This past Sunday marked the half-way point for C.O.R.E. and the J-Team continues to make our core values exciting and understandable to our kids. On Sunday PK Baracus shared the account of Jacob working for his wife Rachel and being deceived by his future father-in-law. Jacob learned that the very sins he sewed have reaped a harvest in his life. As he deceived his own father by deceiving his brother's blessing, so Laban forced over 20 years of labor out of him through deception. Contrasting this terrible family behavior, the kids were taught the power of encouragement and caring for your neighbors, including family. There was an excellent spirit at the altars as kids sought God's heart for others. We encourage parents to talk over this important lesson with your kids this week at home. Use the J-Team Family Field Ops page to do so. (We ran out of time to get to everything, so the kids may not be aware of everything it discusses, but parents can powerfully reinforce lessons simply by reviewing them at home. And nothing builds relationships at home like having family discussion and devotion times.)
