We are continuing our lesson series today called, “Focus on God.” In this series, your children will learn the importance of focusing on the Word of God and how to prevent Satan from distracting them with his negative words. Below are our scriptures for this lesson. Throughout the week, go over these scriptures with your children.
Hebrews 12:1-3 NIRV
[1] A huge cloud of witnesses is all around us. So let us throw off everything that stands in our way. Let us throw off any sin that holds on to us so tightly. And let us keep on running the race marked out for us.
[2] Let us keep looking to Jesus. He is the one who started this journey of faith. And he is the one who completes the journey of faith. He paid no attention to the shame of the cross. He suffered there because of the joy he was looking forward to. Then he sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
[3] He made it through these attacks by sinners. So think about him. Then you won’t get tired. You won’t lose hope.
To help reinforce today’s lesson, here are 7 review questions to ask your children.
- Who is the huge cloud of witnesses?
- What should we stay focused on?
- What was the problem with the rabbit in the race?
- Why did the turtle beat the rabbit in the race?
- What lesson did you learn about focusing on God from the turtle and rabbit race?
- Is living for God easy?
- What are things we should pay attention to so we can stay focused on God instead?
We pray that this week’s message is a blessing to you and your children.
