NBBC 2025 VBS Magnified: K5&1st, Night 2 (modified night 1)

According to John 3:16, what does God love? - the world

How did God demonstrate that He loves the world? - He gave the world Jesus

Why did Jesus come to the world? - to die on the cross to forgive our sins

Introduction: Last night, friends, we learned that the way that God demonstrated that He loves the world is through sending Jesus to die on the cross for our sins.

Friends, in our song that we’re learning, we sang “God sees me and He knows what I’m thinkin’”. We’re going to reflect on that fact that God knows your thoughts.

Psalm 139:2 “2 You know when I sit down and when I rise up; You understand my thought from afar.”

Friends, before you can even think about a thing, God knows about it!

Friends, God knows what you’re thinking now and what you will think tomorrow.

He knows when you’re scared.

He knows what you like and hope for.

He knows the things that you want to do in the future.

Friends, no one else knows your thoughts like what God does because God sees our heart.

1 Samuel 16:7 “7 But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.””

If God knows what you’re thinking, then there’s nothing about you that He does not know!

Friends, God knows both the good things and the sinful things about you.

You can’t hide your sin (define) from God.

Thankfully, He has sent Jesus to save us from our sins - believe on Him to save you today!

Friends, if you have believed on Jesus to save you, God still knows everything about you.

When you sin - confess it to Him.

When you’re afraid, pray and ask for His comfort and courage.

Conclusion: Friends, God knows everything about you. Repeat with me, “God knows me.”

Tomorrow we’re going to learn more about our other song, “I Believe Jesus Saves.”
