged, God does what He says He will do!
... I am watching to see that my word is fulfilled. Jeremiah 1:12b
