Memory Verse: 

“He provided redemption for his people; he ordained his covenant forever--holy and awesome is his name.”                                          —Psalm 111:9

Respond: "The Spirit Changes Everything"

Before He returned to heaven, Jesus told His disciples to make disciples. This may feel overwhelming at times, but God doesn’t expect us to do it alone: We have the Holy Spirit inside us to give us strength. God desires to see us live like new creations, so He sends His Holy Spirit to live in us. God’s Spirit changes everything, He changes us and teaches us what God wants us to know. Think about how one ingredient in our next activity can change everything in the same way God’s Spirit changes everything.

Bless:

“He provided redemption for his people; he ordained his covenant forever—holy and awesome is his name.”  Psalm 111:9

May our children know that God’s Spirit has changed them so that they might become more like Jesus.
