Sometimes you can talk about something without talking about it all. (For example, that last statement.) This week, we’re not going to talk about Christmas. Yes, that’s right. And there’s a reason—we need to go back to the Old Testament. Because while Christmas was an “O Holy Night” moment, we can’t fully understand what “holy” means until we see how people interacted with God in the Old Testament. When we do, we get a glimpse of a God who is more than just a buddy, more than just a friend, more than just an advocate—He is holy. And that’s a very good thing.
Parents, Here's a question that you may want to work in to a conversation this week with your kids to prep them for our Sunday School topic:
"When you think of God, do you think of Him as approachable or distant? Why?"
(REMEMBER: Just bring it up in conversation while you cook supper, over ice cream... or hot chocolate. Let your kids know that you care for them without coming to them with an agenda... just... talk because you care. And definitely don't mention Sunday school!)
It may be out of left field. It may not be way you've ever thought. Consider it.
Jordan
“He who fears the LORD has a secure fortress, and for his children it will be a refuge.” Proverbs 14:26b
