Worship this week

Let it turn your attention.

  • Make Room — Community Music
  • Nothing Else — Cody Carnes

Use worship to loosen your grip and make room for the next step Jesus is asking you to take.

Family time

Don't walk alone.

Bring the same conversation you have been having with Jesus home. You do not need a polished answer — just an honest one.

Your turn, kids — ask your parent(s)

  1. 1What did Jesus ask you to do today?
  2. 2What do you do when you don't want to do what Jesus asks you to do?
  3. 3Is there anything Jesus asks you to do that is too difficult or impossible to do?
  4. 4Is there anything Jesus asks you to do that is not best for you, your spouse or your kids?

Kids, ask your parent: “Is there something Jesus asked you to do that you were scared to do?”

Pray together

Jesus, show us the clearest next step. Give us courage to obey quickly, not to prove ourselves, but because we trust and follow You.
