This week preschoolers and kids will learn that “God Gives Me a New Hope.” In our Bible story from the book of Joel, God gave the people a message that suffering would come as a result of their sin. But Joel also told the people that God loved them, and His forgiveness would never run out. He told them to not be afraid because God would make everything new again. We all deserve punishment for our sin, but instead, God gives us love and forgiveness. God is ready to restore and make us new when we believe in Him and ask for forgiveness. Preschoolers and kids will understand that we can have hope in the future because of forgiveness and a new life with God forever.

In Luke 5:1-11 we read the story of a large crowd who wanted to hear Jesus teach. Jesus asked Peter to take Him out in the water on his boat so more people could see and hear Him. After Jesus finished teaching, He told Peter to cast his nets to catch fish. Even though Peter and his friends had been fishing all night and had not caught any fish, they decided to obey Jesus. They caught so many fish that the net began to break, and the boats began to sink. When Peter saw this, he knew that Jesus had the power that only comes from God. Jesus offered Peter a new identity when He asked Peter to follow Him. Peter chose to leave his old life and follow Jesus. 

Preschoolers and kids will learn that when they trust and follow Jesus, He gives them a new way to live too. Peter helped other people believe that Jesus is the Son of God. God offers us all that same new identity when we trust and follow Jesus.

This week we will teach preschoolers and kids that “God Gives Me a New Heart!” The prophet Jeremiah had special message from God for His people. No matter how hard God’s people tried to obey Him, they kept sinning. Their sin and disobedience deserved punishment. But God had a plan to change their hearts! Because of our sin and brokenness, our hearts want things that are not in God’s good plan. We will teach preschoolers and kids that when we experience the forgiveness of Jesus and trust in Him, He gives us new hearts that help us know Him, love Him, and live the way He created us to live.

Preschoolers and kids will learn that when they put their trust in Jesus, He forgives their sin and gives them a new start.

Our Bible story this week teaches preschoolers that “God Knows Everything that Happens” and kids that “God Knows Every Situation.” Nehemiah was one of God’s people, living in exile in another country. When Nehemiah was given permission to lead people back to their home city of Jerusalem, they faced opposition from other people. However, God taught them that He knew their situation and would continue to lead and guide them. We will teach preschoolers and kids that God knows every situation–including theirs–and He is always at work, no matter what. The best news is that God knows our situation and gives us what we need most—Jesus.

We are teaching preschoolers and kids the story of Job this week. Job was a good man who loved God, but a lot of bad things happened to Job. He lost his animals, his children, and he became very sick. Job’s friends and his wife all told him to tell God he was sorry for sinning so the bad things would stop happening. But God spoke to Job and his friends and reminded them that He was the One who made and controlled everything. Job realized he did not need to understand why things happened—he could trust that God knew his hurt and cared for him no matter what. Preschoolers and kids will learn from the story of Job that they are never alone or unseen in their hurts. God sees them, knows every hurt, and loves them through everything.

This week, preschoolers and kids will learn that “God Knows Everyone”! Jesus was teaching to a large crowd when a woman, who had been sick for 12 years, worked her way through the crowd—knowing that if she could just His clothes she would be healed. When the woman touched Jesus, she was healed. Jesus felt power leave Him and, even amidst all the people in the crowd, He saw and knew it was the woman who touched Him. He declared her faith made her well. We never have to worry if we blend into the crowd with Jesus because He sees us all and knows exactly what we need. Preschoolers and kids will learn that God knows them because God knows everyone!

Our Bible story this week is from Genesis 42–50. Joseph suffered for years because his brothers sold him and sent him to Egypt. But Joseph recognized that God worked through everything that happened his life. When Joseph’s brothers came to him in a time of need, Joseph forgave them. We will teach preschoolers and kids this week that they can look back and remember the amazing ways God has worked, and trust that nothing surprises God. Looking back helps us see the purpose God has for our lives and the amazing ways He works in and through everything.
