“The Greatest Story Ever Told” for all ages, throughout all time, filled with intrigue, drama, conflict, romance, redemption, battles, poems, and more is of course…..you know it…..God’s Story. The Bible is the true word of God and we Share this with our kids every Sunday.
The difference this Sunday has from previous Sundays is that for 31 consecutive Sundays we will all be taught from the same parts of the Bible. This week The Children ,the Teens, and the Adults will all study the Promises that God made to Abraham. That Abraham trusted God to leave his home and go where God would have him go. Of course the adults will get more detail and teens will be guided and taught how this is relevant to their lives and their generation.
The kids learn that Abraham trusted God a long time ago and we can do so now too. The fact that the whole church is on the same page is remarkable. It will inspire conversation with families, life groups, friends, and acquaintances about what God has done, and then hopefully on to what He is doing in your life and my life. Then on to: how can I be praying for you? All these kinds of relationships and conversations will be taking place with God in the center of it all.
Wait a minute, isn’t that what Church is like on any Sunday? Well yes but it is special for the kids and the teens to be studying the same parts of the Bible at the same time as the adults.
I pray for our Pacific Church of Irvine and the families and visitors, to catch what the Holy Spirit is doing at our Church. That we will embrace the study, and let God have His will for us.
