What a great Sunday we had this last week...I had hoped to show a pic of the kids and all the stuff they had collected for our church's mission trip to Kenya in just a few weeks (will have to get that posted later).
But what a great week learning about the blessing of obedience to Jesus...as I taught the second hour this last week I truly believe it takes more effort and alot less benefit to disobedience than to just submit and obey God when he calls and asks of us!
This week we will be telling the kids of how worthy God is of our worship, and He is when......
- He has paid for our sin.
- He levels rough ground and smooths rugged places in our lives.
- His Word will eternally stand.
- He is a powerful, sovereign Lord.
- He is a gentle, loving shepherd.
- He measures earth's waters and weighs it's mountains.
- He needs no counsel or instruction.
- H sits on His throne above the earth and spreads out the heavens.
- He brings leaders and rulers of this world to nothing.
- he is unequaled on earth and in heaven.
- He created all the stars in the heavens and summons them by name.
- He is the everlasting God and Creator of the whole earth. He never tires and never grows weary.
- He infuses the weak and weary with His power.
- He renews the strength of those who place their abandoned hope in Him.
All this from Isaiah chapter 40 (and I wish I could claim this but copied it from a devo for our mentors in this week's curriculum!) But is it not awesome to think that God is all these things and even more? I pray we are able by God's Spirit...His Holy Spirit to be able to get this message across to the kids this week and that (even more) you would get this message down in your hearts, that OUR GOD IS AN AWESOME GOD!
Later for now, looking forward to having a Blast this week in the Zone!
Congrats to our kids on a wonderful job of reaching their goal in our Kenyan giving project and cannot wait to tell you in a few weeks about our special book drive to support a local school here in Z-ville!
