Watch the video below with your children.
Take time with your family to discuss these questions (or variations of these questions) together, and reflect on this week’s truth and Word.
What had God’s people forgotten in Amos’s day? What is God like? And what does he want his people to be like?
TakeawayGod is holy, loving, and fair, and he wants his people to be holy, loving, and fair.
If we love God, how should we treat the people that God made? How does God feel when we come to worship him and say we love him but then act in unfair and unloving ways to our neighbors? Why?
TakeawayWe can’t love and worship God and not love our neighbor.
Whom did God send to destroy evil and begin his perfect kingdom? Why was Jesus able to destroy evil on the cross? How do sinful people like us get to be a part of God’s perfect kingdom?
TakeawayJesus was perfectly holy, loving, and fair, and he died so that we could be part of God’s perfect kingdom.
Why is Jesus coming back to earth someday? What will he do?
TakeawayWhen Jesus returns, he will make the whole world perfect and new.
As your family reflects on the truths you learned in this week’s lesson, pray together.
Here are some questions to get you started...
