Main Focus: God Is Faithful
John the Baptist  (Isaiah 40:3; Matthew 3)

Anticipate: "What To Prepare?"  Taboo Game

In the wilderness, Baptist John prepared the way for the Lord, Jesus.  Would you ever want to live out in the wilderness? If I spent time in the wilderness, I would really need to bring some supplies! Even though you and I don’t live in the wilderness, we still need to be prepared when we go places. Let’s see if we can play a game of Taboo guessing some supplies we might need for different kinds of situations.

Memory Verse: 

"Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need."--Hebrews 4:16

God is faithful!  God promised a long time ago to send the Redeemer, Jesus, to restore mankind’s relationship with God.  And even though thousands of years had passed, God kept that promise because He is faithful.   He sent John the Baptist to prepare the way for the Lord and fulfilled prophet Isaiah's prophecy.  He then, sent Jesus into the world as the Light of the world!  Through Jesus, God made the way for us to be forgiven of our sins and to be with Him forever. 

Respond: "Send People to the Light" Bowling

God is faithful that He kept His promise by sending Jesus as the Redeemer and Light of the World.  God’s Son was revealed so everyone could see Him and know Him.  Let’s play a game in the dark send "people" the light.

May you know that God will always be faithful.  May you know that He always keeps His promises.  He always does what He says He’d do.
