Story Focus: For week 3, we head to Matthew 16:13-20, where Jesus asked his disciples: “Who do you say I am?” After everything they’d seen Jesus do and heard Jesus say, what did they think about Jesus? This gave Peter the perfect moment to declare what he believed: that Jesus truly is the Son of God
Bottom Line: Practice talking about God. God is continually working in our lives. When we talk about those moments with others, we can end up growing in our relationship with God. As kids process their growing faith, they will have questions and doubts. We want them to know that no question is off-limits when it comes to their faith. We hope that as they practice talking about God, they’ll discover that sharing about their faith isn’t so daunting. We pray that kids will find trusted adults who believe in Jesus who will help them talk through their questions about God
Key Question: Who do you talk to about God? If you want to grow in your faith, it’s important to talk about what God is doing in your life. However, for kids, this can feel overwhelming, especially if they’ve never really chatted about their faith with anyone before. This week, let’s help kids understand that talking about God with others can be helpful as they grow in their relationship with Jesus. We hope they’ll figure out some of the trusted people in their lives who can be a sounding board to help them process their questions and listen to their faith stories.
