There is always excitement in the air when a baby is born. It is a new life and with that new life comes celebration and joy! It was a little different when Jesus was born though, because not a lot of people knew. That's probably why the angels were sent to tell the shepherds...so they could spread the word. But listen to the message the angels gave the shepherds, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; He is Christ the Lord."
Our focus this past Sunday was the good news that came to us through Jesus Christ. You see...a lot of times we only read these passages at Christmas time - but the excitement and importance of the good news is not limited to only one month of the year. The good news of Jesus Christ should be something we are sharing all year long with everyone we know!
Things to think about:
Parents...discuss with your kid(s) why the news of Jesus Christ is good for us today. Then work together to find a verse in the Bible that talks about the good news of Jesus Christ. Remember..."good news" is a simple definition for the word gospel...so any verse that talks about the gospel of Jesus Christ will work. For example...Romans 6:23 says "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."

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!
Kim and Raegan looked up John 3:16. For God so loved the world, He gave his only begotten Son, that who ever believes in him shall not perish, but have everlasting life.
