Last night was Water Night and we had an awesome time! Between the super water slide and the water balloons flying around, there was a lot of water! :-)
Besides all this, we had our normal worship, lesson and growth group time.
MS started a brand new series on Sin and Forgiveness called "Turning from Sin".
We considered the 3 primary themes in Scriptures - Creation, Fall and Redemption
We considered how God created everything beautiful, sin messed it all up, and God is redeeming things through His Son Jesus Christ. We illustrated this by writing our names on pieces of plastic and dipping them in dye to represent how sin has polluted everything. Then we washed them off in water to represent how God cleanses us from our sin.
HS continued in the book of Judges and looked at "Roots of Disobedience" - magnetic idolatry. My 2 main points were:
- We Must Know God Personally
- We Must Worship God Exclusively
We often struggle to break free from idolatry, and often return to the destructive cycle of sin, just like the Israelites. We were challenged to repent from our sin before sin takes its toll on us, with God's covenant love as our motivation.
Here are the links for both growth group questions, so that you can look over what your children discussed with their leaders.
