Lead In May 20-25, 2024

Posted by Kimber Walsh on

Lead your heart and your household into next Sunday using these ideas and resources in one or all six areas as you worship at home together to fulfill God’s discipleship calling. Pick and choose what is most suitable for your home, using what will work best with the ages, stages, personalities, and interests you have present.

May your family be blessed by the time spent together, worshiping our Mighty God!

Blessings,

Kimber Walsh, Director of Family Life Ministry


Read the Bible texts using different translations or age-appropriate children’s Bibles, act it out, use puppets or visual aids.

  • Isaiah 6:1-8
  • Psalm 29:1-11
  • Acts 2:14a, 22-36
  • John 3:1-17

Memorize

“Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory.” Isaiah 6:3

Listen to and sing the songs that will be a part of this week's worship service.

  1. Triangle Scavenger Hunt-Go for a walk and try to find as many triangles as possible. As you walk, talk about God as three persons in one godhead.
  2. Three in One- Pass around various items among your group. As individuals or as teams, they should try and come up with three different ways the same object could be used. Encourage them to use their imagination as vividly as possible. (Items could include: empty tube, empty jar, cane, hula hoop, piece of plastic, etc.) Talk about how well your objects would do as the three things listed. Talk about God as the perfect three-in-one.
  3. Triangle Trinity-Create a triangle piece using three craft sticks (or simply make your own lines on paper). Inside the triangle write the attributes you know to be true of our great, triune God.

  3. What does the Scripture reading teach about God?
  4. What does it teach about people?
  5. What is the key theme of the Scripture reading?
  6. What do you learn about the key theme? How can you apply it to your daily walk with the Lord? (Yourself, your relationship with God or your relationships with others?)
  7. Any cautions to heed? Any promises to anticipate?
  • Adoration (Wow, God!): Proclaim at least three things that amaze you about God today.

  • Thanksgiving (Thanks, God!): Thank God for blessings, lessons, gifts, etc.
  • Supplication (Please, God!): Ask God to intervene where you know of needs.

God has called us to lead our families in discipleship at home…

  • to preach and teach the Bible to our family (Eph. 6:4)
  • to be a discipleship center (Gen. 18:19)
  • to impress the hearts of the next generation with a love for God (Deut. 6:5-7)
  • to pass on faith (Ps. 78:1-8, Deut. 32:44-47; Eph. 6:4)
  • to teach spiritual lessons to our children (Prov. 1:8, Prov. 7:1, Prov. 23:23-26)

and this resource is designed to equip you to do just that and help you lead into the following Sunday.
