KidsPoint Devotional: (February Week 3) 

BLOOM (Birth-Kindergarten)
This month in Bloom, we are learning about how we can see God in EVERYTHING, even the “ordinary” parts of life. This month’s memory verse is, “In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.” Proverbs 3:6

This past Sunday (Feb 15th), we read about Mary and Martha. We learned that Martha was not doing anything wrong by wanting to make sure everything was taken care of for Jesus and His disciples, but all the work distracted her from what really mattered and that was Jesus. We can see God in our everyday lives if we take the time to pause and spend time with Him.

We encourage you to read Luke 10:38-42 with your kids and discuss the following questions.
  • What is something that keeps you busy?
  • How can you spend time with Jesus?
  • What have you learned about Jesus?

We encourage you to pray with your child after devotion.

UPSTREET/ROUTE45 (1st-5th Grade)
This month in Upstreet/Route45, we are learning about how we can see God in everything, even the “ordinary” parts of life.This month’s memory verse is, “In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.” Proverbs 3:6

This past Sunday (Feb 15th), we learned about Mary and Martha. We read about how Martha was so concerned and anxious to get everything taken care of instead of slowing down to spend time with Jesus. We learned that Martha wasn’t necessarily doing anything wrong, but if we aren’t careful we will let busyness and doing tasks FOR God distract us from spending time with God. We can see God in our everyday lives if we take the time to pause and spend time with Him.

We encourage you to read Luke 10:38-42 with your kids and discuss the following questions.
  • What is something that distracts you from spending time with God?
  • What does it mean that Mary chose what was better?
  • What does this story teach you about God?

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
