During Wee Worship we have been talking about praying and how important it is to pray. I have asked them these questions... What is prayer? Where can we pray? What can we pray about? Who are we talking to when we pray? What does God think about us praying? We also talk about what the Bible says about praying. I am very proud of their answers.
Bring the lesson home this week by helping your child think of his or her favorite books. It is okay if they didn't put the Bible on the list, just suggest to them to add it. Once it is on the list, talk about things that make the Bible the most wonderful book that has ever been written. Just like the answers I get to the questions I have been asking, you too will be very proud of your preschooler. It is such a joy for me to watch them learn about God weekly.
This week, Sunday, February 9, 2014, your child will hear this story:
Jeremiah was a prophet who told people about God. One day, God spoke to Jeremiah. "Write the words I have spoken to you on a scroll. I want the people to read the words and remember Me."
Jeremiah called his friend Baruch to write the words on the scroll as he told him what to write. "These are the words God spoke to me," Jeremiah said. Baruch wrote all the words on the scroll.
When they were finished, Jeremiah sent Baruch to the temple to read the scroll to the people.
Baruch went to the temple and read the scroll to the people. Later Baruch was called to read the scroll to the king. The king did not like to hear what was written on the scroll. The king cut the scroll with a knife and threw the pieces into the fire until all of the scroll was burned up.
After the king burned the scroll, God said to Jeremiah, "Take another scroll and write all the words I said before." Jeremiah called Baruch and told him to write down the words God told him. He wrote all the words he had written before and more words God had spoken. Today the words God spoke are part of our Bible.
Christ Focus: The Bible is the story of Jesus.
Life Point: The Bible is God's Word.
Life Verse: There is no other God. Isaiah 45:22
Questions you can ask your preschooler:
Who told Jeremiah to write the scroll?
What did the king do when he heard the words on the scroll?
