I Wonder. . . February 27, 2022

Watch the Children's Sermon here


I Wonder . . . .

  • How you feel when you hear news reports

  • If you understand what is happening on the other side of the world

  • If you have someone you can talk to about your feelings

  • If you know how powerful God is

  • What is the brightest light you have seen

  • What things or people make you feel brighter when you are scared 


Prayer

Thank you, God, that even when we are scared or worried, your light shines brighter than anything in this world. We pray that we might help people see your light in dark times. Amen


Extensions

  • Make a list of bright things.

  • Ask a friend or family member when they have seen God’s power at work.

  • Read Luke 9:28-36 which tells about Jesus’ transfiguration.

Watch the Time with Children segment from service on Sunday Hebrews 2:14-18 14 Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might break the power of him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil— 15 and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death. 16 For surely it is not angels he helps, but Abraham’s descendants. 17 For this reason he had to be made like them, [ a ] fully human in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people. 18 Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.

All they wanted was to care for Jesus’ body. 4.     Empty Tomb  When the women arrived they found that the stone had been rolled away! They looked inside the tomb; it was dark, cold, and empty. The women were scared.
