The very first time that Jesus was introduced to Simon...He changed his name to Cephas (translated Peter) and it means "rock". What's interesting about this is that up to this point in Peter's life - he hadn't lived up to that name. In fact it took Peter a long time to be worthy of that name. But Jesus saw greatness in Simon Peter long before Peter did...and in our lives today it usually works the same way.
We talked this week about understanding how valuable we are to Jesus and the work He is doing in this world. He sees greatness in us even before we are worthy of it...it's just up to us to live our lives in such a way that shows it to others!

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!
