Main Focus: Jesus Is the Lord of Life

Book of Romans : Path to Life

(Romans 1-10)

Anticipate: The Price Is Right Game

God's gift of salvation and the hope that we can be with Him in heaven one day is free.  It is the gift of God, not by the result of work (Ephesians 2:8-9).  We can be thankful that eternal life from Jesus is free.

Worship with songs: led by Youth Band

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

In today’s part of the Big Story, we leard about Paul's letter to the Romans which was filled with good news about Jesus, our Lord of life.  Jesus came to give life to those who chose to believe in and follow Him.  Through faith in Jesus, we can be free from the punishment for our sin and we can receive new, spiritual life  

Respond: Path to Life Cross

The Path to Life plan of salvation, also known as the Romans Road, helps us understand how each of these verses lead us to salvation in Jesus only.

Psalm 16:7-11  I will praise the LORD, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me.  I keep my eyes always on the LORD.  With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.  Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest secure, because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead, nor will you let your faithful one see decay.  You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.

May our children know that Jesus is the Lord of life.  May they remember that God offers them salvation through Jesus.
