Question Of The Day

Ok, every one, here is the question for the day:  This sea surrounds the Sinai.  The Lord told Moses to camp by this sea when he led the Israelites out of Egypt. God also enabled Moses to part the water of this sea so the Israelites could cross to the other side.  You can find the answer in Exodus 14.  God Bless.

Good morning every one.  Hope you are all having a Super Terrific Saturday!  Yesterday's answer to the daily question was David.  Did you have fun reading about this little shepherd boy you became a man after God's on heart?  I hope so.  Today you will read about another man.  The question is: What man ate locust for food in the Bible?  You can read about him in Matthew 3.  Hope you and your kiddos are having fun with this and at the same time learning a bit about the Bible and the people in it.

Blessings...and as always...thanks for sharing your kiddos with us!

Daily Question

I was the youngest son of Jesse.  I was a shepherd and killed and lion and a bear to protect my flocks.  I became King of Israel and wrote many of the Psalms.  Who am I?  Places to look are 1 and 2 Samuel and of course the Psalms.  Happy discussion with your kiddos today.  Hope every one has a wonderful day.  Oh, and I will post the answer later today just so it can be on here.

8 Ways Children's Ministry Benefits Everyone

Article was taken from ministry-to-children website.

1. It is good for public schools. Kids who learn self-control and respect for authority are a blessing in any classroom.
   – Children’s Ministry Tip: Teach kids that God expects these character traits from his followers. Explain how the “fruits of the spirit” relate to the way they behave at school.
2. It is good for homeschoolers. Children’s ministry provides another social outlet and opportunities to experience learning in a large group.
   – Children’s Ministry Tip: Be aware of homeschoolers and work to make them feel welcome.
3. Mission project actually do good to others. When kids plan and do ministry projects these can be powerful acts of mercy.
   – Children’s Ministry Tip: Plan projects that relieve real suffering. These may be harder, but they are worth the extra effort.
4. Good for society. Children who understand God’s moral law and how to love their neighbors will make the world a better place.
   – Children’s Ministry Tip: Teach the children how obeying God and loving their neighbors will make the world a better place.
5. It is good for the christian movie industry. Christian booksellers have created a demand for family friendly cinema. Veggie Tales did change the video industry for the better and you should not underestimate the role of children’s ministry in spreading an interest in these type videos.
   – Children’s Ministry Tip: Occasionally promote a quality movie (or video series). Consider a church family outing to see it together.
6. It is good for kids book publishing industry. Children’s story Bibles and similar resources were created because parents (and churches) were looking for this type of material.
   – Children’s Ministry Tip: Make these resources available to parents in your ministry. Occasionally teach from a story Bible and recommend it for families to use at home.
7. It is good for their future spouses. Children who learn to love their neighbors and follow Jesus in all of life will be ready for marriages that last a lifetime. These values must begin when to be learned early in life.
   – Children’s Ministry Tip: Don’t skip the commandments about adultery. Tell children that marriage is important to God and it’s for your whole life.
8. It is good for their future employers. Hard work and self-control are virtues that the Bible assumes all Christians will demonstrate. Children’s ministry helps produce adults who love Jesus and follow his Word.
   – Children’s Ministry Tip: Share stories of church member who have reputations for being hard working. Explain that our work glorifies God when we do our best.
   

Daily question!  Yes that's right! I am going to post a daily question here on the blog and also on our Kids Life face book page.  This question could be a who am I, where is it, or what is it all coming from the Bible.  I hope this will help you open up discussions with your kiddos regarding the Bible.  The Bible is a book full of history.  History we should be learning and sharing with our kids.  So, get ready! The first question is coming soon.

Blessings to all and as always...thank you for sharing your kiddos with us.....

I love being  part worship in the Kids Life Ministry.  Watching the kids sing and praise God is so overwhelming.  Here are a few songs that we will be learning over the next few months.  Play them with your kiddos and see how amazing praising the sweet Lord together can be!  Enjoy....

As always...thank you for sharing your kiddos with us...
