Greendale Gang or Brother Mark

Today kids will explore God’s goodness in the midst of our fear.

Exploring the people of ancient Israel and how God rescued them from their slavery in Egypt

Give me some things that are frightening for kids...

Psalm 23:4 NIV

4 Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

We lead out of who God says we are:

Who are you?

A child of God!

Psalm 27:1 NIV

1 The Lord is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life— of whom shall I be afraid?

What does that mean:

I am in Christ!

Romans 6:23 ESV

23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 8:39 LEB

39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Because you and I are in Christ

Psalm 27:1 NIV

1 The Lord is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life— of whom shall I be afraid?

Psalm 118:6 NIV

6 The Lord is with me; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?

1 Peter 5:7 NIV

7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

A simple reminder today. In Christ you are treasured by God, live out of that.

We each come here today with our own fears and anxieties, our own thoughts that can distract us. Spend a few moments in silence and give them to God, thank him that you are in Christ.

Some of the kids coming today may be going through a dark valley. Their homes may be filled with words like…Divorce, Cancer, Moving, Job Loss. They may fear what will happen next. As leaders we have the privilege of pointing them to Jesus who cares for them, who wants their best, who wants them to live free from fear.
