The Parent Weekly for November 23rd, God is Worshipped (part 2)
What we’re learning this week
Big Idea: God is Worshipped (part 2)
Worshipping through Psalms. Psalm 27v6; 30v11; 95v2; 98v4; 108v1; 149v3. The God of all creation is holy and worthy of all worship. We were created to worship Him. Scripture tells us that if God’s people do not praise Him for who He is, the rocks will cry out in praise of Him.
Where we’re headed next time
Big Idea: God Keeps His Promise (part 1)
Luke 1v26–56; Matthew 1v18–25. Mary received the news that she was going to have a baby whom she was to name Jesus, the promised Savior. At the time she received this news, Mary was engaged to a man named Joseph. God told Joseph in a dream about the baby Jesus. He is the fulfillment of the promise God had made long ago to redeem mankind.
Dig into God’s Word
Read Genesis 1v26–31.
After reading, remind your child that God created the world and everything in it.
Connect as a Family
One way children learn the faithfulness of God is through their parents. When we keep our promises and follow through with what we say, little ones are able to see how God keeps His promises.
Was Mary happy or sad when the angel told her she was going to have a baby?
Mary was troubled when she saw the angel and heard his message, but full of joy when she understood.
Blessing
Blessings are often used in the Bible. A blessing can be a prayer of commission, a portion of Scripture, or words to encourage and guide.
Open a Bible and read Luke 1v46–47: “Mary said: ‘My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.’”
