Kids are arrows and weapons.

Release the arrow!

3 John 1:14

Warriors let's set up and make some arrows that will change the world.

1) Read Psalm 127:3-5. What are three things that these verses say about children?

2) Amy talked about the BOW and the BOWMAN. Why is correct alignment so important?

3) Read Deuteronomy 6:4-9. What is it you need to devote yourself to?

4) Life Principle: “More is caught than taught.” Your kids will follow your example more than your advice. Do you agree or disagree? Why or why not?

5) How can you show love to your neighbors so your kids can show love? How can you speak kind words, so your kids will do the same. Give some examples.

6) Read Colossians 3:2. What is it you need to stop setting your mind to so you can set your mind on things above?

7) What are you going to do to “craft arrows” that will impact your children (or the next generation)?

Church on Mother's Day

Luke 15:25-32

Luke 15:1-2

-This man receives sinners and eats with them.

-Main verse of the chapter.

         -Divides people into two different groups.

How Much Does the Lord Love You?

Beauty of a Love Story

-"Sometimes you don't know and you will never know but that's the beauty of a love story. Isn't it?"

Verses That Are Getting Me Through This Time

April 6th, 2020:

"A voice cries;

In the wilderness prepare the way of the Lord;

Make straight in the desert a highway for our God.

Every valley shall be lifted up,

And every mountain and hill be made low;

The uneven ground shall become level,

And the rough places a plain.

And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed,

And all flesh shall see it together,

For the mouth of the Lord has spoken."

Isaiah 40:3-5

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"He gives power to the faint,

And to him who has no might he increases strength.

Even if shall faint and be weary,

And young men shall fall exhausted;

but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength;

they shall mount up with wings like eagles;

They should run and not be weary;

They shall walk and not faint."

Isaiah 40:29-31

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor

Reap nor together into barns, And yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin."

Matthew 6:26-28
