Parent’s Corner- September 15, 2019

 

“Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock.”  Matthew 7:24

 

A room of pre schoolers.  A pile of blocks.  A couple of kids building a tower.

What happens next?  Anyone who has spent time with a group of kids can tell you. . . the tower gets knocked down!  What happens to the sand castle that is built on the beach during low tide?  It gets washed away when the tide comes in.  These structures were not stable because they did not have a firm foundations.  Both of these scenarios are solidly in the wheelhouse of nearly every child.  May they take this knowledge, and desire to establish a firm foundation for their lives. . . one built on the promises and truth of God’s Word.  Thank you for sharing that truth with them this week!

Bible Truths-

1.     God told Adam and Eve not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and He promised a penalty if they disobeyed.

Key Verse- “And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, ‘Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat;  but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die’” (Genesis 2:16-17).
