And the Giant Came Tumbling Down

September 21, 2008

This morning we learned that God helped David do a really big job!

Key Question: Can you do hard things? Answer: I can do anything with God’s Help!

Our Story was about David and Goliath found in 1 Samuel 18:7, 12-14. How scary it must have been for David to face that giant, but with God’s help David accomplished something huge! Our kids face challenges everyday, going to pre-school for the first time, learning to brush their teeth, getting back up after a stumble…..all of these are opportunities for growth. Remember our memory verse, “I can do all things through Christ.” Philippians 4:13

When we do hard things- it makes us and God really happy! We celebrated today with some delicious Happy Face cookies! A little messy…but really delicious!

Parent Help: This week reinforce the lesson by getting the family together to tackle a project. Maybe it’s time to clean out the garage. Or go for a family bike ride farther then you usually do. There are a few corn mazes around Springfield that would make a great family challenge. Be sure to remember the “spirit” of the activity, and don’t get caught in silly arguments- it can really ruin a fun, family time. If discouragement comes, YOU be the source for encouragement for the family. Cheer them on! Inspire them! At the end, talk about the “hard” parts of the experience, and how your family worked together to accomplish it! Thank God for giving us our families to help us!
