Join the Fun & Wear Your Costume on Sunday!
God Is With Me & I Can Trust Him
This Sunday, preschoolers are learning that "When I'm Scared, God Is With Me" from the story of Gideon in Judges 6, while elementary kids are learning "When I Feel Worried, I Can Trust God" from the same scripture.
Throughout this entire series, we'll be using STOP, LOOK, & LISTEN to learn about how the Lord wants to help us with our emotions.
STOP- to identify how you feel
- This week we're focusing specifically on the feelings of being scared or worried.
LOOK- at what's causing you to feel this way
LISTEN- to what God has to say about it
- This week we have two NAMES OF GOD that help us know how to deal with how we feel. To me this is such a big deal, that we remember that who He is is the answer to our needs. Yahweh-shalom, "The Lord is Peace" and Emmanuel, "God With Us".
Each week of this series I want share some truth that may fight lies that might be feeding into emotions. This might be for you. It might be for you to share with a kid or parent on Sunday. Or maybe even both!
Truth We Can Remember When We're Feeling Scared or Worried
- Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10
- For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but one of power, love, and sound judgment. 2 Timothy 1:7
- There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. 1 John 4:18
- Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. John 14:27
- Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you. 2 Thessalonians 3:16
- Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken. Psalm 55:22
- Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. 1 Peter 5:6
- When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. Psalm 56:3
- Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7
- But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in Him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. Jeremiah 17:7-8
Load In Help?
Every Sunday, we get to build the church together to prepare the way for all the Lord wants to do in the hearts of people on Sunday.
If you'd be willing to be on a list of people that we can reach out to when we need some extra help during Load In, that would be a huge help! Our normal load in time is from 5:30am-7:30am.
