As we transitioned from Genesis into Exodus yesterday in the CW Playhouse, we focused on serving Jesus even when life is hard. Like the Israelites who became slaves in Egypt after Joseph died, we have to hold on to the promises of God and know that He is still in control. Ask your kids what the Big Idea was for yesterday's lesson. They should tell you "When trouble's on a roll, God's still in Control." Cookie, the wagon train cook, also pointed out that God can take bad situations and turn them into blessings. And finally we talked about spiritual warfare and being soldiers who fight for others who are in bondage like Moses confronted Pharoah for his people.
Joseph said it best in the last chapter of Genesis when he assured his brothers... "You intended to harm me but God intended it for good... the saving of many lives." Genesis 50:20
Talk to your kids about what they learned in kids church this week. See if they can quote the verse above to you and tell you the Big Idea. Then discuss the subject further as you apply it to their life and maybe the situation your own family faces. That's how to make the seeds sown by your children's pastor grow all week long.
