Week 8

Main Point: Jesus wants my belief!

Memorize It: “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6

Bible Reference: John 20:24-29, Acts 16:31, Hebrews 11:1

Talk about It: Today we finished our series, The Life of Jesus, talking about the days AFTER the resurrection of Jesus! We learned that even though it was clearly prophesied that Jesus would not stay in the tomb, some of His closest friends had a hard time believing He was alive again—even when He stood right in front of them! Talk to your kid(s) about something they may struggle to believe in. Whether it’s about themselves, others, or God, you can find encouragement in the Bible! Jesus wants our belief!

Act it out: In John 20:29, Jesus tells His disciple, Thomas, that many people believe in Him with their whole hearts without ever seeing Him in real life! Today we saw a promise in the Bible that is directly related to our faith! Jesus says, “Even better blessings are in store for those who believe without seeing.” This week, look up our Bible References, Acts 16:31 and Hebrews 11:1, that remind us how important our belief is! Write them down and put them up in your room. When you begin to doubt, look at these scriptures that are full of hope and faith!
