Driving Home Point

Week of January 13

This week our children learn Jesus is incredible. He came to earth as God's Son to love us and show us how to live. We should be thankful everyday to the Son of God for His life and revealing the beauty of a life lived for Him. He will always be with us such a way, just as he has been around since the beginning of time.




Bible Point: Jesus is God's Son.

Bible Story: Jesus is Baptized (Matthew 3:13-17)


Key Verse: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." (John 1:1)




n PRESCHOOL Play and Pray

Very young children can learn that Jesus loves them and takes care of them. Play with your preschooler things that he or she really likes. Then talk about how Jesus loves us and always want us to have great time just like that. It is important to tell them in thier eyes how they means in your life. Let them feel Him thorugh your gentle voices ... and your caring touch.

n ELEMENTARY Truths

Elementary kids can understand concrete subjects but need help with abstract concepts. While you're driving with your elementary-age child, brainstorm together about who the greatest people are. Then discuss the ways Jesus is different from any of the people mentioned. Explain that Jesus is our friend who cares about us and is also God who watches over us better than any human hero.

n Time with TEENAGERS

Watch for a quiet time to look through old family pictures with your teenager. As you both remember family adventures, share with your teenager the difference Jesus has made in your life. Encourage your teenager to talk about who Jesus is and what Jesus means in his or her life.
