For many young couples...finding out you are going to have a baby is a wonderful occasion! But when the angel Gabriel told Mary she would be the mother of Jesus, she was understandably confused. Of course, her circumstances were definitely not normal. It's not surprising that Mary was confused, considering she wasn't even married to Joseph yet. But despite how unbelievable it seemed to Mary - she believed what God had sent the angel to tell her.
Things to think about:
You know, I think we can all relate to Mary. It was hard for her to believe that she would be the mother of the Son of God. Some of God’s promises do seem unbelievable, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t true. We have been talking for 2 weeks now about believing something even when it doesn't make sense to us. Last week, we saw that Zachariah had a hard time believing. Hopefully we can work on becoming like Mary who chose to believe even when she didn't understand.

Kidz Blitz is what we do every Sunday morning at 9:30am. It's a high energy large group environment that uses competitions, songs, skits, games and bible stories to teach kids about God and what He has done for us through His Son Jesus. This blog will be a tool that we use to keep us connected to the kids and parents throughout the week. We will use games, word scrambles and devotionals to help parents keep what the kids are learning on Sunday in their home all week long!

God is capable of doing anything!
Our theme from this past Sunday was "Don't doubt what God can do".
We talked about Zachariah and Elizabeth from Luke chapter 1. Zachariah was told by the angel Gabriel that they would have a baby and they were to name him John. Zachariah had a hard time believing Gabriel because he and Elizabeth were old and past child-bearing years. The consequence for his disbelief was that he wasn't able to talk until the baby was born.
We don't have angels dropping in to give us messages anymore - but we do have a message from God...and that is the Bible. Our memory verse for the week is 2 Timothy 3:16, and the first part says that "All scripture is God-breathed". That means that God used ordinary men to write down what He wanted to say to us...He really is capable of anything!
THINGS TO THINK ABOUT:
This week, parents - pick something in the Bible that is difficult to believe and talk with your kids about it. Work together to find a verse in the Bible that talks about it, and write down what you find out in a "comment" underneath this blog post for $3 Kidz Blitz Cash!
