Hi Faith Family,
Wow, what a fun week with the kids from Kiel, Wisconsin! Fun church picnic, too.
The pictures are from their ministry week in Idaho. The teen group taught Sunday School. They taught the children about David and Goliath.
At the picnic, they performed a “mini-play” showing what happened when David placed his trust in the one true God.
45 David said to the Philistine, "You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the LORD Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.
46 This day the LORD will hand you over to me, and I’ll strike you down and cut off your head. Today I will give the carcasses of the Philistine army to the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth, and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel.
47 All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the LORD saves; for the battle is the LORD’s, and he will give all of you into our hands."
48 As the Philistine moved closer to attack him, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet him.
49 Reaching into his bag and taking out a stone, he slung it and struck the Philistine on the forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell facedown on the ground.
50 So David triumphed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone; without a sword in his hand he struck down the Philistine and killed him.
The conclusion of the play included the importance of David’s victory. From David’s line came Jesus, your Savior, who lived and died to endure the punishment for your sin. Thanks be to God, who gives us the victory over death and sin through the Lord Jesus Christ. We are more than conquerors.
Prayer idea: Ask God for a renewed appreciation for his act of saving you and assurance of sins forgiven and a future without end.
Have a blessed week!
