It is so exciting to have so many new kids worship with us, but at the same time they typically have the background of the story of Jesus leading up to Easter weekend. So the question becomes how do you fit it all in.
Well this year in KidQuest and FirstLook, we are going to review the ENTIRE Big God Story. That's right we are going to start with Adam and Eve and tell the kids the rest of the Biblical narrative through the return of Christ.
To me it sounds overwhelming.
However, if this is the only time many kids are at church, it is the best time to expose them to God's Big Story so they just don't hear one part.
The Big God Story is so compelling, so inspiring, and so packed full of God’s overwhelming love for the people He created. The more I read Scripture in the mind-set and context of the bigger story, the more I am floored by how succinctly and miraculously God has woven His redemptive story throughout history. He has taken such care and love in telling His story exactly the way He wanted to tell it. Throughout His story, we see Him as a patient, long-suffering, kind, generous, sovereign, and loving God. We see that God brought His Son to earth exactly at the perfect moment, to be the perfect Redeemer.
Because of this outlook in life, God's Spirit encourages me to ask the question, “What needs to be done in the Wentzville area?”
The answer: Share the good news of The Big God Story, which we all are a part of.
