Quarter 6: Week 1: The King is Born

Last week the lesson was Ruth and the Sovereignty of God.  I am going to share these things with parents on the EKIDZ parent blog. 

Two questions to think about:
Q1.  How do I talk to my class about the sovereignty of God?

A1.  God is the boss.  And He is a good, loving, all-powerful BOSS!

Q2.  How do I transition from Ruth to Christmas?

A2.  The Christmas story begins with a genealogy.  Ruth ends with a genealogy.  Boaz fathered Obed.  Obed fathered Jesse.  Jesse fathered David.  Ruth is in the genealogy of Jesus.




Passage:          Matthew 1:1—25

Principle:        God’s amazing grace is seen in His sending Christ to Earth

Praise:              Hark!  The Herald Angels Sing                           

Prompt:           Ask your child these questions

·       What does Jesus’ name mean and why is it important?

·       Why did God come to earth as a man?

Practice:          Help your child apply these truths in the following ways:

·       By believing what God’s Word says, no matter what people.

·       By thanking God for sending His Son to live the perfect life and die for sinful men.
