For the Kids // The Heart of the Matter
Jesus cares more about the inside than the outside. In our culture today, we spend countless hours and dollars trying to make the outside look good. While it is important to be healthy and to look good, Jesus says that the inside is even more important. Jesus is concerned with our heart. Salvation comes when, as it says in Romans 10:9, “If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” After salvation, then comes sanctification as we develop the heart of Jesus. So, how’s your heart? Grow a heart of love, compassion and sacrifice for the glory of our God.

For the Kids // Walk on Water
Jesus invites us to take a next step of faith. So often we miss the miracle because we are not willing to step out of the boat. Always keep your eyes on Jesus. Our response to Jesus is where we see the miracles happen, and this leads others to know and worship Jesus. Worship is our response to God for who He is and for what He has done in our lives. Will you take a next step of faith individually? What is God calling you to do? Then, will you join with His Church to step out in faith by building His Kingdom through For The Kids. Let’s do something great together for the glory of our God, so generations will say about Jesus, “Truly You are the Son of God.”

For the Kids // Feeding of the 5000
In Matthew 14, Jesus looks at a hungry crowd and sees more than a problem. He sees people. And His compassion moves Him to act. Jesus still works this way today. He invites you to see what He sees and join in what He’s doing. He isn’t looking for your ability. He’s looking for your availability. Your faith story starts with surrender, and it keeps going the same way. You bring the little you have. Jesus takes care of the miracle. Your part is simply to obey and trust Him with the outcome. And here’s the best news: before Jesus ever asked you to surrender anything, He surrendered His life for you. He is the Bread of Life, and in Him, you’ll find everything you need.

For the Kids // The Treasure
In Matthew 13, Jesus tells 7 parables. In each parable, Jesus is calling us to respond to the Kingdom of Heaven. From sowing seeds of the Gospel to preparing for the final Judgment, Jesus is very clear that we should be investing our lives in the Kingdom of God. First of all, have you made a personal commitment to Jesus? Has there ever been a time you have asked Jesus to forgive your sins and be the Lord and Savior of your life? If not, then how about today? And if so, then are you sowing seeds of the Gospel? Are you investing your life in what really matters? Don’t become so familiar with Jesus that you miss who He is and what He is calling you to do.

For the Kids // Parable of the Weeds
Evil is real, but God still owns the field. In Matthew 13, Jesus shows us that the harvest is coming and that God has made a way for anyone to become wheat. Our call is to labor in our portion of the field, so the next generation grows strong among the weeds.

For the Kids // Parable of the Sower
Which soil is your heart? Jesus said there are four types of soil, so every one of us today will fall into one of these four categories: hard path, rocky, thorny or fruitful. Have you ever personally accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior? If not, then receive the Word of God today and experience the joy of growing in Jesus. If you are a Christian, then grow deep roots and don’t get distracted by the things of this world. This is your time to bear fruit. This is our time together to impact those around us and the next generation for the glory of our God. As a church family, let’s commit to praying for 40 days about how God can use each of us to bear more fruit for Jesus.
