At HomeStuff week November 29

Every month we have a fifth Sunday we pause to focus on one of five FAITH SKILLS.  Here are the five FAITH SKILLS:

5 Skills Every Kid Needs to Master
1.  Navigate the Bible (survey and locate)
2.  Personalize Scripture (memorize and apply)
3.  Dialogue with God (private and public)
4.  Articulate Faith (share and defend)
5.  Worship with Your Life (praise and give)

Not Just on Sunday!



This week we talked about Faith Skill #5: Worship with your life (praise and give).

Bible Story: Not Just on Sunday (the fellowship of the believers) • Acts 2:42-47


Bottom Line: I can worship God _____.

Because this is the fifth week of the month, it’s a natural opportunity to shift gears a bit. So, we’re focusing on a “faith skill,” the faith skill of worshiping with your life (through praising and giving). You may notice that the bottom line has a blank in it. Don’t worry; it’s intentional. Over the centuries, worship has mistakenly been thought of as only singing or playing music, but if we take a tip from the first fellowship of believers, we come to understand that worship is so much more than that! We can worship God in many ways: we can worship God at any time and anywhere, we can worship God in many different ways, we can worship Him alone, or with others. You fill in the blank! There is no limit to how we can show our love to God because He has made us each wonderfully unique. So this week, focus on teaching your kids to fill in the blank with whatever He has gifted and given them to do.
 
Will you take a few moments sometime this week and read this story at home. By reading this at home you are practicing the bottom line. It has been said that practice makes perfect. Well practicing these faith skills at home shows your child that our faith is more than just a place we attend, but something that is active in our daily world.
