Christ 4 Kids!

The fruits of the spirit are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Which of these do you display each day? Which fruits need some work? Let's all inspect our fruit! :) Today's memory verse: John 15:10 I have obeyed my Father's commands, and I remain in his love. In the same way, if you obey my commands, you will remain in my love."

Jesus wants a personal, one on one relationship with all of us! He knows you name! he knows you! He is our good shepherd that leads us to safety and protects us! Today's memory verse: Psalm 23:1 "The Lord is my shepherd. I have everything I need."

God is Holy. Completely perfect. We are not. We are human being who make mistakes and sin. Because sin cannot be in the presence of a perfect and holy God, we need a bridge. We need a bridge to get us over the gap that our flesh creates and separates us from God. Jesus is that bridge! A relationship with Jesus is that bridge! Today's memory verse: Psalm 32:5 "I said, "I will confess...

I cannot wait until the day I see all of you get your heavenly crowns from Jesus! I'm truly more excited for those moments than I am my own! Today's memory verse: Matthew 24:46 "When the master comes and finds the servant doing His work, the servant will be very happy."

Jesus is the perfect example. He shows us how to handle every situation we would ever find ourselves in. Family life can be a tough thing to navigate sometimes. There are disagreements and differences in opinions. Today lets talk about how Jesus handled His family and how He treated them. Today's memory verse: Mark 3:35 "My true brother and sister and mother are those who do the things Go...

Happy 4th of July! Today lets celebrate all the freedom that we have because of Jesus! Today's memory verse: John 8:36 "Who the Son sets free, is free indeed."

God deserves our best in everything we do. When we use our skills, gifts, talents, and words, let us always focus on using them to bring glory to God and not ourselves! Today's memory verse: Ephesians 2:10 "In Christ Jesus, God made us new people so that we would do good works. God had planned in advance those good works for us. He has planned for us to live our lives doing them."

God answers our prayers, that's for sure! Sometimes the answer to our prayers is no. What do we do when God says no? We must be content with His answer. We have to trust that He knows best and that he is God and that he is always working for our good! Today's memory verse: John 6:35 "He who comes to me will never be hungry. He who believes in me will never be thirsty."

Diligently searching for Jesus means never giving up the search. Never stopping the pursuit. Staying focused on Him, and trying to find Him everyday. The Bible tells us when we do this God rewards us! Our reward is HIM! When we seek we will find! Today's memory verse: Hebrews 11:6 "Anyone who comes to God must believe that He is real and that He rewards those who diligently seek Him.&quot...

Whatever we are going through, no matter if it's good, bad, or in between, we can and should always turn to Jesus! He cares for our every thought and feeling. Many people in the Bible went to great lengths to be close to Jesus. How hard and what what lengths are we willing to go to turn to Him? Today's memory verse: Romans 14:8 "If we live, we are living for the Lord. So living or dyi...

God loves us and forgives us and is faithful to us, not because of who we are or because of anything we do, but because of who HE is! He is love! He is faithful! He is forgiving! Today's memory verse: 2 Timothy 2:13 "If we are not faithful, He will still be faithful, because He cannot be false to Himself."

God gives all of us a choice. To choose Jesus, or to choose the crowd. To love Him and accept Him, or to reject Him. He hives us free will to do whatever we choose. Choose Jesus today and everyday! Today's memory verse: Mark 8:34 "If anyone wants to follow me, he must say no to the things he wants. He must be willing to pick up his cross and follow me."

Standing up for Jesus, and living a life for Him is going to make us look a lot different than those around us. It's going to make us stand out of the crowd. I pray we all have a boldness and courage to dare to be different for Jesus, and not care what anyone thinks about us but Him! Today's memory verse: Romans 8:4 "Now we do not live following our sinful selves, but we live followin...

There is no question to hard for God. There is nothing that stumps Him. There is nothing that he doesn't know the answer to. He wants us to come to Him with every single question we ever have. With every worry, doubt, fear, and concern, He wants to hear about it. He has all the answers! Today's memory verse: James 1:5 "If any of you needs wisdom, you should ask God for it."

God has called us to make Jesus the center of our lives. Not because He is pushy or bossy or demanding or scary God, but because He knows when we do that, we will have peace, and joy, and avoid many situations that would hurt us. Anything God tells us to do is always for our good. The best thing we can ever do is make Jesus the center of our lives everyday. Today's memory verse: Ephesians 1:18...

When this world knocks us down, hurts us, and leaves bruises and scars, God always helps us back up. He shelters us under His wing. He protects us and hesals us. Today's memory verse: Psalm 91:4 "He will protect you like a bird spreading it's wings over its young."

Meet my son Callen, and my daughter Juliana!

Worship is telling God how thankful we are for what He has done for us, and how much we love Him! This can be done in many ways! There are no rules or regulations for how we worship God. An incredible form of worship is thanking Him! Singing songs of gratitude, and saying prayers of gratefulness! Today's memory verse: Psalm 106:1 "Thank the Lord because he is good. His love continues fore...

Lets always strive to focus on the good! We will always find what we look for! Today's memory verse: James 1:17 "Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows."

God knows all and sees all. Nothing is a surprise or secret to Him. He wants us to talk to Him, confess to Him, and tell Him everything. He will heal us and forgive us and love us. He is a good good father! Today's memory verse: Proverbs 28:13 "If you hide your sins, you will not succeed."

Lately God has been reminding me to view Him as my good father and as my heavenly father. Learning to view Him as our Heavenly father draws us in to such a much closer relationship with Him. When we talk to Him like we are talking to our father, as a child would their parents, makes the relationship with Him so much more personal. And that's what God wants! That's what Jesus wants! A close...

Knowing the prize of heaven and the free gift of eternal life with Jesus, we are able to battle through whatever trials and hardships we may face on earth. Keep your eyes on the prize, friends! Today's memory verse: Hebrews 12:3 "Think about Jesus. He held on patiently while sinful men were doing evil things against him. Look at Jesus' example so that you will not get tired and stop t...

Friends! God loves you! He loves everyone that he has ever created since the beginning of time! He sees everyone and cares for their needs! He sent Jesus to the cross for all! His free gift of heaven is available for all who would ever believe in Him!! Today's memory verse: 1 John 4:19 "We love because God first loved us."

Unfortunately the more some scientists think they know about our world, the further they are from God. They try very hard on TV, in books, on social media, and in schools to convince us there is no creator. Friends- there is! Those are all lies! We must be on guard against these lies! God created everything we see! He created you and me and He loves us! Today's memory verse: Psalm 8:3-4 "...

In our flesh, in these human bodies with these human minds, we can easily want to pay someone back for the wrongs they do to us. We want to get even. Jesus never paid back people for what they did to Him and He was wronged more than we will ever be! We just have to forgive, even if they don't say they are sorry, and let God take care of the rest. Today's memory verse: Romans 12:19 "Do...
