What We Learned:

Last Sunday, your child learned that the Bible is a source for new life, and how it can change who we are on the inside. From the story of Nicodemus, your child discovered that when one is "born again" they no longer belong to this world, they belong to Jesus. And this new life is not temporary like our bodies, it is everlasting.

Memory Work:

Previous books of the Bible +

Isaiah
Jeremiah
Lamentations
Ezekiel
Daniel
Hosea
Joel
Amos
Obadiah
Jonah
Micah
Nahum

Suggested Parent/Child Activity:

Read the story about Nicodemus found in John 3:1-8, then read the passage about God's love found in 1 John 4:1-12. Discuss with your child how these two scriptures work together. What is God's role? What is our role? What does being born again have to do with God's love?

Daily Prayer:

Lord, thank You for giving me life. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to meditate on Your word. The Bible is awesome and true. I will treasure it always. Help me live a life according to Your will, as a new and loving child of God. Amen.
