I'm Blessed When I Show Mercy
This Sunday preschoolers are learning, "I Will Show Love" and elementary kids are learning, "I'm Blessed When I Show Mercy" as we learn about the forgiving king from Matthew 18.
I love that we're teaching kids 2 things that build on each other: that love and mercy are connected. Because of the Lord's great love for us, we have been forgiven much and get to experience his mercy. Love encompasses mercy:
Speak and act as those who are to be judged by the law of freedom. For judgment is without mercy to the one who has not shown mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
James 2:12-13
I love the Lord because he has heard my appeal for mercy.
Psalm 116:1
But God, who is rich in mercy, because of his great love that he had for us, made us alive with Christ even though we were dead in trespasses.
Ephesians 2:4-5
Let's ask the Lord to help us keep this at the forefront of our minds as we serve this week. We've been shown so much more mercy from the Lord than we could ever deserve and that experience is what gets to overflow from us as we serve others. Parents, kids, each other- whoever we find in front of us, let's allow patience, love, and mercy guide the way we see others and respond to them!
UPCOMING
March 24- Family Gathering
We’ll be having a Family Gathering where we all get to be together in the Conference Hall for 9:15 & 11:15 on March 24. We didn’t have space for KidSpring, but the Lord has provided a way for us to get to share with our church what we do for Family Ministries (KidSpring & Fuse) and there will be a special time at the end where we’re going to get to pray a blessing over our kids. It’s going to be a really special day!
