basic truths

Our children's ministry focuses on three basic truths in conjunction with a monthly virtue. These lessons are designed to teach kids "to grow in wisdom and statue and favor with God and man" Luke 2:52. Each Sunday, our team presents a Bible centered large group environment to support a classroom small group curriculum. My role as host and storyteller humbles me each and every week in preparation to teach the truth of God's Word. Often, especially this week, I need to significantly remind myself of the importance of these life lessons and practice what I teach.

Trust God No Matter What
Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths."

Make The Wise Choice
Proverbs 1:5 "A wise man will hear and increase learning, And a man of understanding will attain wise counsel"

Treat Others The Way You Want To Be Treated
Matthew 7:12 "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets." Luke 6:27-31 "Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, and pray for those who spitefully use you. To him who strikes you on the one cheek, offer the other also. And from him who takes away your cloak, do not withhold your tunic either. Give to everyone who asks of you. And from him who takes away your goods do not ask them back. And just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them likewise."
