Jesus Saves Us to Follow Him (Matthew 27-28; Mark 15-16; Luke 23-24; John 12)

Easter Bonus Session 2 Dear families, Happy Easter! Today, we celebrate the most important event in history: the resurrection of Jesus Christ. While the Friday before was filled with the sadness of the cross, Sunday brought the miraculous news that changed everything—the tomb is empty, and Jesus is alive! The resurrection reveals the astounding natureContinue reading “Jesus Saves Us to Follow Him (Matthew 27-28; Mark 15-16; Luke 23-24; John 12)”

Jesus’ Triumphal Entry (Matthew 21; Mark 11; Luke 19; John 12)

Easter Bonus Session 1 Dear families, This week, we looked at the contrasting images of the Triumphal Entry: the joyful celebration of the crowds as Jesus entered Jerusalem, and the heartbreak Jesus felt as He wept over a city He desired to save. While the people were excited by the arrival of a miracle-performing prophet,Continue reading “Jesus’ Triumphal Entry (Matthew 21; Mark 11; Luke 19; John 12)”

Hosea, Prophet to Israel (Hosea)

Unit 14, Session 3 Dear families, Although God had been faithful to the people of Israel, they were not faithful to God. The Israelites continued to disobey God, following worthless idols and acting wickedly. Israel even turned to other nations during times of trouble, trusting in the power of man over God. God warned IsraelContinue reading “Hosea, Prophet to Israel (Hosea)”

Jonah, Prophet to Nineveh (Jonah)

Unit 14, Session 2 Dear families, Jonah was a prophet sent by God to confront the people of Nineveh regarding their sinful ways. Jonah, however, did not immediately obey God’s command. In fact, Jonah traveled in the opposite direction and boarded a boat to Tarshish. Have you ever been given clear directions from God, butContinue reading “Jonah, Prophet to Nineveh (Jonah) “

Elisha the Prophet (2 Kings 2; 4-5)

Unit 14, Session 1 Dear families, As Elijah’s time on earth was coming to an end, God appointed Elisha as a new prophet to His people. Elisha asked Elijah if he could inherit a double portion of his spirit. To this Elijah replied, “If you see me being taken from you, you will have it.”Continue reading “Elisha the Prophet (2 Kings 2; 4-5)”

David Showed Mercy (1 Samuel 24)

Unit 11, Session 2 Dear families, In 1 Samuel 24, we see the tension between Saul and David come to a head, as David turns down an opportunity to rid himself of King Saul once and for all. We see David’s heart for the Lord as he chose to pursue obedience over safety. David’s mercyContinue reading “David Showed Mercy (1 Samuel 24)”

The Reign of Ahab (1 Kings 20-22; 2 Kings 1)

Unit 13, Session 4 Dear families, Have you ever heard the expression “you reap what you sow”? Perhaps you feel the burn of those words as you think of times you made a hasty decision or took matters into your own hands, only to later watch things fall apart. In today’s text, Ahab made aContinue reading “The Reign of Ahab (1 Kings 20-22; 2 Kings 1)”

Elijah Confronted Ahab (1 Kings 18-19)

Unit 13, Session 3 Dear families, What is the boldest request you’ve ever made to the Lord? Have you ever experienced God answer your prayers in a uniquely powerful way? In this week’s Bible story, we see how God answered Elijah’s prayers. King Ahab led the people to worship Baal. The prophet Elijah condemned AhabContinue reading “Elijah Confronted Ahab (1 Kings 18-19)”

Israel’s Evil Kings (1 Kings 14-15; 2 Chronicles 12-13)

Unit 13, Session 2 Dear families, When we hear the word idolatry, we might think about the golden calf in Exodus 32. While today’s story includes King Jeroboam crafting two physical golden calves, it points to the invisible idolatry of the heart. What is idolatry? Idolatry is a sin in which we love and valueContinue reading “Israel’s Evil Kings (1 Kings 14-15; 2 Chronicles 12-13)”
