Memory Verse: 

" But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name."--John 20:31

Today, through the "Big God Story Game Show" we played, we recalled The Big God Story from the very beginning to end! From the beginning God planned to send Jesus, the Redeemer, to restore the relationship between God and mankind that had been broken by sin.  God revealed Himself to His people throughout time. Someday Jesus will come back to make all things new! Those who believe in Jesus get to play a special role in The Big God Story, too!

Respond: The Big God Story Hunt

From the very beginning of the Big God Story, God promised to send a Redeemer and then fulfilled His promise by sending His Son Jesus. This Redeemer, Jesus lived a perfect life, died for our sins, and rose again so we could have life with Him.

Jesus is the One whom The Big God Story is all about! Jesus came to live among us and make the way for us to be in relationship with God forever. 

Bless

May our children know God has given them a special role to play in the Big God Story.  May our children be blessed by His gracious love for them so their lives will be a blessing to others.
