KidsPoint Devotional: (January Week 4) 

BLOOM (Birth-Kindergarten)
This month in Bloom, we are talking about leadership! We all have a role to play in God’s big story. This month’s memory verse is “The Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve” Matthew 20:28

This past Sunday (January 25th), we learned about visionary leadership. We read about Joseph and how he was sold into slavery by his brothers but God used his gifts of planning and organizing to save all of Egypt during a famine. We learned that we can be leaders by listening to God and allowing Him to use our gifts to bless others!

We encourage you to read Genesis 41:15-41 with your kids and discuss the following questions.
  • What does it mean to listen to God?
  • Joseph was good at preparing for the future. What are you good at?
  • God used Joseph to bless others. How can God use you to bless others?

We encourage you to pray with your child after devotion.

UPSTREET/ROUTE45 (1st-5th Grade)
This month in UpStreet/Route45, we are talking about leadership! We all have a role to play in God’s big story and each of us has a specific calling. This month’s memory verse is “The Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve” Matthew 20:28

This past Sunday (January 25th), we learned about visionary leadership. We read about Joseph and how he was sold into slavery by his brothers but God used his gifts of planning and organizing to save all of Egypt during a famine. We learned that visionary leaders are responsible with what they have been entrusted with and have wisdom from God to plan for the future.

We encourage you to read Genesis 41:15-41 and Genesis 45:3-8 with your kids and discuss the following questions. 
  • How did God use Joseph’s gifts to bless others?
  • When was a time you were in a tough situation that God used to bless others?
  • What are some gifts you have? How can God use your gifts to bless others?

We encourage you to pray with your child after devotion.

A note from the KidsPoint team.

Hello Parents!

We are so excited for all that God has in store for us this year, not only in KidsPoint but as a whole at BridgePoint. We believe that our kids are vital to the mission of our church, as well as the future of our communities. As part of our vision for this year, we want to partner with you, parents, to help incorporate more biblical practices in the daily life of our kids. We want to be intentional in teaching our kids how to take real ownership of their relationship with God and we believe that begins in your home.

Starting this year, KidsPoint is sending out weekly devotions and discussion questions for you and your kids. These devotions will be short but they will coincide with what your child is currently learning in KidsPoint. We encourage you to take some time throughout the week to sit down with your kids and discuss what God is teaching them and how they can apply it to their everyday life. This could be at the dinner table, in the car on the way to a sports game/practice, or even before bed. Our hope is that these devotions will assist you in helping foster your child’s relationship with God every day, as well as challenge them to dig deeper into their faith and in God’s word.

We look forward to all God has in store for you and your kids as well as our entire church family!

“Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6

Sincerely,

The KidsPoint Team
