Main Point: I will 'BEE' humble.
Bible Verse: “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near” (Matthew 4:17b NIV)
What we learned:
Today, the children started exploring the Beatitudes. In this first lesson, they discovered how blessed they can be when they live lives that are spiritually humble according to the words of Jesus.
Train Up a Child Homework:
1. Memory Verse: Practice the memory verse several times with your child during the week. This will not only help them remember the verse, it will also help to reinforce what they learned during class. Have your child recite it to me next week for a prize.
2. Suggested Parent/Child Activity: Make two identical lists with the names of about 5 people both you and your child know well. Separate the names with some space so you can write below each. Then, working separately, write down below each name what Godly characteristics (Spritual Character) you believe that person has, such as kind, friendly, generous, good father, etc. Then, compare your two lists to see how well you matched. Discuss why each of you chose what you did, especially for those characteristics where you did not match.
3. Suggested Daily Prayer: Dear God, help me understand the true meaning of Spiriual character. There is no one greater than you, nothing more powerful than you, and everything belongs to you. Let me live a life that is meek and humble, so that my spirit may be filled with joy that can only come from you. Amen
4. Bible Reading: Read Matthew 5:1-6 with your child. Help them to understand what it means to be poor in spirit, mourn for your sin, hunger and thirst for righteousness, and be humble.
