Pre-K Bible Lesson

February 15th-21st
Week 3
BIG IDEA: I believe God is powerful.
We are headed into week three of our series Camp Believe It. This week kids will hear a story from the Book of Matthew. They will learn about the time Jesus was in the wilderness. Jesus spent forty days and forty  nights in the wilderness without any food. That surely is a very long time, but we know, Jesus wasn't alone- God was with him the whole time. But God was not the only one  with him- Satan was there too. Satan wanted Jesus to be far from God and tempted Jesus three times while he was in the wilderness. And each time, Jesus said no to Satan and chose to follow God. He trusted God's words, and he showed that God was the most powerful. Satan went away after that. Jesus' strength came from God. We, too, can turn away from temptation by asking God for help.
Matthew 4:1-11
Psalm 36:5-10

CAMP BELIEVE IT: A 4-Week Series from the Gospels on Jesus' Early Life
SERIES OVERVIEW:
People love camping, and for good reason! You can take in nature, practice special skills, or just take time to relax in a new environment. And when it comes to camping, no one loved it as much as John the Baptist. In this 4-week series, kids will hear about John the Baptist's special role in preparing the way for Jesus and his ministry. John's story will help kids to say their camp motto, "I believe God gives me purpose. I believe God can speak to me. I believe God is powerful. I believe God's words are true."

Tip of the Month

February

When we talk about the “gifts” kids and teenagers have, and how they can use those gifts to serve others, have you ever noticed how certain kinds of gifts seem to get more attention than others? It’s easy to tell them they’re a good musician, athlete, public speaker, or even a good leader. But what about those not-so-obvious gifts? What are they,
and how can we be better at recognizing them in the kids and teenagers we are raising? Kids and teenagers need to know what you see in them so they can learn to see what God sees in them.
Be sure to watch the video to get some tips!
