Character Connections

Surprise! Of all the people that God could have chosen to be the mother of Jeus, he picked a poor peasant woman. Instead of a clean crib, the son of God slept in a food dish for barn animals. God often works through the unpopular and the underdogs. His love is unlimited!

How many names do you have? The Bible uses different names to describe the Son of God; each has significance. Through faith, we are safe in the powerful name of Jesus!

Esther could have kept her identity as a child of God a secret from the king. God gave her the courage to stand up for what was right and stop injustice. When the Lord calls us to action, we don't stand alone!

When you feel alone in the fire, remember there's someone standing next to you – and He won't burn.

God promised his prophet Jeremiah that he would bring life out of death. He kept his promise and sent his son to make all things new. In Jesus we are a new creation!

The Throne Room - God Calls Isaiah

Can you imagine standing in the throne room of a king? It would be terrifying unless you knew he was a good king. Isaiah's vision of God on a throne convicted Isaiah of his sin. Despite Isaiah's sin, his good king offered forgiveness and a call to share his love. Through Christ we are given the same!

God uses his people to share and show his love with the world. Jonah didn't want the job, but God's love doesn't stop!

Sometimes it's hard to know what God wants us to do; but often the choice between right and wrong is clear as day. Jonah knew what he should do, but he ran away from it. God didn't leave him alone. He followed Jonah and put him back on the right path.

God made all things; visible and invisible. There is a spiritual world around us that is just as real as the one we see. We can't see God with our eyes, but we can see the ways in which he provides for us!

Some children dread baths like Naaman did. Sometimes God works in ways that don't make sense, but he can make us clean!
